Update on the operational field evaluation of the Rotary Mine Comb in Angola
The operational evaluation of the Rotary Mine Comb (RMC) for road clearance in Angola is part of an ongoing HALO Trust partnership with the United States Humanitarian Demining Research and Development Program (U.S. HDP) for the development and evaluation of mechanical assistance equipment (ITEP Project 3.2.13). An article in the recent issue of the Journal of Mine Action (Issue 12.2, Winter 2009/09) describes the characteristics of the RMC and how it has been deployed in Angola to uncover minimal-metal anti-tank mines.

More information on the RMC can also be found in the following two test reports:
  • Test Report Rotary Mine Comb,
  • Proof of Performance Test Report on Mine Clearing/Survivable Vehicle (MANTIS)
