Faced with booby trapped fields, military personnel have to move quickly and safety through booby-trapped environments. The Python mine clearance device comprises an explosive filled hose-pipe and a rocket, when fired over a booby-trapped area and detonated, the device clears any explosives making the area safe.

We worked closely with BAE to build a system to fill the hose-pipe with explosives.

The Results

  • A device that rapidly fills 230ft hose-pipe
  • Mobile device that can be mounted on military vehicles
  • Robust and efficient for battlefield situations
  • Successfully deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan
