As the head of the research institute explained, the Prokhod engineer robot was developed by order of the Ministry of Defense. It is an optionally manned mine clearing system designed by VNII Signal (part of the Rostec conglomerate). The system includes a robotic BMR-3MA tracked mine clearing vehicle and a Kamaz-based command vehicle. Unlike the Uran-6 system, it is able to withstand the explosion of anti-tank mines. As reported in July, the system is located in the zone of the North-East Military District, where it participates in the demining of land in Donbas.

Prokhod-1 is capable of using modern roller mine trawls KMT-7 and KMT-8. The system creates a 4.5-meter wide passage in a minefield. It is also equipped with cutters that cut the wires of remotely controlled land mines and an electronic jamming system for radio-controlled land mines.

So far, there has been no official announcement about the adoption of the system by the Russian army.
