Abstract: A power ring of annular conductor configuration for use in a military vehicle to supply electricity to devices in the vehicle. The power ring includes a plurality of controllers (1) as monitoring and switching devices arranged along and connected with the annular conductor segments forming the ring, a plurality of taps provided for the annular conductor (9) for connecting the annular conductor to loads, feed locations on the annular conductor (9) for feeding electrical energy, and data connections between the controllers (1) and a superordinated control apparatus for monitoring and controlling the power ring. The tap or the feed location for the annular conductor is in each instance structurally combined as a unit with a controllable node that is disposed along the annular conductor and connected into the annular conductor in a multiple manner so that annular conductor segments (9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5) are obtained between the tap controllers (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.

Abstract: An apparatus for anti-mine protection for an armored vehicle wherein a box (5) is mounted to the underside of the vehicle floor, with the box being completely filled in the longitudinal and transverse directions with a plurality of sandbag-like damping elements (4).

Abstract: A method and a device for destroying drifting sea mines (5). According to the invention, a capture-and-destroy device (11) is brought into the vicinity of the drifting sea mine (5) with the aid of a buoyant body (12, 22) having a coupled-on drive system (13) or a drive device (24), and the mine is captured in that the sea mine (5) is surrounded by deployment of a capture net (16) normally located in a capture unit (11.1) of the capture-and-destroy device (11). A motorized element (17) disposed in the capture unit (11.1) draws the capture net (16) together automatically until the captured sea mine (5) rests directly against a destroyer unit (11.2) with a destructive charge (15). The destructive charge (15) is then automatically detonated to destroy the mine.
