Armtrac: The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company Making a Difference

Armtrac Limited is a privately owned explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) company based in Cambridgeshire, England. We design and manufacture the Armtrac range of armoured mechanical demining equipment to operate in areas contaminated by landmines and other unexploded explosive ordnance (UXO). We also provide a means of technical survey in land release operations.

Our Mission

We aim to manufacture quality, trusted, safe, and value-for-money mechanical equipment to clear landmines and UXO. We believe everyone deserves to live in a world free from the threat of explosive hazards.

What Makes Armtrac Unique

Several things set Armtrac apart from other EOD companies:

  • Experience: Our founder and Managing Director, Stephen Brown, has been involved in the design, manufacture, and operation of mine-clearing machines for decades. He has assisted many successful mine and UXO clearing operations in many parts of the world.
  • Expertise: Our engineering team has many years of experience manufacturing and using mine clearance machines. We also have an ongoing research and development program to ensure that our machines are always at the cutting edge of technology.
  • Product Range: We offer the complete land and route mechanical toolbox for both clearance and technical survey of UXO. This means that you can get everything you need from one place.
  • Quality: We are committed to providing the highest quality equipment possible. Our machines are subject to rigorous testing and inspection during manufacture, and we have a comprehensive quality management system in place.
  • Customer Service: We are dedicated to providing our customers the best possible service. We offer various support services, including training, maintenance, and spare parts.
  • Armtrac machines are certified to meet the latest international standards for mine clearance equipment.

For example, take a look at one of our most popular and versatile demining machines:

Armtrac 20T C-IED Robot Mk2: The Versatile UGV for C-IED Demining and Beyond

The Armtrac 20T C-IED Robot Mk2 is more than just a demining robot; it's a flexible, cost-effective, and multi-talented Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) ready to tackle various challenges in hazardous environments. 

Whether you need to clear landmines, investigate suspicious objects, or support counter-IED operations, the 20T has you covered.

Capabilities:

  • Demining and C-EO Clearance: Equipped with a flail or tiller attachment, the 20T efficiently clears anti-personnel mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) through detonation or shattering.
  • Technical Survey and Reconnaissance: Navigates tight spaces and gathers valuable intelligence with the 20T's compact size and manoeuvrability.
  • Vegetation Cutting: Prepare terrain for manual or canine demining with the powerful tiller or flail, which doubles as a vegetation cutter.
  • Counter-IED Operations: Support route clearance, surface/sub-surface IED disposal, and act as a mechanical surrogate scout for dismounted patrols.

Adaptability is Key

The 20T's versatility shines through its quick-hitch attachments. Swap between tools like:

  • Robotic Arm: Grab suspicious objects, move them to safety, or operate tools like strimmers and scrape buckets.
  • Disruptor/Exploder: Safely dispose of surface IEDs.
  • Forward-mounted bucket, forklift, or dozer blade: Handle light engineering tasks and remove heavy objects.
  • Rotary Mine Comb: Extract anti-tank and anti-personnel mines gently, minimizing dust and fuel consumption.

Built for Tough Terrain

The 20T conquers challenging landscapes with its:

  • Heavy-duty rubber tracks with low ground pressure (less than 5 PSI).
  • Manoeuvrability to climb, descend and traverse 45° slopes and deep gullies.
  • Powerful 74 HP diesel engine for extended operation.

Advanced Control and Intelligence:

  • The remote control station transmits operator commands and displays critical vehicle data.
  • Up to four onboard HD cameras with a high-speed, closed-circuit WiFi network provide detailed remote viewing.
  • Intuitive software makes operations smooth and efficient.

The Armtrac 20T C-IED Robot Mk2 is more than just a demining tool; it's a versatile asset for any situation requiring precise, safe, and effective operations in hazardous environments.
