Use of these systems allows remote operations of equipment from a distance of approximately 5 kilometers. Use of remote control systems plays a key role in overcoming limitations associated with the traditional mechanical demining method, as they are useful to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities. Additionally, the demand for remote-controlled mine clearance systems for use in military applications is rising significantly, owing to their ability to quickly clear a large portion of land. Thus, rising demand for technologically advanced remote control systems is expected to have a high positive impact on the global mechanical mine clearance system market in the near future.
However, the process was time consuming and required a significant amount of human workforce. In order to overcome this issue, several manufacturers are engaged in the development of new technologies for mechanical mine clearance systems.
With technological advancements, the technology related to mine clearance systems is evolving and gaining enhanced capabilities, thereby resulting in improvement in the performance of demining equipment. Several well-established manufacturers of mine clearance systems are making technological advancements in their products to cater to the changing needs of customers. For instance, in 2018, Digger DTR developed SCAPPER, a unique solution for long-distance control of construction machines by using augmented reality (AR). SCAPPER is used for civil engineering applications in hazardous environments. Thus, development of new products for mine clearance is expected to have a positive impact on the demand for mechanical mine clearance systems across the globe during the forecast period.
