It is based on the EBG AEC, but was modified for a minefield breaching role and fitted with the Israeli CARPET launcher. It was adopted in 2008.
It fires rockets that explode on impact to detonate enemy mines that are buried or scattered on the ground.

It contains up to 20 rockets of 45kg each, including 20kg of explosive.
These rockets can be propelled between 65m and 160m away, to open a passage corridor about 10m wide and up to 100m long. This corridor then allows friendly units to cross safely, through a minefield!
