The Meerkat is the lead vehicle in the Interim Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector IVMMD system, which evolved from a system known as Chubby. The system is manufactured by the Rolling Stock Division (RSD) of DCD-Dorbyl, a mechanical engineering conglomerate in South Africa. The Meerkat resembles a cross between a dune buggy and a grader, with a pair of horizontally-mounted rectangular panels, one each side, where the grader's blade would be. The Meerkat is intended only to detect land mines - the related Husky and its trailers are intended to dispose of detected mines.
