From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MineWolf is a modern mechanical demining machine. It is made by MineWolf Systems, a Swiss/German provider of mechanical demining technology and services. Based on an interchangeable tiller or flail working tool, it is capable of neutralizing (detonating or destroying) Anti-tank mines and Anti-personnel mines with explosive yields up to 10 kg Trinitrotoluene (TNT). On average it can clear areas between 15,000 - 30,000 square meters per day, with a working depth of up to 35 cm below the soil level. On March, 6, 2007 the MineWolf tested positive for full compliance with military Electromagnetic Compatibility standards, approving it for use. The MineWolf machine has been put to use in various demining projects worldwide and has successfully accredited by national mine action organizations to work in: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Jordan, and Sudan.
