Dr. von Karman gathered about him a group of Ameri­ can scientists from every field of research having a bearing on air power.

  • Landmines, Detection, Explosives, Thermography, Temperature
    Frontiers in Science 2013, 3(1): 27-42 DOI: 10.5923/j.fs.20130301.05 Literature Review on Landmines and Detection Methods Rasaq Bello Department of Physics Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria Abstract Detection of buried antipersonnel landmines (APL) is a demanding task in which one tries to obtain information about characteristics of the soil and of objects buried in it. Various methods that are used to detect buried landmines have been examined. None of these methods meets the standards that have been set by authorities such as the United Nations or the United States Army. Therefore there is an urgent need for new and improved methods to be developed, particularly in view of the threat that abandoned landmines pose to civilian populations. Various researches reviewed in this work showed thermography to be a good method to detect shallowly buried objects. Detection systems capable of quickly and accurately detecting buried landmines are the only possibility to significantly improve the demining process. Due to low signal-to-noise ratio, changing environment conditions that influence measurements and existence of other natural or man-made objects that give sensor readings similar to the landmine, interpretation of sensor data for landmine detection is a complicated task. Keywords Landmines, Detection, Explosives, Thermography, Temperature and as area-denial weapons. The latter use seeks to deny 1.

  • Chapter 2 EXPLOSIVES
    Chapter 2 EXPLOSIVES This chapter classifies commercial blasting compounds according to their explosive class and type. Initiating devices are listed and described as well. Military explosives are treated separately. The ingredi- ents and more significant properties of each explosive are tabulated and briefly discussed. Data are sum- marized from various handbooks, textbooks, and manufacturers’ technical data sheets. THEORY OF EXPLOSIVES In general, an explosive has four basic characteristics: (1) It is a chemical compound or mixture ignited by heat, shock, impact, friction, or a combination of these conditions; (2) Upon ignition, it decom- poses rapidly in a detonation; (3) There is a rapid release of heat and large quantities of high-pressure gases that expand rapidly with sufficient force to overcome confining forces; and (4) The energy released by the detonation of explosives produces four basic effects; (a) rock fragmentation; (b) rock displacement; (c) ground vibration; and (d) air blast. A general theory of explosives is that the detonation of the explosives charge causes a high-velocity shock wave and a tremendous release of gas. The shock wave cracks and crushes the rock near the explosives and creates thousands of cracks in the rock. These cracks are then filled with the expanding gases. The gases continue to fill and expand the cracks until the gas pressure is too weak to expand the cracks any further, or are vented from the rock. The ingredients in explosives manufactured are classified as: Explosive bases. An explosive base is a solid or a liquid which, upon application or heat or shock, breaks down very rapidly into gaseous products, with an accompanying release of heat energy.

  • Equipment for Post-Conflict Demining a Study Or Requirements in Mozambique
    Working Paper 48 Equipment for Post-Conflict Demining A Study or Requirements in Mozambique by A.V. Smith January 1996 Summary The aims of this study were: 1. to find out what equipment mine-clearance groups use and its sources, and to inquire what alternative/further equipment they want; 2. to assess manufacturing capability relevant to the possible production of mine clearance equipment at rural and urban levels. Mine clearance A number of mined areas were visited and mine clearance observed. At some sites, mines were placed defensively around possible targets. At others, mines were laid to destabilise the infrastructure by denying access to an area. Nine groups involved in mine clearance in Mozambique were interviewed, one in their Zimbabwe offices, one in the UK and the others in country: UNADP Cap Anamur Demining (CAD) Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) USAID The HALO Trust MECHEM (British Aerospace) Minetech Special Clearance Services Handicap International All the above were asked about their working methods and the equipment they use. Mine clearance groups usually distinguish between the detectors, which are the single most expensive item of equipment used, and all other equipment which they call "ancillary,'. Of the detectors used the Schiebel and Ebinger models were the most common. No detectors were entirely satisfactory and the best were considered overpriced. We found a wide range of ancillary equipment in use, some of which was locally made. Each group was asked if there were any items of equipment they did not have but would like, and what variations on existing equipment they would find most useful.

Yet , in all the literature produced on this subject to date , and discussions of the problem in various international forums , mention is rarely made of Burma. This is despite the fact that anti -personnel (AP ) landmines have been, and are still being,manufactured and laid in large numbers in that country , with serious consequences for both combatants and non - combatants alike .
