Landmine Clearance International createss or bolsters indigenous manual mine clearance capabilities in mine affected countries, using all methods of landmine and explosive ordinance disposal. to that end, LCI provides local people with the opportunity to enhance manaual clearance operations with sophisticated tehnology. State and non-governement organizaations throughout the world have labored increasingly in recent years to develop new technologies to counter the landmine threat. At the same time, organizations that work in the field usually have to buy their equipment from governments or milirary hardware companies. LCI is the only organization in the world that combines both; we teach landmine clearance and produce high technology equipment.

With that unprecedented dual capability, LCI can involve its field teams in every stage of design, testing, and developemtn. LCI is also unique in that its equipment design and production faciliry in the United States works seamlessly and rapidly with the personnel in the field to deliver new solutions to the problems as they arise. The local technical support and mine clearance teams will therefore learn how to operate and repair equipment that was designed specifically to meet the challenges that they face. Most importantly, at every level, LCI retains its commitment to broad-based economic rehabilitation, so ongoing production of technical equipment involves local staff and resources.
