The GRCS "Zmiy", developed by Rovertech, is designed to significantly reduce the cost of demining per square meter. The system is 40 times cheaper than its counterparts and 15 times more economical to operate.
The system's mobility allows it to be transported on a trailer and deployed within minutes, regardless of terrain or soil type.
"Zmiy" is specifically engineered to handle a high likelihood of mine detonations, including both anti-personnel and anti-tank mines. Its primary mission is to create a safe zone for sappers by ensuring mines are detonated—not buried or displaced—behind the deminer.
Additionally, the GRCS "Zmiy" doubles as an armored mower, detonating any mines it encounters while clearing dense or tall vegetation. This dual function simplifies demining operations and enhances sapper safety in overgrown areas.

-
Why 135mm working area and not more?
We are creating a combat demining machine. Its dimensions should give it maximum survivability, and first of all be directed to a human trawl. To provide a larger lane, more UGVs or several aisles are used.
-
What can be the price?
The price is adjusted relative to occupancy, but the base has a fixed price depending on the volume and terms of purchase.
-
How will it work in landing?
In landings, the deminer removes stretch marks and PPM, but the level of passability depends very much on the type of landing.
-
Will he drive on tank tracks?
Zmiy will go wherever the average jeep goes.
-
Protection from swamp filling?
For this, a special half construction of metal wheels is used.
-
Why does a tank blow up and your drone doesn't?
The main reason is not disclosed and is proprietary.
-
What if the edge of the ski explodes?
Skis can fly away and bend during TM. We recommend taking a spare for maximum efficiency.
-
How does he react to barbed wire?
The shaft winds the wire and can pull it out of position.
-
How does the system react in case of loss of communication?
The reaction of the drone is calculated for combat demining. Thoughtful reaction, and mechanisms of removal from the battlefield.
