비무장지대에 매설되어 있는 100만여개의 지뢰와 북괴의 호전적인 태도를 감안한다면 전시에 전투력 발휘를 보장하기 위한 전력화 측면에서 그리고 인도주의적 측면에서 우리군도 정책적으로 추가적인 지뢰제거장비의 연구개발에 관심을 기울여야 하겠다. 지뢰제거장비는 1종류만 사용한다면 100% 지뢰제거에는 제한이 따르며 기계식, 전자기식, 폭파식, 비폭파식 장비를 종합적으로 운용하여 전시 기동부대에 기동성을 보장하고 또한 군사작전지역이 아닌 지역에서 지뢰로 인한 민간 사상자를 방지하고 통일에 대비할 수 있도록 지뢰탐지 및 제거장비개발 획득에 박차를 가해야 하겠다.

Up to now, non-explosive demining system adaptable to a mobile robot has been developed. This system has much smaller platform and consists of non-explosive mechanism. Brief experiment indoors showed thai developed demining system can remove landmines well. But, out of doors, some problems are detected i.e. Inclination of overall system causes a suspension of rake rotation. In this research, a study on performance improvement of developed non-explosive demining system is mainly discussed. To compensate the inclination of the system, mechanical sensor composed of shaft and spring is used. This sensor gives a signal to a leadscrew motor and controls a rotating direction. From an experiment, it is confirmed that the mechanical sensor as stated is a good solution of the inclination of the system.

Up to now, a lot of unmanned demining systems have been developed. However, some inferiority surely exist by reason of their large platform and explosive mechanism. To settle this inferiority, non-explosive demining system adaptable to a mobile robot already has been developed. Brief experiment indoors showed that developed demining system can remove landmines well. But, out of doors, several problems are detected. In this research, a study on the performance improvement of developed non-explosive demining system is mainly discussed. To overcome downhill effect, mechanical sensor composed of shaft and spring is used. It is confirmed that clearance depth control using the mechanical sensor is a good solution for the inclination of the system.

This paper introduces a link-type tracked vehicle which is developed for demining operations. The vehicle consists of three parts - front frame, rear frame and body. The front frame is connected to the rear frame by a rotational passive adaptation mechanism which is a driving mechanism of the vehicle. Additionally, the demining system which is adaptable to mobile robot is developed to clear small Anti-Personnel(AP) mines with inexplosive method. In other words, assembled rakes unearth mines by their opposite rotation to the direction of the robot. Finally, the motions of demining rakes and design parameters of the demining system are analyzed.
