A device for dismantling explosive devices, the device may include a handle for carrying the robot; a camera; infrared illumination elements; a payload compartment that is configured to hold, in a releasable manner, an explosive device dismantling payload; laser markers that are configured to be at a predefined spatial relationship with an optical axis of the explosive device dismantling payload; a transceiver; a controller that is configured to control the robot, at least partially in response to commands that are received by the transceiver; a base; and a rotation and tilt assembly for moving the payload compartment in relation to the base. The device may be without a driving unit for driving the device from one location to the other.

In one embodiment, a safety trailer has semi-tractor hitches at both ends and a safety wall that is fixed to one side of the trailer. That side, however, can be changed to the right or left side of the road, depending on the end to which the truck attaches. A caboose can be attached at the end of the trailer opposite the tractor to provide additional lighting and impact protection. Optionally, the trailer can be equipped with overhead protection, lighting, ventilation, onboard hydraulics, compressors, generators and other equipment, as well as related fuel, water, storage and restroom facilities and other amenities.

Invention is an anti-mine pad for protecting legs against anti-personnel pressure-type mines. The pad comprises a rigid horizontal platform, support legs and footwear-fastening elements. The platform has an upper surface for footwear and a lower convex surface. The lower convex protrusion's vertex faces downwards. The platform's lower surface lacks parallel planes when projecting a human foot relative to the upper surface. The support legs provide a space between the platform and the ground. Contact points between the support legs and the ground are outside the platform. The arrangement height of the platform's upper surface above the ground is 40-99 mm. Rigid polymeric material of the pad's inner frame has a greater rigidity than an outer shell's material. The pad protects the human foot against explosions of the anti-personnel pressure-type mines, has small weight, dimensions, is convenient for transportation, easily taken off/worn and reliably hold the user on a surface.

Disclosed is an apparatus that includes an electric power source that powers a Marx generator that is electrically coupled to a cathode emitter that is configured to discharge electrical potential into the earth. The apparatus also includes a load resistor that is coupled between the output of the Marx generator and either a relative ground or the input to the Marx generator.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is used to make mimics for explosives. The process uses mixtures of explosives and matrices commonly used in AM. The explosives are formulated into a mixture with the matrix and printed using AM techniques and equipment. The explosive concentrations are kept less than 10% by wt. of the mixture to conform to requirements of shipping and handling.
