Bigfoot and Mine Worm: Revolutionizing Land Mine Disposal in Bosnia

The Bigfoot system and its Mine Worm machine are being tested in Bosnia's minefields. These machines are proving to be safer, faster, and more efficient than traditional manual mine clearance methods. The Bigfoot machine, with its explosion-resistant feet, can clear up to 10,000 square meters a day, significantly outperforming manual methods. Bosnia has over 18,000 mapped minefields, with many more unmapped, posing a significant challenge to manual clearance methods.
