It was the first time that the military transformed and removed various land mines like a plow. The Defense Acquisition Program Administration announced on the 30th: “We first delivered and deployed a ‘front barrier tank’ that can detect and eliminate a large number of antipersonnel and anti-tank mines for the military on the 29th.”
Remove the mines while moving at a speed of 5 ~ 10㎞ / h
Fire a strong magnetic field and detonate a mine sensitive to magnetism
In April, the MV4 unmanned demining vehicle was deployed
It is a tank developed by Hyundai Rotem for four years starting in 2014. 80 units total by 2023I plan to do it. Enterprise scale 4113 billion wonCarries
This tank is expected to be used primarily by army engineers to clear mines in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The area of the DMZ mine area is 40 times the area of Yeouido (about 1 million pyeong), and 2 million mines are buried here, so the density of mines is the highest in the world.

Meanwhile, the military threw explosives from a truck, exploded a mine in front of it and broke through with an excavator. It was dangerous and the speed of work was slow.
The military hopes that obstacle-finding tanks will solve these problems. Above all, it has excellent mobility.
The tank in front of obstacles is Mine clearance Using a plow to move at a high speed of 5-10 km / h, destroy the overturned antipersonnel and anti-tank mines.do. Normally the moving speed of the tram is 30km / h on average and 60km / h, so it can be quickly placed on the mine clearance site.

It is also equipped with self-sensing mine clearance equipment that explodes in response to magnetism rather than pressure from tanks or people. Fire a strong magnetic field to blow up a mine on the ground.
The company explained that the body’s protection is high enough to continue to function even if an anti-tank mine explodes during mine clearance. After removing the mines, it was equipped with equipment that automatically plugs in the passing signaling equipment on both sides of the road, which means a kind of safety zone.
It appears that it can be used in various ways in the engineering unit by mounting a separate digging arm. Trenches and barriers can be removed by connecting an excavator kit or mulcher to the excavator arm. It can also be used to lift or move heavy equipment as a substitute for a crane.

Previously, the army mobilized special vehicles to remove mines. Army Ground Operations Command Special Operations Support BrigadeIt was founded last December. In April, the unit was equipped with the same tracked remote-controlled mining vehicle currently used by the US military. MV4It was introduced for the first time.
There are plans to introduce a total of nine vehicles, but the military seeks to create synergy in landmine clearance if all are electrified.
