The U.S. Army is pioneering a groundbreaking approach to detect and neutralize these deadly hazards of landmines in warzones from a safe distance.
Amit Makhijani from the office of Project Manager Close Combat Systems revealed that dynamic live fire testing is underway for a potential solution known as GOBLN, or Ground Obstacle Breaching Lane Neutralizer.
The GOBLN concept integrates a mortar-based launcher system mounted on a vehicle platform, a small unmanned aerial system for detection, and a neutralizing munition. During a recent test at the Yuma Test Center, the focus was on the neutralization aspect, with the team strategically laying out mines to assess the effectiveness of the system.
