Developed by MgM and tested successfully in a mine field in front of international and neutral observers: the armored MgM Rotar. It survives the explosion of mines in its rotating sieving drum without damages

The German mine sweeping organization MgM People Against Mines developed a new device for the clearing of land mines. It is now being deployed in the post war scenarios in Southern Africa with great success.
Picture 003
If you want to clear mines in the dangerous post war scenarios of Southern Africa you must deploy modern technology. Armored specialty vehicles with elaborate communication devices secure the survival of the staff of the German foundation People Against Mines.

For the children in Southern Africa the staff of the German foundation People Against Mines are idols: They copy the vehicles of the non profit organization with tin cans and play mine sweeping.

This dredge is a modified road construction vehicle. The driver’s cabin is heavily armored and protects even against anti-tank mines. It is being deployed for the rehabilitation of roads and the subsequent quality control. Through the soil mounds at the side of the strip the cleared part of the road is being marked at the same time.

Heavily armored road construction vehicles play an important conceptual role for the German mine sweeping organization MgM. Without danger for the driver - the cabin can withstand the explosion of an anti-tank mine - they help tremendously with the rehabilitation of mine infested infrastructures
Picture 007
The staff of the German mine sweeping organization MgM posses a well equipped fleet of vehicles. Mobility is key for survival in the dangerous areas of the former civil wars.

Mine detection dogs are an important link in the chain of events of a MgM mine sweeping operation. Requirements for success are continuos and thorough training of both dogs and guards.
Picture 009
Only thoroughly trained explosive detection dogs are being deployed in the mine sweeping projects of MgM. The German organization therefore maintains two of its own training camps in Southern Africa.

The work with metal detectors is at the center of all MgM mine sweeping operations. Highest concentration and a steady hand are essential. Every 30 minutes the two mine sweepers in a team take turns.

Land mines terrorize entire countries even when the war is long over. Until someone digs them up and deactivates them. The foundation People Against Mines e.V. has been doing this for many years.
Picture 012
Land mines are amongst the greatest pest of the present. Every 30 minutes somewhere in the world someone steps on a mine. The German foundation People Against Mines takes the problem literally in its hands.
Picture 013
The experienced mine sweeper recognized through the acoustic signal of the metal detector the exact location of the suspected mine in the ground. Even if it is only an empty shot gun shell or a beer cap he has to investigate the suspect device

In many parts of the mine infested areas of the world the future of the next generation depends on the success of international mine sweeping projects. Here MgM, the German mine sweeping organization developed a good reputation through its humanitarian work.

The moment MgM opens the roads cleared of mines, people start their journeys home. 80,000 refugees so far could leave behind the misery of their camps due to the work of the non profit organization.

Children in Southern African countries endangered by mines copy the vehicles of the non profit organization MgM out of tin cans and play mine sweeping.

A clear sign: Nobody will voluntarily get close to this car wreck at the edge of an Angolan jungle strip. Chances are high for a mine or another explosive trap.
Picture 019
In every country and in every language this sign is understood …
