ABSTRACT:
A land-mine search-and-removal device mounted on a vehicle, especially a military tank. A framework (1) can be attached to the front of the vehicle (KP) by a coupling (2 & 2.1). Several sensors (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, & 3.4) designed to detect electrically conductive objects (M) are distributed along the front, in the direction (F) of travel, of the frame to a prescribed extent at least the width of the vehicle, A carriage (5) is driven back and forth and stopped at any point along rails (4) extending athwart the vehicle and behind the sensors, A hunting detector (6) is mounted on the carriage and precisely detects the type and position of any object sensed by the sensors, A moving pickup (8) is mounted on the carriage, picking up explosive or hollow charges (13 & 14), and depositing them in a precise position on the ground, A magazine (9) is mounted on the carriage or framework and accommodates the explosive or hollow charges equipped with detonators, An electrical operating and processing system is provided for the sensors, the carriage-driving mechanism, the detector, the pickup, and the detonators.
