I've seen this vehicle on television once, it is detecting and destroying mines. It is called the Aardvark

Aardvark is part of the name of this monster, and it does destroy mines.  I wish I could find that television show, must have been interesting.

LOCKED for Mekubb.  Can you find the complete name of the vehicle?

Aardvark Mine Clearing Vehicle should be the full name. I don't remember in which show it was present, could be Top Gear or so.  Just found a video on You Tube, great stuff : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXAX189ybys

On the Aardvark website the type with the flail is called the AMCS, or Aardvark Landmine Clearance Flail. On their website there are a bunch of great videos of this monster in action

I'm looking for another 4-letter acronym for the name.  Military organizations love acronyms.

Still LOCKED

I suppose you are not looking for AMCS because I already mentioned that. SMCS then ?

Post by: sixtee5cuda on March 08, 2013, 07:42:25 AM
Neither of those.  F for Flail is one of the letters.

Aardvark Joint Service Flail Unit (JSFU)

The point goes to Mekubb

This thread raises an interesting question:  "Is the correct name for a car the one given by the manufacturer or one given by the customer?"
This thread illustrates the dilemma very effectively.

Quite, but what about those vehicles build as X and then sold by somebody as Y? It is not the customer that gives the name in this case.
