Mine Detection Destruction Robot
The Madoors USA KORKUT-1000 Mine Clearing Robot is a multi-functional tracked demining robotic system deployable in mine reconnaissance and area clearance operations to detect and remove explosive ordnance, anti-personnel mines, anti-tank mines, and unexploded ordnance — minimizing the risks caused by all categories of dangerous buried and surface objects without exposing demining personnel to direct mine detonation hazard. Manufactured by Madoors Defence Systems and prepared for international export, the KORKUT-1000 consists of a lightweight 6-ton tracked demining robot, remote control unit, and payload modules — transportable by road, sea, and air — with four video cameras providing 360-degree field-of-view coverage transmitted in real time to the remote control system.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA KORKUT-1000 is built on a tracked platform providing the ground mobility required for operation across the full range of terrain conditions encountered in post-conflict demining operations — soft soil, hard-packed earth, vegetation, and rough terrain. Tracked mobility ensures reliable traction and ground contact in the wet, waterlogged, and unstable ground conditions of mined areas where wheeled platforms lose traction and ground clearance.
Physical dimensions: length 4 meters, width 2 meters, height 1.5 meters, weight approximately 6 tons, clearing track width 1.72 meters. The 1.72-meter clearing width provides the operational lane width required for systematic area clearance — each pass of the KORKUT-1000 clears a 1.72-meter-wide strip, with adjacent passes creating a fully cleared area without uncleared gaps between lanes.
The four video cameras fitted atop the robot provide the operator with 360-degree field-of-view coverage of the operating area — front, rear, and both sides simultaneously — transmitted in real time to the remote control system. This comprehensive 360-degree situational awareness eliminates the blind spots that prevent the operator from detecting approaching hazards, monitoring clearance progress, and identifying suspicious objects in all directions from the robot's position.
The system is modular in payload — different payload modules adapt the KORKUT-1000 for different demining mission types including reconnaissance, detection, clearance, and ordnance destruction. The remote control unit allows the operator to control all robot functions and payload operations from a safe distance — completely eliminating operator exposure to mine detonation during all operational phases.
KEY FEATURES
Tracked Platform — All-Terrain Demining Mobility
The tracked platform provides reliable mobility across all terrain types encountered in post-conflict demining environments — including the soft, disturbed soil of recently mined areas, the vegetation-covered ground of agricultural mined land, and the rough terrain of military demining sites where wheeled vehicles lose traction. Tracked mobility also distributes the 6-ton robot weight over a larger ground contact area — reducing ground pressure and minimizing the risk of mine detonation under the platform from the robot's own weight on anti-tank pressure mines.
360-Degree Video Coverage — Real-Time Remote Situational Awareness
The four-camera 360-degree coverage system provides the operator with complete situational awareness of the robot's operating environment from the remote control position — the operator can monitor the demining progress, detect new hazards, guide the robot precisely through the clearance pattern, and respond to unexpected obstacles and ordnance encounters in all directions simultaneously. Real-time transmission eliminates the time lag between robot action and operator observation that would prevent precise control in the dynamic demining environment.
Anti-Personnel & Anti-Tank Mine Clearance
The KORKUT-1000 addresses both primary mine categories — anti-personnel mines, which are designed to injure or kill individual soldiers and civilians, and anti-tank mines, which are designed to disable or destroy armored vehicles. Both mine types require different detection and clearance approaches, and the KORKUT-1000's payload modularity allows the system to be equipped for the specific mine type and mixture encountered at each clearance site.
Unexploded Ordnance & Dangerous Object Removal
Beyond mines, the KORKUT-1000 detects and removes unexploded ordnance — artillery shells, bombs, rockets, and grenades that failed to detonate on impact — and other dangerous objects encountered in post-conflict clearance operations. UXO represents a significant proportion of the dangerous objects encountered at post-conflict sites and requires the same careful detection and removal approach as laid mines.
Road, Sea & Air Transportable
The KORKUT-1000 is transportable by road, sea, and air — the 6-ton weight and 4 × 2 × 1.5-meter dimensions are within the transport envelope of standard military vehicle transporters, naval landing craft and transport vessels, and cargo aircraft. This multi-modal transport capability allows the KORKUT-1000 to be deployed to any demining operation globally — including island, coastal, and landlocked post-conflict areas — within the operational transport timeline of military and humanitarian demining missions.
Remote Control — Operator Safety at All Times
The complete remote control operation of the KORKUT-1000 eliminates operator exposure to mine detonation at every phase of the demining operation — approach to the mined area, mine detection, ordnance manipulation, and mine destruction. The operator controls all robot and payload functions from a safe distance outside the mined area, using the 360-degree real-time video system for all necessary situational information. This complete operator separation from the mined area is the primary safety benefit of robotic demining over manual demining by trained personnel.
1.72-Meter Clearing Width — Systematic Area Clearance
The 1.72-meter clearing width per pass provides a practical lane width for systematic area clearance — wide enough for efficient coverage of large mined areas without excessive pass count, while narrow enough for precise lane control in constrained clearance areas. Systematic lane-by-lane clearance using the 1.72-meter width provides the complete coverage required for certified area clearance — the clearance documentation records each lane position and pass to confirm that no area within the cleared zone has been missed.
Payload Modularity — Multi-Mission Adaptation
The modular payload system adapts the KORKUT-1000 for different demining mission types — reconnaissance payloads for mine field survey and hazard assessment, detection payloads for mine location and marking, clearance payloads for physical mine removal, and destruction payloads for in-place ordnance disposal. This modularity allows the same base platform to serve the complete demining operation sequence from initial reconnaissance through to final area certification.
International Export — ISAF Forum Participation
The KORKUT-1000 is prepared for international export and has participated in the ISAF — International Security Assistance Force — forum, confirming military and government operational assessment at the international defense and security procurement level. This international market preparation and forum participation demonstrates the system's readiness for procurement by military and government demining authorities worldwide.
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
Transport to Demining Area
The KORKUT-1000 is transported to the demining site by road transporter, sea vessel, or aircraft — selected based on the geographic access requirements of the specific deployment location.
Remote Control Unit Setup
The remote control unit is established at the safe operator position outside the confirmed mined area boundary. Real-time video from all four cameras is verified on the operator display. All payload systems are checked and confirmed operational.
Mine Reconnaissance Phase
The KORKUT-1000 enters the mined area under remote control, conducting a reconnaissance pass to identify the extent of the minefield, the mine types present, and the ground conditions for clearance planning. The 360-degree video system transmits all observations to the operator in real time.
Systematic Clearance Passes
The KORKUT-1000 conducts systematic clearance passes across the mined area in the 1.72-meter-wide lane pattern — detecting, marking, and removing or destroying mines and UXO in each lane before advancing to the adjacent lane. Lane position and clearance progress are recorded for the area certification documentation.
Ordnance Detection & Removal
Detected mines and UXO are addressed using the appropriate payload module — removal for transport to a safe disposal area, or in-place destruction where removal is not practical or safe.
Area Certification Documentation
The completed clearance area is documented with lane-by-lane pass records, ordnance discovery and disposal records, and video evidence of clearance — providing the certification documentation required by international mine action standards for land release and return to safe use.
