An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The Meerkat is the lead vehicle in the Interim Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector IVMMD system, which evolved from a system known as Chubby. The system is manufactured by the Rolling Stock Division (RSD) of DCD-Dorbyl, a mechanical engineering conglomerate in South Africa. The Meerkat resembles a cross between a dune buggy and a grader, with a pair of horizontally-mounted rectangular panels, one each side, where the grader's blade would be. The Meerkat is intended only to detect land mines - the related Husky and its trailers are intended to dispose of detected mines.

  • The Meerkat is the lead vehicle in the Interim Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector IVMMD system, which evolved from a system known as Chubby. The system is manufactured by the Rolling Stock Division (RSD) of DCD-Dorbyl, a mechanical engineering conglomerate in South Africa. The Meerkat resembles a cross between a dune buggy and a grader, with a pair of horizontally-mounted rectangular panels, one each side, where the grader's blade would be. The Meerkat is intended only to detect land mines - the related Husky and its trailers are intended to dispose of detected mines. With its tire pressures lowered, the Meerkat produces a relatively low pressure on the ground below the tires, enabling it to pass over pressure-sensitive mines designed to destroy heavy vehicles. Even if it detonates a mine, the floor of the driver's cabin is armored and the structural components are designed to be quickly replaced.
