Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0295326A1] The invention relates to a method and device for the pyrotechnic clearance of an area containing explosive charges, especially a mine field. Known for this purpose are clearing ladders (34) which trip mines in the region of the mine field covered by them. But these have the disadvantage that the length of the mine-clearing ladder is limited, since relatively long mine-clearing ladders can hardly be transported by hand. The invention is concerned with providing a longer clearing ladder (34) and a device and method for handling this. According to the invention, the clearing ladder (34) is divided into two clearing-ladder portions (32, 33) which are accommodated in different transport containers (30, 31). These can be transported separately and can easily be connected to one another to complete the clearing ladder (34). The method according to the invention and the device with the further-developed clearing ladder (34) are especially suitable for clearing mine fields. <IMAGE>
