Hybrid Chassis Breaching System
First Claim
1. ) A method combining navigating in water and traversing land comprising:
- a) using an unmanned ground vehicle with traction components able to traverse said land;
wherein said traction components are robotically controlled by actuators to raise or lower the chassis and;
b) providing a means for thru chassis water propulsion.

Abstract
A robotic amphibious mine breaching system including a hybrid chassis with deployable Mat Modules provides a detection and navigation grid with breaching mechanisms to range from underwater to edge of shore, the beach and continue inland. A computer-controlled transmitter and receiver unit integrates signals from different spatial locations establishing a grid. The surface and underwater mine counter-measure system deploys transponders and sensors to detect anomalies in the electromagnetic field caused by both magnetic and non-magnetic objects therein during underwater travel creating a cleared navigational grid establishing landing lanes for Force Protection and Maneuver Capabilities.
