The US M60 Panther Mine Clearing Vehicle

Omnitech Robotics International LLC developed the Standardized Teleoperation System AKA STS, a remotely controlled turret less M60 hull, equipped with a forward arm mounting a number of heavy rollers, which trigger the mines with the pressure exerted from the weight of the rollers. The 1st of the 60 vehicles converted to this model were delivered to US forces in Bosnia in early June 1996. The Panther has detonated Nearly 350 mines (varying types) and more than 500 miles of road have been cleared during Operation Joint Endeavour and Joint Guard.
