The purpose of the MNS is to facilitate development of alternatives that address critical warfighting capabilities of battlefield shaping and force protection against personnel threats in full spectrum operations. Mission and Threat Analyses Mission Military forces, operating in all environments and terrain, across the full spectrum of military operations, require capabilities for battlefield shaping and force protection that enhance operational and tactical flexibility.

The OSD sponsored study conducted APL analysis at the tactical and operational levels. At both the Tactical and Operational levels, removal of APL from the combined arms synergy of combat effects has created an additional burden on the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP)

The report summarizes DOD direction to seek technological alternatives to APL and to review/modify operational doctrine, tactics and plans to reduce and ultimately eliminate reliance on APL. Mission and Threat Analyses Mission Military forces, operating in all environments and terrain, across the full spectrum of military operations, require capabilities for battlefield shaping and force protection that enhance operational and tactical flexibility and set conditions for friendly dominant maneuver.

In addition, these alternative solutions have force structure implications and are not easily adapted to satisfy all operational tempos and weather and terrain conditions. Since no system or system-of-systems has yet been identified that fully addresses the missions and deficiencies described previously, additional analysis is ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO REPLACE ANTIPERSONNEL LANDMINES required to determine how critical technologies can be effectively integrated into a robust system.

Once activated, the system must operate in the residual and time-based effects of weather to include build up of snow, ice, frost, and mud to provide an around-the-clock duty cycle operational capability. If sensors are incorporated in the new design, they must be able to operate in extreme hot and cold environments and should be insensitive to temperature cycles associated with diurnal temperature variations.
