While most wars and regional conflicts may eventually cease and fade into historical records, for ammunition disposal and demining crews that are left to clean up the aftermath across the globe, the physical remains of conflict remain a dangerous reality.
Ground clearance teams confront the buried remnants of past battles daily, risking their lives to make the land safe and usable for local residents. We owe a considerable debt to those who work tirelessly in this field to reclaim lands contaminated by unexploded ordnance (UXO).
At Armtrac, we are driven by our mission to help reduce and ultimately eliminate the dangers faced by ground clearance crews within this vital line of work. Our goal is to enable safer, more efficient UXO detection and removal and ammunition disposal operations so that areas of former conflict can be restored to everyday use, whether that be as agricultural land to support a local community or for development companies wishing to re-establish local infrastructure such as gas, water and electricity cabling.
Ammunition disposal solutions from Armtrac
Here we look at three of our most popular cutting-edge demining and ammunition disposal solutions, designed for remote operation to reduce risks to ground crews:
Armtrac 20T C-IED Robot Mk2 – The Versatile Unmanned Ground Vehicle
The Armtrac 20T C-IED Robot is the ultimate multi-tool option for unpredictable ammunition disposal scenarios. It packs extraordinary capability into a compact package. Customisation is key, allowing you to tailor toolkits for specific missions. Demining flails, tillers, and a rear robotic arm with a range of attachments provide a high level of flexibility in the field in the most challenging terrains.
This robot is built for volatile environments where detecting hidden explosive devices and unstable ammunition dumps may not be straightforward. When IEDs pose a threat, teams need to be on-site without the risk of direct exposure. The 20T C-IED is fuelled by a powerful 74HP diesel engine, ensuring long operational hours.
Armtrac 400 – Robust Power for Mine Clearance
When facing areas seeded with anti-tank mines or hidden ammunition that have deteriorated to a point where physical removal is too risky, you need equipment designed to endure. The Armtrac 400 is precisely that, capable of destroying up to a 10kg anti-tank mine and quickly eradicating unstable ammunition. Its hydraulically driven 3-meter tiller rotor establishes it as our range's most powerful remote-controlled disposal machine.
The machine's powerful capabilities out in the field do not mean sacrificing speed. The Armtrac 400 can clear an impressive 2400 square meters per hour. Operators maintain full control from up to 1000 meters away via remote control. For situations demanding closer oversight by a human operator, an armoured cabin option offers a safe, elevated viewpoint—we can even provide a scissor-lift mount for enhanced visibility.
Armtrac 75T-230 - Versatile Demining Power for Demanding Terrains
For organisations seeking a robust, adaptable demining solution, the Armtrac 75T-230 delivers exceptional value across challenging environments. This capable machine balances the impressive power in larger models with a more compact footprint, maintaining the same core functionality.
The 75T-230 has a hydraulically operated 2.2-meter tiller rotor, achieving a CROMAC-tested clearance rate of approximately 1,100 square meters per hour down to 35cm depth. Operators can confidently use this machine to create safe access routes in terrain potentially contaminated with landmines, leftover ammunition and other explosive ordnance. Additionally, a flail attachment provides efficient clearing of scrub, which may conceal ammunition.
Designed for resilience, the 75T-230 can withstand and destroy anti-tank mines up to 10kg. Operators benefit from full remote control up to 1000 meters, maintaining complete command of machine functions while remaining at a safe distance.
The fully armoured, soundproofed, and air-conditioned cabin of the 75T-230 provides a comfortable and secure operating environment. The forward-tilting design ensures excellent visibility during demining procedures and offers easy access to the engine, hydraulics, and electrics for simplified maintenance.
