MINE CLEARING VEHICLE INTENDED IN PARTICULAR FOR ANTI-PERSONNEL MINES

摘要

The invention relates to a mine clearing vehicle which can be used in particular, but not exclusively, to destroy anti-personnel mines by triggering the mine firing system. The inventive vehicle includes at least one running gear comprising a drum formed by a set of floating disks (D) which can be made, for example, of steel, which are positioned substantially coaxially side by side and which can move radially in relation to one another. Each of said disks (D) includes a central hole (30) through which rotary drive means (31) pass, wherein said drive means extend axially from one end of the drum to the other and are coupled to a power unit. In addition, the aforementioned drive means (31) are provided with abutment surfaces which engage with abutment surfaces provided on the disks (D) at the above-mentioned holes (30), such that the drive means (31) rotate each of the disks (D) while providing same with a degree of radial freedom in relation to the axis of the rotary drive means (31).
