UK company Pearson Engineering announced the launch of its MineWolf 370 Next Generation (MW370 NG) mine clearance vehicle (MCV) at the DIMDEX 2026 defence exhibition held in Doha, Qatar from 19 to 22 January.
Uncrewed and remotely operated, the MW370 NG is focused on more efficient clearance of anti-personnel (AP) and anti-tank (AT) landmines across large areas. The company announced an internal investment of GBP1.5 million (USD2 million) in the system at the launch.
On 2 April 2024, Pearson Engineering announced that within a larger contract from the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) procurement body, it would send an unknown number of its MW370 MCVs to Ukraine to help clear some of the vast areas of the country of mines either laid on the surface or buried.
The NG vehicle is designed for further evolution in mind, Tim Prichard, business development manager at Pearson Engineering, told Janes. “It has the capability for full autonomy, but the requirement for that isn't there yet,” he said.
With a tiller fitted, the vehicle is 8.3 m long, 3.4 m wide, and weighs 24.9 tonnes.
The tiller allows a mine clearance area width of 2.8 m, to a depth of 350 mm. With a clearance speed of between 0.8 and 2.3 km h, the MW370 NG can clear a maximum of 30,000 m²/day (4,500 m²/hour), according to Pearson.
