  • Patent number: 9689981
    Abstract: The system comprises an orientable block, in which are mounted at least transmission and reception antennas of means for detecting improvised explosive devices, which are directed in such a way as to illuminate at least one and the same zone of space, and a detection confirmation camera which is directed towards the zone illuminated by these transmission and reception antennas in such a way as to be able to form an image of this zone, as well as means for controlling the orientation of said orientable block, which bring about a displacement of said block in such a way as to generate a scan of a part of space by said detection means.

  • Patent number: 8540269
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mechanical connection device between a motorized vehicle and working equipment. According to the present disclosure, the device includes a rigid plate mounted by means of axles in the tow rings of the vehicle and bearing adjustable skids that are applied against a transverse surface of the vehicle, such as to abutt the connection device to the vehicle, thereby securing the same.

  • Patent number: 4848236
    Abstract: A mine for use against armored vehicles has a mount with a base resting on the ground and an ammunition launching tube having a fixed elevation and carried by the base for rotation about a vertical axis. The base contains a system for detection and azimuth location of targets which uses both seismic and acoustic detection. The tube is aimed in azimuth toward the target and an anti-tank ammunition is fired toward the position where the distance between the mine and the target is minimum. The ammunition consists of a self-propelled missile which will fly over the target at a high speed. The motor of the missile spins it about its roll axis. The self forging charge of the missile has an axis transversal to the roll axis. The missile has a detection system including a sensor which scans the ground about the roll axis and causes firing of the charge when aligned with the target.
