Operators of the ground robotic technical complex (NRTK) "Courier" have started using the so-called "electromagnetic cannon" for demining operations. This was reported by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defence.
Military personnel, using the NRTK with a device for creating a powerful electromagnetic field, perform tasks for demining urban areas and road sections.
The cannon creates a powerful electromagnetic pulse, which triggers the magnetic sensors of explosive objects. The device is particularly effective against landmines and anti-personnel mines with magnetic target sensors, the agency added.
After the NRTK "Courier" with the "electromagnetic cannon" passes, sappers perform a control sweep using mine detectors, the Russian Ministry of Defence concluded.
