ABSTRACT:
A mine disposal device comprises an automatically guided tractor with a stabilizer provided in front of the tractor. The stabilizer has a plurality of soil pulverizing rotor disks, and a solid semi-cylindrical shield covering the upper half of the rotor disks. Front and rear movable skirts are rotatably attached the shield. A sled, touching the surface of the land, is attached to the shield and keeps constant the depth of soil pulverized by the rotor disks. The front and rear movable skirts are opened, forward and backward, by the blasts of the antipersonnel mines. The blast force works against the resilient forces of front and rear shock absorbers. Each of the front and rear movable skirts is bent such that a top portion faces outside of the shield.
