A deployable mine clearance device is provided and comprises one or more blade members that are movable from a stowed position to a deployed position.

Mine clearance

A deployable bridge carried on or by a vehicle, the bridge being movable from a stowed position to a deployed position, in which a bridge launch mechanism is provided and has only a single actuator.

Bridges

A roller gang for mine clearance is provided. The roller gang comprises: a frame, at least three fixed wheels, wherein the fixed wheels are attached to the frame, the fixed wheels being fixed relative to the frame, a plurality of pivoting arms, wherein each of the pivoting arms is attached to the frame, and a plurality of remaining wheels, wherein the remaining wheels are respectively attached to the plurality of pivoting arms, the remaining wheels being movable relative to the frame.

Roller

Plowing tine replacement section

A roller assembly for applying force to the ground is disclosed. The assembly includes a body adapted to be mounted to a vehicle for moving the assembly, and supports including a first support member supporting a plurality of rollers for applying force to the ground, and a respective piston connected to each roller, the rollers connected via a respective pressure chamber to the corresponding first support member to resist movement of the pistons towards the first support member. The first support member pivotably connected to the body via a first axis such that pivoting movement of the first support member about the first axis as a result of a first torque about an axis has a component about an axis transverse to the direction of travel such that engagement of the rollers with the ground causes a second torque on the first support member opposing the first torque.

Ground engaging assembly for applying force to ground and ground engaging vehicle incorporating such assembly

A vehicle () comprising a vehicle body () is disclosed. First struts () are mounted to the vehicle body for supporting transport wheels () for supporting the vehicle body in a first mode of operation of the vehicle, and second struts () are mounted to the vehicle body for supporting roller assemblies () for supporting the vehicle body and applying pressure to the ground to detonate explosive devices in a second mode of operation of the vehicle. The transport wheels engage the ground and the rollers are out of engagement with the ground in the first mode, and the rollers engage the ground and the transport wheels are out of engagement with the ground in the second mode. Rollers of one roller assembly partly protrude into gaps between rollers of the other roller assembly.
