Ah I see now
Yes I completley agree Aardvaark is an ideal solution to de-mining. I've done it in Bosnia and we found anti-tank mines with AP mines as fuses!
Yes I've seen the TV things and I always think "good luck mate" keep your ears covered! I guess it's all down to cost...mind you have you seen those giant rats on TV? No I don't mean the ones in goverment......  Regards Brian

Of course you could always do it this way! These Aussies rigged up quite the contraption here.

Don't know what happened to it however in about 2000 there was an airship operating in mine clearance. It was fitted with radars and GPS that could map mine fields from the air.
Reason for using the airship was that it could stay up for a long time, was stable and could move slowly. Once you knew where the mines were the rest of the area could be opened back up as accurate maps were produced as part of the process. One of the problems was that mines stopped use of all areas until the slow clearance process was completed. This was to then allow the clearance process to be directed to where it was needed.
