Private companies from Ukraine, Poland, and Estonia have launched a major project to develop advanced, high-tech minefields. The project is led by the Polish firm MBF Group, with Estonian technology partners and Ukrainian engineering and manufacturing companies contributing their expertise.
The minefields are equipped with modern sensors that detect vibrations and sounds caused by approaching enemy forces. Each mine can be activated remotely through a secure mesh network, allowing operators to control the detonation safely from a distance.
The project focuses on ready-to-deploy solutions rather than purely experimental concepts. The mines incorporate advanced electronics, including seismic and acoustic sensors, remote activation capabilities, and distributed control systems that operate over encrypted mesh networks. These technologies have already reached Technology Readiness Level 7, meaning prototypes have been successfully tested under realistic conditions.
The consortium has already applied to preliminary market consultations conducted by Poland’s Armament Agency for next-generation battlefield protection solutions. The focus is on systems that combine anti-personnel and anti-tank capabilities with modern electronic components, enabling remote monitoring, rapid activation, and coordinated control across multiple minefields.
