Relevance. Humanitarian demining remains a critical safety challenge because explosive remnants of war, landmines, and unexploded ordnance continue to endanger civilians and hinder post-conflict recovery. In this context, artificial intelligence and computer vision are increasingly used to support hazardous-object detection in UAVs-based survey operations. The purpose of this paper is to synthesize contemporary approaches to the detection of landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other explosive remnants of war, and to define the role of YOLO models in an integrated technological pipeline for surveying hazardous areas. The object of the review is technological solutions for detecting hazardous objects using UAVs, sensor systems, geoinformation technologies, and YOLO-family models. The subject of the paper is the application of YOLO-based systems in integrated pipelines for localizing potential explosive objects from visual and spectral data. Research results. The review shows that modern approaches combine ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry, thermal sensing, multispectral imaging, hyperspectral imaging, UAV-based inspection, GIS platforms, and edge/cloud architectures. YOLO demonstrates strong potential for rapid localization of visually or spectrally expressed indicators of hazardous objects, especially when combined with other sensing modalities. Conclusions. At the same time, YOLO cannot serve as the sole basis for declaring an area safe. Its use is constrained by small target size, camouflage, domain shift, limited annotated datasets, and the high cost of false negatives. Therefore, YOLO-based detection should be treated as one component of a multisensor, human-supervised decision-support system.
