Comprehensive solutions for safe mine clearance: VALLON and FORCEWARE
Effective mine clearance requires more than just precise detection – it needs a well-conceived total concept of cutting-edge technology and reliable protection. As a leading manufacturer of detection systems, VALLON, together with subsidiary FORCEWARE, offers complete solutions for humanitarian demining organizations worldwide.
The challenge: Combining safety and efficiency
Demining teams face complex tasks daily: They must locate explosive remnants in difficult terrain while maintaining the highest safety standards. Metal detectors or dual-sensor systems enable precise location – but without appropriate protective equipment, significant risk remains.
The solution lies in the perfect coordination of detection and protection. When detectors and protective equipment are optimally matched, both operator safety and clearance efficiency increase.
FORCEWARE: The perfect complement to VALLON detectors
As a VALLON subsidiary, FORCEWARE has been developing specialized protective equipment for mine clearance since 1999. The portfolio includes:
- BCB2 Protective boots: Completely metal-free for interference-free detection
- BCB2 Overboots: Additional protection for high-risk operations
- MPS2 Advanced mine protection suits: Modular protection to STANAG 2920
- MPA Protective aprons: Lightweight alternative for tropical deployments
- DV5 Demining visors: Proven full-face protection
The metal-free construction – for example in the BCB2 boots – enables interference-free operation with metal detectors. While conventional protective equipment with metal components can cause false alarms, the corresponding FORCEWARE products ensure precise measurements with full protection.
