Mine Clearing Vehicle

The Mine Munching Monster

The MCV has been described as a "medieval mechanism” and a “mine munching monster”, and this 10 metres long, 18 tonnes machine does have a somewhat intimidating effect on the viewer

Comfort

A comfortable cabin

Its comfortable cabin offers space for the operator, a commander and an instructor during transport or mine-clearing operations as well as space for additional equipment. All seats can be turned to forward or reverse position depending on the direction of operation. From inside the cabin, joysticks control all important ail functions.

Effcient clearing methodology

The flail unit has a shaft with 72 chains attached, each with a hammer at the end. During flailing the shaft rotates at speeds of upto 440 rpm, allowing the hammers to dig into the ground and either detonate the mines or tear them apart, clearing a 3.5m wide path through the mined area.
