Developed by FNSS as its first 8x8 engineering vehicle clears surface laid mines and threats found within the path of the full width of the vehicle, from roads, tracks and rough terrain to produce a cleared route for the infantry and follow-on vehicles. The PARS III 8x8 Engineering Vehicle can effectively fulfil a wide range of missions owing to its ability to have equipment and hardware rapidly mounted and dismounted from its chassis. With different equipment and hardware equipped, the vehicle can execute the following types of missions, aimed at enhancing the mobility and operational capabilities of friendly forces and units:

- Removal of obstacles/barriers, clearing paths, maintenance of roads used in combat;
- Clearing paths through minefields to ensure the continued movement of friendly units;
- Construction of communication and defence posts, taking measures against surveillance (concealment), construction of mock-up facilities, and enemy deception to increase the survivability of units;
- Preventing the advance of enemy units by building obstacles.
