TrailerblazerCountermine Vehicle
The Trailblazer Countermine Vehicle is the worlds first compact and fully tracked MilitaryLoad Class (MLC) 30 armoured countermine vehicle. Its protective armour and mobility provide the SAF with a new mine clearing capability.
The Trailblazer combines speed and efficiency in clearing a safe route through minefields. The groundbreaking design of the Trailblazer allows for quick deployment and stowage using automated controls. Its three main systems: the Flail System (FS), Kinetics Route Indicator System (KRIS), and Hydro-Mechanical Continuous Variable Transmission (HMCVT), improvethe survivability and operational capability of the crew.
Flail System (FS)
The Trailblazer features the world's first integrated flail system (FS), which is a rotating chain that sweeps and detonates mines. Mounted on a modified BIONIX chassis, the mechanical FS dislocates, destroys and detonates mines. It is efficient, as the FS employs the use of flail hammers, spinning at high speed to overcome increasingly shock-resistant mines. It is capable of clearing a path of 100 meters in length and 3.2 meters in width in less than seven and a half minutes.
Kinetics Route Indicator System
The Kinetics Route Indicator System (KRIS) is an innovative lane marking system. Unlike other similar systems available in the market, this system produces a straight line, constant-width lane marking. It indicates the cleared route with javelin-like spikes that are pierced through the ground, enabling other vehicles to follow safely. The markers are fired by compressed air and each marker can even be embedded into hard tarmac.
Hydro-Mechanical Continuous Variable Transmission (HMCVT)
The HMCVT is the first state-of-the-art hydro-mechanical transmission in an MLC 30 armoured vehicle. It gives the Trailblazer two extreme modes of mobility - a slow speed of 0.25km/h and high speed of up to 50km/h. This is a significant improvement from conventional transmissions, which are unable to achieve both extremely low-speed and high-speed ranges. This 2-transmission-in-1 technology empowers the Trailblazer to meet both speed requirements, and keeps the overall design light and compact to meet the SAFs operational requirements for a fast and nimble design. In addition, this transmission can be easily operated with a wireless remote control.
In addition to the three main systems, the Trailblazer also features an armoured two-man cabin with cushioned crew seat, five-point seat belt and mine-resistant cabin mounting to reduce shock transmission to the crew during operation. This design gives its crew greater spatial awareness and increased protection from direct fire, debris and anti-tank mines.
To ensure that all performance and reliability specifications were fully met, the team from DSTA, The Army and ST Kinetics worked closely to devise an operational test and evaluation framework, as well as a blast qualification test methodology for a smooth transition of the Trailblazer to the operations and support phase.
The Trailblazer is the result of the successful ops-tech integration and collaboration between DSTA, The Army and ST Kinetics. With DSTA managing the overall design and development, The Army shaping operational requirements and ST Kinetics providing the detailed design, development and production, the team has delivered a new mine clearing capability to the SAF.

Airbus Counter-UAV SystemWith a projected one million drones sold during the holidays, the potential security risks to everything from military installations to energy plants to airports increased as well. Bearing that in mind, Airbus Defence and Space recently introduced its Counter-UAV System as a way to detect potential UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) threats from a distance of between 5 and 10 km (3 and 6 miles) and bring them down with electronic countermeasures.
The system uses a combination of radars, infrared cameras and direction finders to identify drones and determine their threat potential. A human operator compares the data from the system to a threat library and realtime analysis of control signals, to determine whether or not to jam the signal and interrupt the link between the drone and its pilot and/or its navigation system. A direction finder within the system can then be used to detect the location of the pilot for apprehension.
The company's Smart Responsive Jamming Technology ensures that only the signals used to operate the drone are jammed while other nearby frequencies remain unaffected and operational. The jamming technology is also designed to allow the user to both identify the UAV and initiate a controlled takeover if necessary.
