Abstract

Der Erfindung schlägt vor, am Minensuch- und Räumsystem (100), dass ein oder auch zwei Trägerfahrzeuge (1, 10,11) aufweisen kann, eine Vorauslöseeinrichtung (2) zur Auslösung der an bzw. nahe der Oberfläche befindlichen Minen vorzusehen und eine Minensensorik (3) zu verwenden, die unterschiedliche physikalische Effekte ausnutzend die unterhalb der Oberfläche befindlichen Minen eindeutig als Minen identifiziert und lokalisiert. Über ein Zusatzflail (7), welches vorzugsweise mit der Vorauslöseeinrichtung (2) in funktionalem Zusammenwirken steht, werden diese georteten Minen dann zur Auslösung gebracht.

The invention proposes to provide on the mine detection and clearing system (100), which may have one or two carrier vehicles (1, 10, 11), a pre-release device (2) for triggering the mines located on or near the surface and a mine sensor system (3) to use the different physical effects, the mines located below the surface clearly identified and localized as mines. These located mines are then triggered by an additional flail (7), which preferably interacts with the pre-release device (2).
