The BMR-3MA route clearance vehicle is used to sweep homing horizontal action mines with acoustic and infrared detonators; destroy wire lines of remote cable control of detonators; make passages in minefields laid out on roads, on terrain and in populated areas, including on roads covered with pavement. The vehicle has been developed on the basis of the T-90A tank. It is equipped with a heavy TMT-S roller sweep with inserted devices.

A two-member crew and three engineers stay in a cabin. The crew and the engineers can work in a closed vehicle for two days. The RCV has filters and a ventilation valve; a thermo-electric microclimatic installation; the stocks of food and water for two days; a device for boiling water and warming food and other life-supporting facilities. To make the RCV more protected against high-explosive grenades and guided anti-tank rockets the vehicle’s body is equipped with dynamic protection and the launchers of smoke grenade dischargers. The weapons comprise a 12.7-mm remote controlled anti-aircraft machine-gun capable of waging precision fire at air and ground targets at ranges of up to 2,000 meters.
