APOPO's HeroDOGs

HeroDOGs add extra sniff-power to our arsenal, searching for landmines across difficult terrain with high levels of vegetation. HeroDOGs and HeroRATs play complementary roles. Technical Survey dogs are used prior to clearance, together with the initial historical and geographical surveys that have been carried out to assess the probability of landmines. Detection rats are excellent for clearance of wide areas that have evidence of landmine contamination. APOPO uses special Technical Survey dogs (a.k.a. HeroDOGs) who use their sense of smell to search deep into an overgrown area without the need to prepare the ground or cut any vegetation. The dogs are equipped with the Swiss developed SMART system - a backpack with Global Positioning System (GPS), a speaker and a video camera, that shows and records the dog’s search pattern and location. This allows the handler to instruct the dog verbally. When the dog finds an explosive item, the dogs are trained to sit down at a distance of at least one meter and wait patiently for their handler’s next command keeping it safely out of harm’s way. The system also has the advantage of creating a GPS validated search record, an improvement over existing pen-and-paper search documentation procedures.
