Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2133652A2] A steerable mine detonation apparatus is adapted to be pushed by a steered vehicle (10). The apparatus comprises a frame (4) and at least two spaced apart ground engaging members (1-3) adapted to support the apparatus and adapted to exert a force on mines in the apparatus' path of sufficient to cause detonation thereof. At least one ground engaging member (1-3) is steerable, and at least one steerable ground engaging member (1-3) is attached to the frame (4) so as to pivot with respect thereto about a substantially vertical axis and is connected to a steering linkage, the apparatus further comprising a steering mechanism operatively connected to the steering linkage and, in use, to the pushing vehicle. An actuator (5,31) adapted to vary the configuration of the steering mechanism, is controlled to provide that, in use, the turning radius of at least a part of the innermost ground engaging member is less than or equal to the a turning radius of the innermost wheel of the pushing vehicle, and the turning radius of at least a part of the outermost ground engaging member is greater than or equal to the a turning radius of the outermost wheel of the pushing vehicle.
