Mechanically Assisted Mine Clearance Equipment, Research and Development

Recent Design Achievements


Mini-Flail Deminer
The Mini-Flail Deminer is designed to neutralize simple fused and trip-wire initiated anti-personnel mines. It also serves to clear light to medium vegetation and may be used for quality assurance in previously cleared areas. The Mini-Flail can be remotely controlled for safe operation. the 37kW (49hp) diesel platform is protected by blast shields and armor for all vulnerable components. The flail attachment clears a 2 meter wide path and may be easily removed and replaced with standard attachments. The Mini-Flail has been tested against over 100 live mines with excellent results.


Berm Processing Assembly
The Berm Processing Assembly system sifts mines from earthen berms created by other types of mine clearing equipment, such as plows, during large area clearance operations. The device scoops a mixture of soil and landmines or small unexploded ordnance onto a moving conveyor belt. The conveyor belt then separates soil and rocks from the mines, which are deposited separately on the surface for subsequent neutralization or destruction. Our Berm Processing Assembly has been deployed in support of de-mining operations in Namibia.
