The Ukrainian company A3Tech-UKRAINE has successfully completed the assembly and testing of the MV-4 robotic demining machine, which was developed using the technology of the Croatian company DOK-ING.
According to Deputy Minister Hanna Hvozdyar, this machine is designed for humanitarian demining by remote control and ensures the safety of the operator at a distance of up to one and a half kilometres. It can work on different types of soil and defuse anti-personnel mines of various types and kinds, including those containing up to 650 g of TNT equivalent.
The vehicle has successfully passed field tests, including explosive tests, during which it withstood five explosions. Ukrainian specialists are actively working to develop specialised equipment that will be adapted to local conditions and engage partners with relevant experience in joint production.
The DOK-ING MV-4 is a lightweight robotic demining system that can withstand mine and ammunition explosions. It is equipped with interchangeable tools that allow it to perform a variety of clearance tasks, including clearing the ground of explosive devices and searching for buried objects. Such vehicles have already been successfully used for mine clearance in Ukraine.
