A Preliminary Report of the Technical Objectives and Anticipated Functional Requirements of the Nonexpendable Mine Roller System

摘要

The program objective is to furnish all the engineering technology and facilities necessary to design, fabricate, test, and deliver components for the development of a nonexpendable vehicle mine clearing roller. It is to incorporate a command wire cutter. The roller will be used for assault mine field breaching and route clearing operations and is designed to detonate single impulse, pressure-activated mines buried under soil, sand, or water up to 6 inches deep. A command wire cutter will be developed as an integral part of the Vehicle Mine Clearing Roller. (Author)
