Abstract

A minefield breaching system is provided in which flexible tubing that is initially reeled on a reel or bobbin 12 is inflated by means of gases that form an explosive mixture and thereby is unreeled and extended to deploy it across a minefield. The reel or bobbin can also be inflatable, for example by means of air, enabling the tubing and bobbin to be stored, when uninflated, as a flat pack. If the bobbin of the pack is inflated and the end of the tubing is connected by separate supply pipes to, for example, separate gas cylinders 15 containing two gases that together form an explosive mixture, admitting the gases to the tubing will inflate the tubing and thereby propel the bobbin away across a minefield, more or less directionally in a straight line, after which the explosive hose so deployed can be detonated. A flash back trap 17 between the gas supply pipes and the inflatable tubing will protect the inflating apparatus and personnel in the event of inadvertent pre-detonation. <IMAGE>
