3results about "Land mines" patented technology

A method and a system (101) for monitoring land traffic in an area (103) are disclosed. The method comprises positioning one or more muon detectors (120, 121) in and / or below the area (103), measuring muon flux time series data by the one or more muon detectors (120, 121), processing the muon flux time series data to detect motion in the area (103), determining a motion detection result based on the processing, and causing detonation of one or more explosives based on the motion detection result. The method and system can be particularly applied in the defense sector where the system (101) acts as trigger system for detonating the explosives of a land mine or an anti-tank mine.

Dummy Mine The invention relates to a dummy mine (1) comprising a rigid upper face (2) one form of which corresponds to the form of an upper face of a real mine, characterized in that the dummy mine (1) further comprises: a foldable side wall (3a), integral with the rigid upper face (2); a lower wall (3b), integral with the foldable side wall (3a); and a closable opening (4) leading into a variable-volume interior space jointly defined by the rigid upper face (2), the foldable side wall (3a), and the lower wall (3b); the variable-volume interior space being configured to move the dummy mine (1) from a transport position, in which the interior space has a first volume, to a use position, in which the interior space has a second volume, larger than the first volume, and the dummy mine (1) has the shape of the real mine.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for advanced battlefield command and control systems (“ACCS”) are disclosed herein. The ACCS operates primarily by communication between closed-loop identification devices (“CIDD”) configured to be integrated into weapons systems and as wearable components on fatigues of soldiers. The CIDDs include sensors such as gyroscopes and GPS locators which send information to an area command and control (“AC2”) unit which sends commands to the CIDDs of the weapons systems. The information from the sensors is used to establish safe zones between CIDDs and determine whether a line of fire of the weapons system overlaps the safe zone. If the line of fire overlaps the safe zone, the CIDD is configured to prevent the weapons system from firing and alert an operator of the overlap.
