AN/PRS-3 Mine Detection Unit (Metallic): The AN/PRS-3 is virtually identical to the AN/PRS-7A except that it is effective in finding metallic mines only--an Electronics or Combat Engineer: AVG. task. Weight: 13 kg Cost: $1500
NOTE: Mines can still be detected through the old probing method. A character crawling at up to one-third his normal rate and probing around him with a knife or similar object does this. It is an Observation: AVG. task to do successfully, Failure may result in missing a mine. The removal of detected mines may take anywhere from five to 30 minutes per mine, depending upon any anti-handling devices and how well the character passes a Combat Engineer: EASY task check. Task check failure may result in the mine's detonation.
AN/PSS-12 Metallic Mine Detector: The AN/PSS-12 Mine Detector is a light weight, hand held, and metallic mine detector. It is capable of detecting very small metallic objects such as small firing pins in plastic and wooden mines. The AN/PSS-12 Mine Detector is capable of detecting mines in fresh or salt water, and objects buried up to 20 inches in the ground. 70 hours Operating Time; Weight: 6 kg, Price: $1,000
AN/PRS-7A Mine Detection Unit (Non-Metallic): The AN/PRS-7A is a backpack-mounted, man-portable, battery-operated, mine detection unit. It consists of a headset, a backpack unit, and a telescoping mine detection wand (one-meter in length, fully extended). In the hands of an experienced combat engineer, this unit is effective in detecting all kinds of mines, both metallic and non-metallic. Detecting a normally employed mine is an Electronics or Combat Engineer: Easy task for non-metallic mines and an Electronics or Combat Engineer: Average task for non-metallic ones. Each battery lasts for 60 hours of operation. A man can use this unit and walk at one-half his normal rate. Weight: 15 kg Cost: $2500 Battery, $50
Mine Clearance Tools: These are non magnetic which can be used to clear mines from the ground and brush, Weight: 15 kg, Price: $200
DIM Vehicle-Mounted Magnetic Mine Detector: The DIM is mounted on an UAZ-469/69 truck. The detection element fastens on a frame on the front of the vehicle. When the vehicle approaches a metallic mine, a signal light appears on the dash and, simultaneously, the system applies compressed air into the brake cylinders, halting the detector. This system can detect metallic mines in roadways, airfields, and other terrain. It can detect mines buried 25 centimetres deep. It can travel at a speed of up to 10 kilometres per hour while scanning. Placing the system in or out of operation takes up to seven minutes, the DIM has a two-man crew. Weight 250 kg Price $500
IMP Lightweight Mine Detector: The Soviet IMP is a lightweight mine detector designed to detect metallic mines and non-metallic mines with metal components. It is comprised of a detector head, search handle, tuning box, battery pack, and headphones. The detector head assembly contains two transmitting antennas and one receiving antenna encased in a Bakelite cylinder. The search handle consists of four aluminium sections, which can be joined together and used at its minimum or maximum lengths. The battery pack consists of four 1.6-volt batteries. When dismantled, all the components are carried in a lightweight rectangular metal box. Weight: 2 kg Price: $250
M1 Mine Clearing Blade System: The M1 Mine Clearing Blade System is an auxiliary piece of equipment necessary for the tank unit to breech minefields during the normal conduct of operations. The Mine Clearing Blade System for the M1A1 Main Battle Tank is an ancillary piece of support equipment. It is electrically operated and is capable of clearing surface or buried mines up to 6 feet in front of the tank's path without the aid of supporting forces or additional equipment. Weight: 4 tons, Price: $65,000
M60A1 Adapter Kit: Used for installing the M1 Mine Clearing Blade System on the M60A1 Tank Weight: 272 kg, Price: 12,000
Non-Magnetic Mine Prodder: A non-magnetic mine prodder for locating mines at depths of up to 250 mm. primarily intended for situations where a magnetic device would activate a mine, it is equally suitable for use where magnetic fields are not considered a risk. The prodder is lightweight and supplied with a carrier web suitable for personnel in service webbing equipment. Weight: 1 kg Price $40
