This study was designed to provide tentative an-swers to a number of questions:(1)If the length of the tripwire is increased will the probability of its detection be similarly increased? (2) Is there any op¬timum height for tripwire emplacement? (3)Just how effective are tripwires in terms of the enemy's ability to visually detect the tripwire and subsequently neutralize the mine? (4) Does practice or training in detection of tripwires in¬crease the soldier's ability to breach a minefield? (5) What effect does "good" or "bad" emplacement of the mine have on its effectiveness?nThe results of this study can be used for (1) design of new weapons, (2) decisions regarding existing weapons, and (3) recommendations to the field on the most effective use of anti-personnel devices. In addition they may influence certain aspects of current tacticalnbattle doctrine.
