    A large tan/desert-camouflaged military vehicle, appearing to be a route clearance or mine-detection vehicle (likely a Buffalo or similar MRAP-class vehicle), is operating in an arid, flat desert environment. It is towing or operating a smaller robotic ground vehicle equipped with a mechanical arm or flail attachment that is disturbing the soil surface. The scene appears to be a route clearance or IED detection operation or training exercise.
