On October 22-23, the Ukraine Mine Action Conference (UMAC-2025) was held in Tokyo. During the event, 11 Ukrainian and 13 Japanese manufacturers presented their own innovative solutions. The Rovertech team was among them.
The event focused on real technologies that have already shown their effectiveness in the process of clearing Ukraine of explosive objects. Rovertech presented at UMAC-2025 a model of its own innovative deminer and also a prototype of an armored mower, which currently undergoing active testing.
The mower is mounted on the armored UGV ZMIY Logistic as a special modification. It is capable of clearing the area from obstacles such as tall grass and thickets, giving sappers better access to the area.
The mower is easy to use and resistant to mines. It was designed specifically for clearing the area before demining, taking into account the Ukrainian landscape and vegetation, and is therefore maximally adapted to the real working conditions in which sappers work today.
“The pace of humanitarian demining in our country directly determines how fast and effective the reconstruction will be. Japan has extensive experience in post-war reconstruction and high technological potential. Japan is also among the international leaders when it comes to supporting demining in Ukraine. We were glad to have the opportunity to tell our Japanese partners about ZMIY, and how by combining it with a mower we can achieve even greater results. It was a valuable experience exchange, and we would definitely like to establish cooperation with Japanese companies in the future to further improve our technologies.
We are sincerely grateful to the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine and personally to Minister Oleksii Sobolev and the Deputy Minister Ihor Bezkaravainyi for the invitation, and to the Government of Japan for its dedicated support of Ukraine. Being among those present at such an important event for demining in Ukraine is a great honor for our team and a significant distinction for our products,” said Borys Drozhak, co-founder of Rovertech.
During the event, Rovertech also held a series of meetings with potential partners and Japanese government organizations with the aim of opening joint ventures or obtaining a license in the Asian market.
Ukraine Mine Action Conference 2025 (UMAC 2025) is the main international platform where the future of a safe Ukraine is being shaped through the experience exchange, innovation and the creation of new partnerships. The conference brought together representatives of 57 countries, Japanese and Ukrainian manufacturers, international organizations and partners supporting the demining and restoration of Ukraine.
