anti-personnel mine alternatives
remote-controlled minefields
non - lethal weapon - Opis:
- Due to the ratification of the Ottawa Convention, Poland is obliged to dispose of the arsenal of anti-personnel mines. The work on the modernization of the existing mines, which is underway, focuses on the replacement of their fuses with controlled elements, which will soon make it possible to exclude this type of munitions from being defined as anti-personnel mines. The ongoing degradation of currently possessed stockpiles, a ban on production and purchase of this type of munitions as well as cutbacks in funds for purchasing military equipment for the Polish Armed Forces, all mean the necessity of introducing an alternative with the aim of replacing previously used anti-personnel and anti-tank mines - an alternative which will be characterized by economical production process and, at the same time, by effectiveness sufficient to ensure that the minimum quantity thereof will allow the performance of combat tasks at the same, or even higher, level. This paper describes issues connected to the worldwide tendency to eliminate the arsenal of anti-personnel land mines and to replace them with their alternatives, which are to be applied in the protection system of a designated area. The paper defines requirements to be met by an alternative and presents a concept of such a device, constructed on the basis of the design of a warhead that may have installed in it non-lethal weapons' components.
