The rocket robot offers a cheap solution to battlefield
mineclearing options; the robot almost instantly blows up minefields
without placing human lives into the line of fire.

The rocket robot carries about 40 to 50 meters of explosive rope
coiled inside its dark green ammunition box. The explosive rope is
attached to two rockets on either side of the robot for launch over
minefields and other obstacles.

The remote control for the rocket robot includes a top-mounted
screen for viewing video feed from the robot's camera mast, standard RC
control system and another screen for receiving updates from the robot.
Remotely operating a MCLC launcher would allow engineers to clear
minefields quickly, while avoiding enemy fire by using robot proxies.

The USMC's Assault Breacher Vehicle fires large amounts of
explosive MCLC to clear battlefield mines, and is heavily armored to
boot. But at 72 tons, it has a huge logistical tail and a smaller MCLC
vehicle like the rocket robot is something that most company and platoon
leaders could reasonably expect to have.

The rocket robot deploys its rocket-pulled explosive lines; you
can see the white explosive rope behind the cloud of rocket smoke. While
the explosives are meant to quickly remove mines in battlefield
situations, they could be repurposed to blow up infantry inside
buildings or trenches.
