At DIMDEX in Qatar on 19 January, Pearson Engineering announced its £1.5 million investment in the next-generation MineWolf 370 (MW370 NG), a new uncrewed mine and route clearance platform.
Leveraging the company’s impressive engineering legacy and coupling that expertise to pioneering remote-control technology, MW370 NG incorporates advanced integrated automation, delivering extended operational endurance while eliminating obsolescence and reducing operator risk. Featuring enhanced maintainability, reinforced ballistic protection and significantly improved situational awareness, the company’s end-to-end, comprehensive engagement support ensures sustainable operational effectiveness and full support across the entire product lifecycle.
MineWolf platforms have an extensive legacy of support for mine operations worldwide. MW370 was recently sent by the British government to Ukraine – the world’s most heavily mined nation – to create safe passage for civilians and save lives. The new evolution offers significantly enhanced capabilities for effective removal of AP and AT mines up to 15kg – which covers over 90% of the mines laid in the course of ‘normal’ warfare operations. Entirely uncrewed, MW370 NG incorporates real-time video streaming on a single screen and enables mine-clearing performance of up to 4,500m2 per hour. Operated via a mesh-capable remote-control system, the platform has an operational range of some 3,000m line-of-sight.
Pearson Engineering Chief Executive, Ian Bell, commented “The MineWolf 370 has a proven track record of life-saving capacity around the world. Uncrewed solutions like the MW370 Next Generation offer groundbreaking opportunities to preserve and protect the lives of our allies like never before.” Jason Riby, the company’s Director of Engineering, added: “Backed by extensive upgrades and innovative research and development, Pearson Engineering’s MineWolf 370 Next Generation reflects our commitment to protecting humanitarian and allied military forces with the safest technology.”
