Remotely Operated Hydrema Flail System Military Utility Assessment

Abstract

The Hydrema 910 MCV-2 Flail System is a commercially available mine clearing system designed by the Swedish government to be manually operated. The HQ Air Combat Command Civil Engineer (HQ ACC/CE) has expressed strong interest in being able to remotely employ the vehicle system thereby removing the man-in-the-seat during mass area clearance operations in an effort to improve personnel safety. The effort to integrate a remote control system is currently funded through HQ ACC/CE. The Hydrema military utility assessment supports the continuing developmental testing effort to establish the effectiveness (high degree of driving accuracy and positioning) of teleremote operations as a means of employing the mine clearing system.
