Route Clearance Roller – Basic
Vehicle Protection and Route Verification
The Basic Route Clearance Roller was designed as a heavy weight roller capable of hitting anti-tank targets in a route clearance and vehicle protection mission. The roller utilizes similar construction techniques pioneered from earlier Area Clearance Roller designs which allow for easy maintenance and simple assembly. As with all HRI rollers, the Basic Route Clearance Roller is able to be tuned to target specific threats. By adding or removing small ballast plates, the roller can target light weight trigger IEDs or larger Anti-Tank mines.
