Demonstration of the prototype indicates that although it is useless against obstacles, the plow can be effective in removing mines from inland minefields and from the surf and craft landing zones and would be particularly useful in humanitarian demining. Tests have also

The guinea pig concept has been tested, it has utility under certain MCM conditions, and it should not be allowed to drop from the corporate memory. The panel notes the utility of an unmanned, remotely controlled, GPS-navigated barge with sufficient independent compartments, filled with buoyant material such as hardened polymer foam, to withstand several mine blasts of the type expected in the surf zone to high water mark.

The bottom of the channel is deepened, and mines and obstacles that may not be removed will be on or in the new bottom, which should be deep enough that assault vehicles will not contact them. Contact is important because contact mines are generally the most difficult mines to destroy.

Among the impediments to breaching the surf and craft landing zones are the durability of some of the mine types that are typically deployed in near-shore waters and the consequent difficulty of destroying them. 1Naval Studies Board.
