Surrogate Instrumented Mine: An Engineering Tool to Optimize, Verify, and Characterize Counter Mine Equipment.

摘要

The most common threat mines are pressure fused. In order to neutralize these mines, the army has developed many systems including: plows, flails, line charges, rollers, and various other innovations. These systems rely on placing large amounts of pressure in front of a vehicle to detonate the mine before the mine is under the vehicle. The pressure needed to detonate these AT or AP mines is variable to soil type, buried depth, age and mine type among other variables.
