US Army Tests Innovative GOBLN to dispose of mines (video)

The developers claim that this is an innovative solution in the field of mining field disposal. The system includes a mortar installation on the platform of the car, a small UAV for detection, as well as a neutralized ammunition. The US Army tests an innovative machine to neutralize mines in a safe distance combat.

It is an innovative solution - Ground Obstacle Breaching Lane Neutralizer or GOBLN, created on the basis of a multi -purpose M1152A1 multi -purpose wheel machine, equipped with a mortar for neutralization and a device for detecting mines. This was reported on April 24 by Defense Blog. According to Close Combat Systems, the Gobln concept covers a mortar -based launcher installed on the car platform, a small drone for detecting, and neutralizing ammunition.

It is noted that due to the possibility of remote control, this system enables operators to stay out of the risk area during operations to cleanse the replaced areas. The test officer Brett Bouman said that operators receive data from a drone that identifies the target and reports the coordinates. Their task is to mark each target and not strike when you have a re -firing at an already neutralized goal. "We want to punch mines when hitting the target so that it damage the detonator or to act it.

Another option is to burn when the mine is hit and, in fact, charred. This is the ideal neutralization. This is what we need. " Said the officer. During the last GOBLN test conducted at the end of March 2024 at the Huma landfill in Arizona, special attention was paid to assessing the impact of mortar scapnel on different types of mines, including US M-15 and foreign TM-62M, strategically located on six lanes.
