Magnetic Decoy Mine Activating
Devices
MBDA
|
Dedale magnetic decoy device can
activate magnetically fused mines at a safe distance from the
carrying vehicle. A battery of six Dedale decoys mounted in front of
the tank's maintain a safe arc up to three meters in front of the
vehicle. Magnetic signatures are pre-programmed into the Dedale
during mission planning, to ensure that the decoy is effective even
against the most sophisticated mined. Dedale is also used with other
mine clearing systems, including the EBG mine clearing tank.
Adeve is a lightweight magnetic decoy transmitting a vehicle's
magnetic signature at a distance of four meters ahead and to either
side of the vehicle. The system is based on the Demeter system and
can be activated or deactivated from the vehicle, and can be used on
light vehicles. |
