Panther II makes minefield clearing safer
November 2004
FORWARD OPERATING BASE REMAGEN, TIKRIT, Iraq – Recent technological
advances have enabled the Army to protect its most valuable asset,
the lives of its Soldiers.
The M1 Abrams Panther II is a 43-ton remote controlled
vehicle designed to help clear minefields. A specially modified
M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank stripped of its turret and installed
with Omnitech’s Standardized Teleoperation System and mine
rollers allows this vehicle to mine-proof and clear hazardous
area. The vehicle is also equipped with a magnetic “dog
bone,” which is designed to set off magnetic mines and tilt
rods.
The Panther
can be driven manually with two Soldiers operating the vehicle
as driver and Tank Commander. The driver sits in the traditional
tank driver position, the TC, who guides the driver, sits inside
the crew compartment, which originally housed the turret.
