Explosives - disposal Demine Web Site This web site is provided by the Society for Counter-Ordnance Technology (SCOT), which promotes technology, communication and research into humanitarian demining and countering mines and unexploded ordnance. It provides information on conferences and symposia on international mine warfare and mine countermeasures technologies and links to full text presentations and papers given at the events, including the International Symposia on Technology and the Mine Problem. The site also provides access to the Mine Lines Newsletter. Survey of Mine Clearance Technology This report was written by J.A. Craib and published by the United Nations University in September 1994. The report outlines mine detection and clearance equipment and the potential of new technologies to improve demining and unexploded explosive ordnance disposal equipment. The report provides a brief analysis of mine types including anti tank mines, anti personnel mines, submunitions and munitions. It then goes on to provide an overview of current mine detection technologies and the most promising technologies including infra red or thermal imaging, visible spectrum photography, ground penetrating radar and biosensors. It then looks at current hand and mechanical mine clearance technolgies such as ploughs, rollers and sifting, and possible technological advances including vibrating rollers and high power microwaves. There is also a brief section on the possible application of robotics or remotely piloted vehicles. |
