Turkish Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) wants to develop a new mine clearance vehicles using the Altay Tank's body. SSM invited companies to participate in the project with the Request for Information (RFI) issued on 16 January.

The project foresees the development of a vehicle which is capable of disassembling and detonating anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. Mine clearing vehicles are required to have a high-powered engine due to their working principle and to provide high protection.

A German Leopard tank configured for mine clearance can be seen in the picture. 

OTOKAR participated in the 2017 IDEF exhibiting the “asymmetric warfare” version of Altay developed for urban warfare.
