Abstract

This chapter provides insight in general scale of mine threats worldwide together with efforts of the counter-mine community for their removal. It covers state-of-the-art available demining technology, from the aspect of demining safety and effectiveness based on demining machine use. Efficiency comparison between deminers, dogs and machines is provided, and it is confirmed that demining mechanization through detectors and machines assures greatest effect, safety and cost reduction. On grounds of machine and specific anti-mine equipment effectiveness, demining mechanization brings in a significant difference compared to deminer’s manual demining. That is deducted through experience in demining machine usage. Key features of machine mine destruction get explained. Also demining machines get classified in several categories, light, medium and heavy, as well as per their adequate application. Likewise, auxiliary demining machines, demining excavators with long reach arms and types of working tools, flails, tillers and vegetation cutters are described.

Nächstes Kapitel Mechanics of Machine Demining

Organised humanitarian mine clearance of the mine contaminated areas of the Republic of Croatia began with the foundation of the Croatian Mine Action Centre (CROMAC) in 1998. In that period noticeable advances in the theory and practice of machine demining have been achieved. Machine demining is becoming increasingly present in the mine clearance activities. Demining machines have contributed to higher performance, improved safety and quality of work as well as lower price of demining. This is the result of understanding their role and development for the actual demining conditions. Thus, in 2003, the percentage of machine demining amounted to 85 % of the treated area. Machine demining considers the prime role of machines, upon which other detection methods for mine clearance control can be used.
