Ukrainian manufacturers, who previously introduced the Ratel S and Ratel M ground robots, have developed the Ratel Deminer, a demining vehicle that can remotely defuse anti-personnel mines.
This was announced by the Minister of Digital Transformation, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov on Telegram.
“Ratel Deminer is a mine sweeper that finds and neutralizes anti-personnel mines. He works remotely, which means he saves the lives of military personnel. The complex is equipped with a daytime video channel and is capable of destroying mines of the PFM-1, PMN-4, PMN-3 and PMN-2 types,” Fedorov said.
It is reported that the developers have already tested the vehicle during humanitarian clearance of anti-personnel mines near Svyatogorsk, Donetsk region.
The Ratel Deminer has received BRV1 status, which means that the development has been identified as a priority for the Security and Defense Forces. Now the complex is being finalized and capacity is being increased.
This is not the first development from this manufacturer that has made its way to Brave1. Ground robots Ratel S and Ratel M have received codification and are actively used by the troops.
Let us remind you that recently the Lithuanian startup Broswarm recently received $100 thousand for demining Ukraine with drones.
The investment allows the Broswarm team to continue developing multi-sensor technology for remote detection of small mines and other explosive objects. Before launching the project to the market, Broswarm plans to conduct a series of field tests in Ukraine.
