Services
Interchangeable Armoured Vehicle Attachments
We design and manufacture modular attachments that transform armoured vehicles' capabilities. These systems enable rapid adaptation to battlefield requirements, providing mobility, counter-mobility, and survivability functions. Our solutions enhance vehicle agility while maintaining operational flexibility for commanders.
Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Our RCV-Pioneer and Threat-Sense systems deliver advanced robotic capabilities for combat engineering. These technologies remove personnel from high-risk environments while maintaining operational effectiveness. The systems integrate AI-powered threat detection and autonomous obstacle clearance capabilities for modern battlefields.
Minefield Breaching
We provide comprehensive solutions for defeating minefields and explosive obstacles. Our systems include mechanical breaching tools and detection technologies that create safe pathways for military forces. These capabilities combine with vehicle integration for rapid deployment in combat zones.
Surface Laid Mine Clearance
Our SLICE and Threat-Sense systems offer advanced detection and neutralisation of surface-laid mines. These solutions combine magnetic signature duplication with mechanical clearance systems. The technology integrates with armoured vehicles for enhanced battlefield mobility and force protection.
Vehicle Integration Kits
We develop purpose-built integration systems for armoured vehicles. These kits ensure seamless compatibility between vehicles and engineering equipment. Our solutions maintain vehicle integrity while enabling rapid mission reconfiguration for changing operational requirements.
