Internal Release Date: 31 October 2005

Operations Explorer is a stand-alone software application that allows easy management of tasks by those using the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA), a global cornerstone of Humanitarian Mine Action operations. Operations Explorer is a support tool for operations managers that allows smooth, simplified tasking and and orchestration of everyday operations.
Operations Explorer was developed based upon broad needs identified by the Humanitarian Mine Action community, and in close cooperation with the National Demining Office (NDO) in Lebanon. Operations Explorer is a tool that integrates with and complements IMSMA 3.x by filling the functionality gaps, which has been identified by Humanitarian Mine Action managers and operators.
