Acme Worawat and ACT Warriors Deploy Demining Robots

A Civilian Initiative to Enhance Mine Clearance Operations

Mr. Worawat Narknawdee, a well-known businessman and investor, has made a significant announcement regarding his plans to collaborate with the ACT Warriors community in acquiring and donating a state-of-the-art mine clearance system for the Royal Thai Armed Forces. This initiative aims to support demining operations along the Thai-Cambodian border, focusing on reducing casualties caused by landmines that still pose a threat in several regions of Thailand.

The equipment in question is the 'DOK-ING MV-4 Remote Controlled Mine Clearance System' from Croatia, which is valued at over 100 million baht. The system is designed as a remotely operated robot capable of clearing landmines at a speed of 3-5 km/h. It can be controlled from a distance of up to 1,500 meters, making it an essential tool for safely navigating high-risk areas. The robot is also built to withstand explosions and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring a service life of 10-15 years. Its dimensions are well-suited to Thailand's geography, enabling continuous operation in challenging terrains.

Mr. Acme, as he is known, emphasized that this initiative is not about procuring weapons for warfare but rather about preventing casualties caused by landmines. He highlighted the importance of this project in restoring safe zones where Thais can live without fear. Despite the complexity involved in the procurement process, including legal compliance, coordination with the Croatian manufacturer, verification of its use for military donation, and obtaining import permits under the Arms Control Act, Mr. Acme and the ACT Warriors remain committed to delivering this critical equipment to the Royal Thai Army.

This effort underscores the growing role of civilian-led initiatives in supporting national defense and security. Mr. Acme’s involvement demonstrates how private individuals and communities can contribute meaningfully to public safety. His work with the ACT Warriors community reflects a strong sense of civic responsibility and a desire to make a tangible difference.
