Based on the UTTC (Ukrainian Training and Testing Complex).

A large-scale field exhibition "The Future of Demining: Ukraine in Action" was held, bringing together over 200 participants - humanitarian demining operators, Ukrainian and international equipment manufacturers, innovators, government officials, farmers and partners. Equipment demonstrations: in action - modern solutions.

Over the course of two days, participants had the opportunity to see 12 examples of equipment in operation, including from leading companies:

"GERMINA URCM-3000" - Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Plant (KZVV), Global Clearance Solutions Ukraine, DOK-ING, Rovertech, Kharkiv Special Machine Plant, TDS Plant - Ukrainian manufacturers who worthily presented national engineering developments.

More than 20 Ukrainian companies also presented their innovative solutions.

The conditions are as close to real as possible.

This was not just a demonstration — it was a real test. The vehicles passed through an obstacle course with mock-ups of explosive devices, simulating real-life humanitarian demining scenarios, including:

• practicing actions in conditions of potential threat;

• traversing difficult terrain;

• demonstration of results on different types of soils and vegetation.

Four samples of the equipment successfully passed the test track, confirming their effectiveness and reliability.

The developers received invaluable practical feedback and were able to improve their solutions.

Our attention was particularly drawn to Germina, a remotely controlled vehicle for humanitarian demining, developed taking into account combat experience and the specifics of Ukrainian territories.
