The UK has tested a remote-controlled robotic mine plough designed to clear paths through mines safely. This concept draws inspiration from the Great Panjandrum, a WWII rocket-propelled wheel intended to breach Germany's Atlantic Wall. Developed by the British Admiralty's Department of Miscellaneous Weapons Development, the Panjandrum aimed to penetrate coastal defenses but faced significant engineering challenges, leading to its abandonment in 1944.
