What name does this vehicle possess, and what does it do?

[sixtee5cuda]

Up!

Do the Experts know what this is?

[mekubb]

I've seen this vehicle on television once, it is detecting and destroying mines. It is called the Aardvark

[sixtee5cuda]

Aardvark is part of the name of this monster, and it does destroy mines.  I wish I could find that television show, must have been interesting.

LOCKED for Mekubb.  Can you find the complete name of the vehicle?

[mekubb]

Aardvark Mine Clearing Vehicle should be the full name. I don't remember in which show it was present, could be Top Gear or so.  Just found a video on You Tube, great stuff : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXAX189ybys

Great video.  "Flail" is part of the complete name

Still LOCKED for Mekubb

[mekubb]

On the Aardvark website the type with the flail is called the AMCS, or Aardvark Landmine Clearance Flail. On their website there are a bunch of great videos of this monster in action

[sixtee5cuda]

I'm looking for another 4-letter acronym for the name.  Military organizations love acronyms.

Still LOCKED

[mekubb]

I suppose you are not looking for AMCS because I already mentioned that. SMCS then ?

[sixtee5cuda]

Neither of those.  F for Flail is one of the letters.

[mekubb]

JSFU ?

Aardvark Joint Service Flail Unit (JSFU)

The point goes to Mekubb

This thread raises an interesting question:  "Is the correct name for a car the one given by the manufacturer or one given by the customer?"
This thread illustrates the dilemma very effectively.

[DeAutogids]

Quite, but what about those vehicles build as X and then sold by somebody as Y? It is not the customer that gives the name in this case.
