In a rapid-response operation just outside Copenhagen, Denmark, Steer was deployed to assist the Danish Armed Forces with the clearance of unexploded ordnance (UXO) and hazardous remnants of war at an active military training ground. The mission required precision, speed, and complete trust—qualities that made Steer the obvious partner.
When the Danish military identified a need to safely clear blind rounds and buried explosives from a long-used shooting range, there were no local teams available with the capacity or equipment to handle the job. The request for assistance came through Norwegian defense channels and directly involved EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) personnel familiar with Steer’s proven expertise in high-risk remediation.
Time was critical. Within a short window, Steer mobilized:
Both were transported by ferry from Oslo to Denmark, and then driven to the military site. The command vehicle provided real-time video feeds and joystick-based remote controls—ensuring the operator remained at a safe distance while working in potentially unstable ground.
With close coordination between Norwegian and Danish defense units, Steer commenced a structured, careful excavation of the site. Suspect zones were cleared one layer at a time, with every movement monitored and logged. The focus: maximum safety, minimal disturbance, and total UXO removal.
Despite the challenging conditions and short notice, the work was carried out without any incidents, injuries, or delays.
This cross-border UXO clearance operation shows why Steer is increasingly relied upon by military, industrial, and governmental partners across Europe. By combining remote-control machinery, on-site expertise, and a strong safety culture, Steer ensures that even the most sensitive explosive clearance tasks are handled with professionalism and care.
From a shooting range in Denmark to former military zones across Scandinavia, Steer continues to stand for safe solutions in dangerous environments.
