Armtrac designs and builds mine clearance machines and tools to assist worldwide land clearance operations. Our team has many years of experience in mine detection, removal, and safe disposal. We are dedicated to helping make land safe again for communities around the world.
Armtrac’s mine clearance machines are fast, safe, and easy to use. They can significantly speed up clearance operations, saving time and money. Armtrac’s machines are also highly effective at clearing land of landmines and other explosives, even in challenging terrain.
Our range of mine clearance machines includes:
- The Armtrac 400: This machine is capable of clearing 2,400 square meters per hour, depending on terrain and operator experience. It can withstand and destroy 15kg anti-tank mines, making it ideal for clearing access roadways across contaminated land including double-stacked anti-tank landmines.
- The Armtrac 20T C-IED Robot Mk2: This crewless ground vehicle is perfect for clearing overgrown and challenging terrain. It can be equipped with a variety of tools, including a demining flail or tiller attachment and a rear robotic arm.
Millions of tons of unexploded ordnance (UXO) still litter the battlefields of past wars, posing a serious threat to human life and the environment. Armtrac is helping to make the world a safer place by developing cutting-edge mine clearance machines to complete the job of ground clearance, faster, safer and more efficient for reclamation teams.
Why are landmines still a problem?
UXO still remains a significant problem in many countries around the world, especially in areas of more recent former conflicts such as civil wars. According to information published in the Smithsonian Magazine, there are still thousands of tons of unexploded ordnance within Germany alone from the Second World War. An estimate suggests that around 78 countries are still contaminated by hidden landmines.
Unexploded ordnance poses a significant risk to human life and the environment. It can become unstable and be triggered at any time, even if it is decades old and has been left to perish under the earth following a long-forgotten conflict. Many devices can also release toxic chemicals into the soil which seeps into the water table, contaminating the surrounding environment and harming wildlife.
It is in everyone's best interest to ensure that land earmarked for reclamation and returned to local communities is free from the risks posed by explosive ordnance, such as landmines and munition dumps.
Armtrac is a leading company that designs and builds mine clearance machines and tools to assist worldwide land clearance operations. Armtrac's products are used to detect and dispose of landmines and other hidden unexploded ordnance safely and efficiently.
Armtrac offers a range of cutting-edge manually operated or crewless machines, remote-controlled robots and tools, including the Armtrac 400, and the Armtrac 20T C-IED Robot Mk2, which is an uncrewed ground vehicle that can be equipped with a variety of tools for clearing scrubland and breaking up compacted earth that is suspected to contain UXO. The A20T can perform a range of tasks, including:
Conventional Demining & EO Clearance Operations:
- Mechanical Survey and EO Reconnaissance
- Mechanical demining where there is restricted access for larger mechanical equipment
- Vegetation cutting before manual or canine-assisted demining
- Small clearance operations & area reduction
Counter-IED Operations:
- Support to C-IED operations
- Support to Route Clearance operations
- Surface/Sub-surface IED Disposal
- Mechanical Surrogate Scout for Dismounted Foot Patrols
