Development of the TIRAMISU Advanced Intelligence Decision Support System

The Advanced Intelligence Decision Support System (AIDSS) is the first mine action technology in humanitarian demining to combine remote sensing and data fusion methods with advanced surveillance and reconnaissance in a successful operational system. It aims to provide a reliable, efficient tool to support the process of making decisions about suspected hazardous areas, based on the methodology scientifically developed and validated in the FP5 SMART project. The system was developed through Technology Project TP-006/0007-01, supported by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia, and deployed in operations in several suspected hazardous areas in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2008 and 2016. It was upgraded in the TIRAMISU project, and its name changed to TIRAMISU Advanced Intelligence Decision Support System. Gaps identified by end-users and system operators were filled in. Among the main results were innovations for generating mine danger maps. In this paper, only the structure of the system and its potential application in non-technical surveys as part of humanitarian demining are shown.
