Abstract
An arrangement for sweeping mines having firing systems which are sensitive to magnetic fields is disclosed which utilizes a remote control mobile floating body with a built-in propulsion system. A magnetic field is generated within a group of permanent magnets located within the floating body in such a manner that these permanent magnets are either individually controlled or controlled as a group so that various types of magnetic field mines can be detected.
