Unmanned demining robot
Our demining robot is a unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). It is compact, fast, and cost-effective solution, capable of neutralizing anti-personnel mines and detecting larger explosives.
- Platform: Small unmanned tracked vehicle, designed for rough terrains
- Neutralization method: Mechanical
- Control: Remote control, safe operation from a distance, fiber optic cable option
- Efficiency: Up to 5x faster and cheaper than existing solutions
- Cost: Up to 10x more affordable than current alternatives
- Rapid deployment: Only one week of training required
- Replaceable rotor: Quick and easy component swap
- Does not activate anti-tank mines: low ground pressure allows detection without triggering.
- Multifunctional: Enables the use of various attachments according to needs – such as rotor and plow together or separately. Future additions like a robotic arm will further enhance functionality.
How Does Our Technology Remove Landmines?
Our demining robot employs a mechanical approach, including a flail system, to neutralize mines:
- Selective pressure application: strong enough to detonate anti-personnel mines but not heavy enough to activate anti-tank mines.
- Anti-tank mine mitigation: in the rare case an anti-tank mine detonates, the front section is designed to be replaceable, preventing damage to the vehicle.
- Alternative method: if a mine does not detonate, the robot can push it aside using a plow.
Civilian Use Cases
- Agricultural land clearance: 10–20 smaller machines can complete the task up to 5x faster than a single large machine.
- Roadside, construction sites, and utility corridors: facilitates rebuilding efforts.
- Humanitarian demining: suitable for UN, Halo Trust, governments, and NGOs
Mechanical Detonation & Safety
- Flail system deploys chains onto the ground, safely detonating mines.
- Remote operation keeps the operator at a safe distance.
- Adjustable depth enables clearance based on terrain and mine types.
