BMR-3MS is developed on the T-90S platform and designed for leading friendly vehicles across minefields and breaching passages in them while clearing basic types of anti-tank, anti-track and bottom mines fitted with mechanical impact and magnetic proximity fuses.

BMR-3MS can be equipped with the KMT-7 track-wide combined roller-and-blade sweeper or with the TMT-S engineering tank mine sweeper. The BMR-3MS's equipment set includes manual mine-clearing equipment for onboard combat engineers.

The Mine Clearing Vehicle is equipped with ERA for better protection and a 12.7mm KORD Heavy Machine Gun. Survivability of the crew is augmented by the NBC protection system, fire-fighting equipment and modern communication devices.
