Germany – In a groundbreaking collaboration, WARGdrones GmbH (www.wargdrones.com), Battle Area Clearance GmbH (https://www.ba-clearance.com/), and ARX Robotics (www.arx-robotics.com) proudly announce the successful development of Project Vulture, a cutting-edge system designed for rapid breaching of mine barriers in combat zones. This advanced demonstrator is engineered to clear minefields in under five minutes, addressing the urgent need for swift and safe passage in the heat of battle.

At the heart of this system is the SAFETREK technology, which integrates AI-powered threat identification, geolocated threat display, and structured UXO/ERW data management. SAFETREK ensures comprehensive threat assessments for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations, making it a critical part of the system's accuracy and efficiency. With embedded predictive AI technologies, SAFETREK utilizes neural networks for object detection and segmentation, allowing for flexible deployment and edge processing, which enhances mission accuracy and operational reliability in dynamic environments.

A key advantage of Project Vulture is its reduced reconnaissance profile, making it much harder for hostile forces to detect and track. Unlike conventional large-scale systems that rely on heavy armored vehicles with mechanical mine rollers and flails, Project Vulture deploys compact, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform precision mine neutralization. This significantly lowers the system’s visibility and detection by adversaries, enhancing operational security and making the system much more difficult to detect through reconnaissance.

Supporting the system, Project Vulture utilizes disruptors supplied by CTS (www.ctsystems.ca), which play a crucial role in neutralizing ordnance and ensuring successful breaching of mine barriers.

Traditional mine-clearing systems can require up to three hours to clear a single mine barrier, leaving forces vulnerable to artillery fire that can be calculated in just minutes. Project Vulture drastically reduces this timeline, clearing minefields in less than five minutes and allowing faster, safer troop movement through mine-contaminated areas.

Battle Area Clearance GmbH leads the way in producing an advanced algorithm that detects, classifies, and geolocates ordnance, integrated with the SAFETREK system for unparalleled precision. Meanwhile, ARX Robotics deploys the specialized EOD UAVs—manufactured by WARGdrones—into the battle theater, where these groundbreaking drones neutralize openly laid mines with precision. WARGdrones' UAVs bring a revolutionary capability to the battlefield, offering a way to neutralize mines without destroying the terrain, ensuring continuous mobility for advancing forces.

Traditional methods often leave impassable terrain after mine clearance. In contrast, Project Vulture's innovative approach ensures that combat forces can continue moving swiftly without halting operations, fundamentally changing the pace and safety of modern battlefield operations.

This revolutionary solution is poised to change the future of battlefield operations, providing unmatched speed, precision, and safety in neutralizing explosive threats.
