FM/G387 - Additional EOD equipment
Guide
FM/BG-1770 - Demining UGV [ED-1D]
Guide

The ED-1D is a ground drone used to remotely detonate explosive devices using dedicated ammunition.

When operating the UGV:

  • Maintain safe distance to reduce the risk of damage from detonations
  • Be aware of the surrounding area before engaging targets

The platform includes a built-in mine detector with a range of up to 50m.

Guide
FM/BG-1771 - Demining UAS
Guide

The demining UAV is a flying platform used to detonate explosive devices from above.

When employing the UAV:

  • Account for movement and momentum, as munitions follow the drone’s motion
  • Use hovering for more precise targeting when required

The platform includes a built-in mine detector with a range of up to 50m.

Guide
FM/BG-1772 - Lane clearing vehicles
Guide

The lane-clearing vehicles, such as the Stryker, use a mine plough to trigger and clear explosive hazards.

When operating the vehicle:

  • Enable and lower the mine plough before advancing
  • Expect reduced mobility, especially on uneven terrain
  • Adjust movement to avoid becoming immobilised

For safe and effective use:

  • Limit speed to approximately 15 km/h to reduce vehicle damage from detonations
  • Use the lane marking system to define a cleared route
    • Markers deploy from the rear of the vehicle
    • Use consistent spacing (e.g. ~25m intervals)

Be aware that markers are physical objects and may be affected by terrain or vehicle movement.
