CYKLON IN THE FIELD

Vegetation? No problem!

Unlike our HeroRATs, Cyklon can work in areas of dense vegetation which means there's no need to remove established trees, shrubs, flowers and grassland.

Strong Bond

Cyklon and his handler Sok Vicheth have a strong bond developed right from the start. Together, they make the ideal team to detect landmines hidden within the soil.

Not All Work

During working hours, Cyklon benefits from regular rest in the shade and lots of fresh water. When he's not working, he receives lots of attention and playtime.
