Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to create a new use for a combined powered vehicle to provide an improved combined compact mine detector, monitor and sweeper and containment apparatus in the most austere environments to run as conventional fuel driven power or using Green Technology. The vehicle is a battery based DC (direct current) motor drive recharged with a green energy module attached onto the forward sloping frame. It does not require daily fueling. The various elements that work together or individually in turn function together in an accumulating efficient manner reducing battery load requirements to operate the vehicle mechanical functions and computer systems. The components and assemblies are described as a prestage gas ejection detector, probe head boot, a strut probe assembly to impart a minimum of downward force, a timed pressure manifold for strut(s) and a strut energy dissipating canopy with chute. The vehicle is able to continuously perform motion detection and identification checking, through this simple but new effective data gathering technique.

Problems solved by technology

As the use of mines was common for numerous years, millions of mines are located and placing an equivalent number of humans at risk.
Many green energy powered vehicles exist but do not comprehensively address mines.
Several types of solar vehicles and minesweepers for detection and destruction of mines are known, each with a disadvantage.
Many solar powered vehicles exist but do not comprehensively address mines.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]As shown in FIG. 1, is a new use non-conventional sized battery powered, solar charged, unmanned vehicle that is sized so as to create a clearing path for people travelling on foot. The first apparatus 11 is the self-leveling debris deflector. The primary chassis contains a solar panel 14 with a high resistant and magnification surface 13. From FIG. 2, a vertical interior section view looking down with the four drive wheels 16 can be found. Inside the chassis 17 are normal DC drive motors 18, current controller means and the battery set 19.

[0033]The top of the chassis provides space for an optional bio-fuel power-plant that is not necessary but would provide added daily service hours that may be of advantage. In front of the chassis is an optical camera 12 for close in monitoring of operation of robotic arm that is stored in a recessed chamber 8 and for warning flag positioning. Above the chassis is a structural frame, which acts to support the green energy module 14. This pan...

Abstract

A system of Fragmentation Protection is disclosed having additional synergistic shockwave protection and reaction characteristics. The methods include applications to vehicles, chassis, frames and robots where a shell, containment guard or barrier system is needed. Force Protection for IED / Mine events and other ballistic threats, fragmentation and shockwaves is established further allowing for synchronized mobility within those austere environments.
