MEMATT is an unmanned, remote-controlled mine clearance vehicle developed by the Turkish defence company ASFAT.
The machine's design, prototyping, and production took 14 months before it was ready for service with the Turkish Armed Forces. The MEMATT is explosion resistant, moves quickly, is considered reliable, and has a lesser risk of loss of life during operation compared to previous technology. [1] The MEMATT achieved over a 95% success rate in mine tests conducted in Turkey and passed all required tests in Azerbaijan. [2]
The MEMATT is covered with Armox 500T, the world's toughest guard plate [3] is mine-resistant and can be remotely controlled from a distance of 500 m (1,600 ft). The equipment can move at a speed of 4 km/h (1.1 m/s), descend to a depth of 25 centimetres and clear a 1-kilometer-long, 1.7-meter-wide area of mines within an hour. [4] It has a wireless system that allows viewing of cameras and video recordings as well as displaying vehicle information and real-time HD image quality. It also possesses attachment sensors on board that automatically detect the digging depth in order to prevent damage to the attachment. [5]
Users of the MEMATT system:
Turkey 
Azerbaijan: 20 operational. [2] [6] used to remove mines in Karabakh region
Togo: 2 units.
Burkina Faso: 2 units [7] 
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), also known as a combat drone, colloquially shortened as drone or battlefield UAV, is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is used for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance and carries aircraft ordnance such as missiles, ATGMs, and/or bombs in hardpoints for drone strikes. These drones are usually under real-time human control, with varying levels of autonomy. Unlike unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance aerial vehicles, UCAVs are used for both drone strikes and battlefield intelligence.
