Abstract

See full text

A delivery system (20) for a warhead (3) for neutralization of mines, having an orientation device. The fragmentation warhead (3) is triggered over a visible mine or, over the position of a mine that is optically marked and/or the coordinates of which are known. The triggering of warhead (3) destroys a mine up to a depth of 30 centimeters below the surface. A throwing system with controllable spring tension energy is employed, which has, when compared with a conventional mortar, a higher quality of reproducibility in its starting speed, smaller starting mistakes by means of precise roller bearing guides (6) during the acceleration phase, and temperature independence due to the measuring the energy of the springs (1) during the tensioning process by electric motors. Three microreaction drive mechanisms (15) are provided to correct the flight path, along with a sensor (14) that measures flight path deviation.
