Remote-controlled machines for critical operations and logistics
Remote-controlled robotic solutions for defence, logistics and demining. Technology designed to operate from a distance, reduce human risk and ensure reliable performance in the most critical missions.
MDB’s field advantage
Every MDB machine is designed to operate where human intervention would be complex, risky or inefficient. Remote-controlled, transportable and reconfigurable systems, built to handle different missions with maximum operational continuity.
Reliability in extreme conditions
Designed to keep the operator at a safe distance, MDB machines can be remote-controlled up to 1 km away and deployed in scenarios where human access would be complex or dangerous. Compact, stable and highly manoeuvrable, they operate on difficult terrain, in confined spaces and on slopes up to 60°, ensuring control and continuity even in the most critical conditions. Their low profile and robust structure have been developed to withstand detonations from anti-personnel mines and similarly sized UXOs; they have also demonstrated survivability against anti-tank mine blasts, confirming their reliability for demining and EOD operations.
Multi-mission configuration
Thanks to interchangeable front-mounted tools, MDB machines can be quickly reconfigured according to the mission: from demining to material handling, from breaching tasks to operational logistics, through to ground preparation and vegetation management in military areas, barracks, operating bases and sensitive infrastructures. A single platform adapts to different scenarios, reducing intervention times, the number of machines required and operational complexity.
Rapid and operational transport
Lightweight design, reduced dimensions and dedicated lifting points make MDB machines easy to handle and transport across different operational scenarios: by land with trucks or trailers, by sea in standard 20-foot containers, and by air inside cargo aircraft or by helicopter using dedicated lifting points.
demining
technology
MDB demining solutions are designed to support clearance operations and mechanical ground preparation, from the neutralisation of anti-personnel mines and UXOs to route clearance, technical survey and EOD activities.
Thanks to dedicated tools such as flails, tillers, dozer blades and demining slashers, each machine can be configured according to the type of terrain, the required working depth and the mission objective: opening a breach, treating a contaminated area, removing obstacles or preparing the ground for subsequent use.
The low profile and reinforced structure have been developed to withstand detonations from anti-personnel mines and similarly sized unexploded ordnance. MDB machines have also demonstrated survivability against anti-tank mine blasts, confirming reliability and operational continuity in the most critical missions.
Logistics & Defence
Remote-controlled tracked forklift
Compact and easy-to-transport tracked forklift
Bidirectional, agile, and capable of working on slopes up to 60°.
Stable and compact mini loader for uneven terrain.
The use of dedicated tools makes it possible to operate on slopes of up to 60°, perimeters, hard-to-reach areas or potentially hazardous zones, while keeping the operator at a safe distance. In emergency contexts, the same platforms can support rescue and prevention activities, such as creating firebreaks, clearing access routes, removing vegetation and preparing operational corridors.
In this way, a single machine can shift from operational support to vegetation maintenance, offering versatility, rapid deployment and greater safety even in the most complex environments. The MDB catalogue highlights this multi-mission approach, with interchangeable front-mounted tools and applications including ground preparation, breaching, route clearance, EOD, logistics and critical infrastructure support.
