Holding Ruselectronics The state company Rostec presented the Foliage remote demining machine. Special equipment allows you to search for and liquidate explosive devices at a distance of up to 100 m using a system based on electromagnetic and induction means. AiF. ru & nbsp; understood how such a device works and & nbsp; what are its capabilities.
Foliage can be used in & nbsp; as the main demining vehicle in & nbsp; columns of armored vehicles, engineer troops, and & nbsp; also to ensure the safety of humanitarian convoys. It refers to & nbsp; weapons based on new physical principles. Foliage it is designed to escort Yars strategic missile mobile systems; and & nbsp; & laquo; Topol-M & raquo ;.
The main task of 'Foliage' & nbsp; & mdash; mine explosive device detection, destruction of engineering ammunition and improvised explosive device. He is able to provide complete protection to the convoy that follows him, replacing an entire sapper unit. & Nbsp;
The demining of the detected charges, equipped with electronic elements, is carried out using a microwave transmitter. The radiation 'burns' electronics of an explosive device, rendering the ammunition unusable. If a pressurized mine is found, the crew, which includes sappers, make a decision on either controlled detonation or ammunition clearance. To do this, on the front of the case is a large coverage multi-zone search module containing 16 induction sensors and electromagnetic environment monitoring equipment.
To prevent unauthorized detonation during manual demining of radio controlled explosive devices, and & nbsp; also for remote detonation of mines with & nbsp; electronic control on the board, there are remote electronic suppression equipment and & nbsp; fixed with & nbsp; beach going up to & nbsp; 70 & nbsp; mr. To protect the operator from & nbsp; electromagnetic fields generated by microwave generator, waveguide and & nbsp; other equipment, protective clothing with sewn metal threads is used.
To neutralize homemade explosive devices made with & nbsp; using cellphones, 'Foliage' Capable of transmitting radio signals at frequencies characteristic of civilian electronics. Thanks to this, the detonation of the ammunition occurs at a safe distance, when the mine enters the range of the emitters of the demining device.
Mines and & nbsp; Landmine electronics 'Foliage' able to detect at & nbsp; distances up to & nbsp; 100 & nbsp; meters. At the same time, the car can move at a speed of 15 & nbsp; km/h.
The car was created on the basis of the three-axle armored car “ Boulat & # 39; & # 39 ;. A parabolic microwave antenna is installed on the roof of the car, and a research module similar to this is hooked into the nose of the hull. “ Foliage '' armored hull divided into & nbsp; 3 & nbsp; functional compartments: for the driver and & nbsp; commander, operator, two sappers. People can work both inside the machine and outside of it.
The use of such a machine will save a huge amount of human lives and units of military equipment. & Nbsp;
It is planned to & nbsp; modernize the microwave installation with & nbsp; increase impulse power, which will increase the destruction range of explosive devices.
