Intelligent mine devices and method for operating same

Abstract

An intelligent mine device includes a detection unit configured to detect an approach of a target object. The device includes an analysis processing unit configured to radio-communicate with the target object to perform identification of friend or foe against the target object. The device a blasting unit configured to blast the intelligent mine device when the analysis processing unit identifies the target object as the foe.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0097128, filed on Sep. 3, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a mine device, and more particularly, to intelligent mine devices capable of identifying friend or foe and blasting on a group basis and a method operating the same.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Typical mines do not have a capability to identify target objects such as enemies, tanks and the like and provide only the functionality of blasting in an individual position unit. Thus, even though a lot of target objects access at once, the mines is blasted against a specific target object only and thus there are many cases where an intended purpose of the mines cannot be achieved effectively.[0004]In addition, until now, in relation to the placing and arming of mines and the removal of mines, information about buried points...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0026]As mentioned above, the intelligent mine devices of the embodiments of the present invention detects the approach of the target objects based on the Earth's magnetic field and performs a radio communication with the target objects to carry out the identification of friend or foe. Therefore, it is possible to detect the target objects within a sensing range even without a direct contact with the mine devices and to reduce the senseless casualties.

[0027]Further, the intelligent mine devices of the embodiment of the present invention provides continuous or simultaneous blasting capability depending on ally identification, which ensures to remove the target objects efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

Typical mines do not have a capability to identify target objects such as enemies, tanks and the like and provide only the functionality of blasting in an individual position unit.

Thus, even though a lot of target objects access at once, the mines is blasted against a specific target object only and thus there are many cases where an intended purpose of the mines cannot be achieved effectively.

Therefore, there is the difficulty in terms of efficient and systematic management of the mines, and furthermore the removal of the mines by the human may often bring a loss of life.
