Concept of Light Autonomous Machines for Dual Use

This article is describing the family of light machines for dual use. Demining machines are used for neutralization of mine obstacles in open and urban mine contaminated areas. By changing the working tool, those machines can be used to perform other work in endangered areas or for commercial purposes, i.e. soil or mine ore excavation work, etc. Unmanned platform is based on 5 ton tracked machine with hydrostatic or diesel – electric power transmission. Working device is rotating telescopic arm with required reach, which can accommodate different tools and sensors: flail, roller, loading shovel, dozer blade, gripper, forks, multisensor detectors, etc. Machine removal of mine and similar threats is reducing required manpower, preventing injuries and is saving lives. Future autonomous machine should reliably perform tasks of heavy counter mine operations and enable development of various intelligent systems for commercial purposes, in order to make the whole project economically feasible.
