ABSTRACT:
Vehicle mountable apparatus for clearing mines located on a pavement surface including one or more tensioned elongate members, mounted onto a vehicle travelling along the pavement surface in a travel direction. The tensioned elongate members are operative to engage mines located on the pavement surface in the path of the vehicle so as to propel them away from the vehicle in a direction transverse to the travel direction, thereby clearing a safely traversable path along the pavement surface. Vehicle mountable apparatus for clearing mines buried in a mine field may also be provided in association with the apparatus for clearing mines located on a pavement surface.
