Mine simulation system having an electromagnetic field disturbing device
First Claim
1. A mine simulation system, comprising:
- a magnetic field disturbance sensing apparatus carried by a moving vehicle; and
a plurality of randomly distributed passive permanent magnetic field disturbing devices located on the ground and simulated as mines, said sensing apparatus being capable of detecting a magnetic field disturbance caused by the presence of any one of said plurality of passive permanent magnetic field disturbing devices when said vehicle comes into proximity of said any one passive permanent magnetic field disturbing device.

Abstract
A mine simulation system includes a magnetic field disturbance sensing apparatus carried by a moving vehicle and a plurality of randomly distributed passive permanent magnetic field disturbing devices located on the ground and simulated as mines. The sensing apparatus detects a magnetic field disturbance caused by the presence of any one of the passive permanent magnetic field disturbing devices when the vehicle comes into proximity of one passive permanent magnetic field disturbing device. A method for training personnel in mine field action can use this mine simulation system by entering the training vehicle into an area where the magnetic field of the earth has been disturbed by the presence of the passive permanent magnetic field disturbance device. When the training vehicle comes into proximity of one passive permanent magnetic field disturbance device, an output voltage is generated in the sensing apparatus detectable by a personnel being trained.
