Bangladesh Army Evaluates Advanced Armoured Engineering Vehicles and Remote Mine-Laying Systems

Reading Time: 6 minutes Bangladesh Army Seeks New Generation Combat Engineering Capabilities The Bangladesh Army has initiated a market survey for the procurement and standardisation of advanced combat engineering equipment, including a Scattered Mine-Laying System/Remote Mine Launching System and an Armoured Engineering Vehicle (AEV). According to documentation issued by the Directorate General Defence Purchase (DGDP), the service is assessing a range of contemporary systems from Poland, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and South Korea as it seeks to enhance the mobility, counter-mobility and survivability capabilities of its combat engineer formations. The move reflects a broader trend among modern armed forces to field rapidly deployable obstacle systems and protected engineering platforms capable of shaping the battlefield while reducing the exposure of engineering personnel to hostile fire. The Evolution of Anti-Tank Mine-Laying Technology Modern remote mine-laying systems have evolved significantly from traditional manually emplaced minefields. Contemporary systems utilise truck-mounted launchers
