Path Defender™

Current methods of obstacle breach depend heavily on energetic redundancy to address unknown type and placement of land mines. The MICLIC, for example, employs excessive explosive in the form of an over-1700 pound line charge stretching approximately 100 meters, meaning the vast majority of explosive is not applied to threat obstacles. This excess in turn results in increased cost and logistical burden, heavy equipment requirements to move and deploy the system, explosive waste, collateral damage, and increased standoff for breachers, meaning longer distances and time to move through the overwatched breach point.

The Faltech solution applies the deliberate classification and mapping of point targets to determine specific charge type and placement by light unmanned systems to optimize efficiency, reduce human presence on target and open opportunity for application of unmanned swarms.
