Rational Performance Indices for Mine and Minefield Assessment

Abstract

Some mine assessment indices have been analytically derived. By using these it is possible to compare mines on a rational basis with lethality, cost, weight, time-to-lay and laying effort as yardsticks for assessment. The arrangements of certain types of mixed minefields can be optimised using any one of the indices. Some graphs are included for rapid minefield cost and field stopping power evaluation.
