Land-mine exposure method - involves washing mines free of soil using water jet

摘要

The land-mine exposure method washes the mines free using a jet of water. They can be located by a detector before washing, sensors being pulled through the ground to do this, and also to thrust them aside. An armoured vehicle can be used, having a guide head (32) lifted, lowered and traversed by a linkage (22). A water jet nozzle (34) and/or a gun (36) are mounted on the head. USE/ADVANTAGE - Rapid clearance of paths through minefields.
