GCS-200

General description

The GCS-200 is a heavy-duty platform with compact dimensions for effective clearance of Anti-Personnel (AP) and Anti-Tank (AT) mines, disposal of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), in high-threat environments where maximum survivability and resistance is required – built, tested and operationally certified to international standards.

Working characteristics

The GCS-200 is a multi-purpose remote controlled platform that meets the requirements of the light and medium mine clearance machines designed to render safe explosive hazards and to prepare the ground in accordance with the IMAS 09.50 and CWA 15044:2009 standards. Conformity and suitability of GCS-200 equipped with either Flail or Tiller Attachments as a mechanical ground preparation machine has been independently tested, evaluated, and certified by CROMAC – Centre for Testing, Development and Training (CROMAC-CTDT) in Croatia in accordance with the IMAS 09.50 and CWA 15044:2009 standards. GCS-200 equipped with either Flail or Tiller Attachment detonates or destroys explosive hazards including all types of antipersonnel and antitank mines, and mechanically prepares the ground to a depth of 250-300 mm, including vegetation cutting and clearing, removal of tripwires, loosening the soil, and the processing of soil and debris. GCS-200 equipped with M-200 Manipulator Arm is capable of dealing with heavy objects and has a lifting capacity from 250 kg up to 3,000 kg. Manipulator arm comes with a BGT-200 Bucket Gripper Tool for grabbing the bombs/IEDs/UXOs for excavation and relocation. Manipulator Arm is also used for dangerous tasks such as remote-controlled manipulation of UXOs or IEDs from cover, route clearance and area preparation. It is also an ideal tool for tasks such as digging trenches and burn-out kilns.
