Abstract
A delivery system ( ) for a warhead ( ) for neutralization of mines, having an orientation device. The fragmentation warhead ( ) is triggered over a visible mine or, over the position of a mine that is optically marked and/or the coordinates of which are known. The triggering of warhead ( ) destroys a mine up to a depth of 30 centimeters below the surface. A throwing system with controllable spring tension energy is employed, which has, when compared with a conventional mortar, a higher quality of reproducibility in its starting speed, smaller starting mistakes by means of precise roller bearing guides ( ) during the acceleration phase, and temperature independence due to the measuring the energy of the springs ( ) during the tensioning process by electric motors. Three microreaction drive mechanisms ( ) are provided to correct the flight path, along with a sensor ( ) that measures flight path deviation.
