A mine roller includes a bracket having a first end and a second end. The first end is adapted to be coupled to a vehicle. A rigid table has a center section and modular sections with the center section being coupled to the second end of the bracket for rotation about the second end in a first plane. The modular sections are coupled to the center section for rotation therewith. Roller banks are coupled to two of the modular sections for rotation relative thereto in a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane.

Modular and scalable mine roller

A mine roller includes a bracket having a first end and a second end. The first end is adapted to be coupled to a vehicle. A table having a center region is coupled to the second end of the bracket for rotation about the second end in a first plane. The table has first and second telescopic portions coupled to the center region such that the table is extendable relative to the center region in opposing directions of a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane. A roller bank is coupled to each telescopic portion of the table for rotation relative to the respective telescopic portion in a third plane that is parallel to the second plane.

Telescopic-width mine roller

A land mine simulator includes a housing having an opening formed in one end thereof. A plate movably supported in the housing's opening has a first face exposed to a surrounding environment and a second face exposed to an interior region of the housing. A non-compressible fluid-filled reservoir in the housing includes a flexible diaphragm opposing and spaced apart from the second face of the plate. Plungers are between each of the second face of the plate and the diaphragm. Each of one or more air spring in the housing includes a cylinder having a movable piston sealed therein with a first side of the piston in fluid communication with the reservoir's fluid and a second side of the piston in fluid communication with a pressurized volume of gas within the cylinder. A pressure sensor is provided in communication with the fluid in the reservoir.
