Ukraine has developed Ratel Deminer, an unmanned vehicle for demining
In Ukraine, as part of the Brave1 defense cluster, a remote mine detection trawl Ratel Deminer was created for demining.
Ratel Deminer is a remote system that detects and neutralizes anti-personnel mines, primarily designed to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers.
The mine trawler is equipped with a daytime vision camera that improves control, and it can destroy common types of mines such as PFM-1, PMN-4, PMN-3 and PMN-2. Ratel Deminer developers have already conducted tests in real-world conditions, for example, it was used for humanitarian demining from anti-personnel mines near Sviatohirsk, Donetsk Oblast.
The complex received the BRV1 status, which means that the development was prioritized by the Ukrainian army. Today, the trawl is being improved and refined. By the way, this is not the first development from this manufacturer to go through Brave1. They have also created the Ratel S and Ratel M kamikaze ground robots.
