The system can search for explosive devices within a radius of 10m without moving and scan for objects buried up to 50cm below the surface with its advanced sensor technology.
KARS also features a robot arm that is extendable to 14m to perform certain crucial functions and a special camera that provides the user with a stereoscopic spatial perspective, enabling swift identification of buried objects.
The robot arm can carry a payload of 450kg, and recover and evacuate wounded personnel in open terrain, vehicles or buildings.
Other features of KARS include a retractable, remote-controlled weapon station for self-defence, and other demining and crew protection capabilities.
