On-Board Anti-Magnetic
Mine Actuating System
IAI / RAMTA
|
IAI/Ramta
developed several versions of Magnetic Mine Actuating Systems which
are currently operational with several armies worldwide. In 2003 the
company tested the third generation of the On-Board Anti-Magnetic
Mine Actuating System went through a demonstration and testing by
the Israeli Army, and the US Naval Surface Warfare Center. The
system detonates magnetic influenced anti-tank mines at varying
distances outside the 'kill zone' of the mines to the front and
sides of the host vehicle. Such mines can be buried by hand, or used
in area tactics dispersed from helicopters, artillery cargo
projectiles or cluster bombs, and cargo munitions. The anti-magnetic
countermeasure system can be configured to specific vehicles, with
two or four ruggedized emitters mounted on tanks, APCs or light
vehicles. It can be used on finished or unfinished road surfaces,
and cross country. The system also has an integrated training mode.
