Book Description
The Aerial Delivered Anti-Tank Mine was developed as a highly mobile weapon to exploit the potential of mine warfare in offensive-type operations. Aerial delivered mines are ideally suited for use beyond a beachhead perimeter or enemy front lines to prevent the enemy from bringing in heavy armor. The mine may be used in analytical situation, offensive or defensive, where it is desirable to deny enemy armor access to local areas. The mine incorporates provisions for non-destructive sterilization which may be preset for any predetermined time up to 10 days. This sterilization feature permits friendly armor to pass through the mined area after the mine has served its purpose. Improvement studies indicate that a maximum sterilization time of six months is highly feasible. It is also possible to provide friendly vehicles with inexpensive equipment which will permit safe passage of the mined area at any time. After separation from the delivery airplane the mine falls to earth and comes to rest beneath the surface in a near vertical position. The mine may be used in soils varying from wet clay to sand and hard packed soil surfaces. The depth of burial varies from 6 inches to 4 feet depending on the air drop and soil conditions.

Book Description
The Area Denial design group of Stephen E. Douglas, Michael T. Golden, Franklin B. Scherra, Jr., Bryan J. Wiley, Mike Talbot, and Eric R. Swenson, has designed a system that will limit access to an area and constrain the movement of the enemy forces. Several types of land mines are in use today that fall under the anti-tank or anti-personnel categories. These mines can be employed in many different manners. Some require aerial dispersal while others have to be deployed manually. Land mines are an effective means to delay, fix, disrupt, deny, turn, or destroy enemy forces in combat. However, unrecovered conventional land mines pose a threat because they remain armed after the conflict ends. Currently, several nations are proposing to ban anti-personnel land mines that do not self-destruct or can not be command detonated. We assume the political pressure against land mines will eventually encompass both anti-personnel and anti-tank mines. The mounting political pressure against land mines has forced the United States to look for alternatives to deny enemy force 5 access to specific areas. The objective of our group was to provide alternative area denial systems to replace the conventional land mine. Our most promising alternative deals with the Intelligent Wide Area Munitions (IWAM) because of the extensive work that has already been done on that system.

Book Description
Environmental information is important for successful planning and execution of naval operations. A thorough understanding of environmental variability greatly increases the likelihood of mission success. To ensure that naval forces have the most up-to-date capabilities, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has an extensive environmental research program. This research, to be of greatest use to the warfighter, needs to be directed towards assisting and solving battlefield problems. To increase research community understanding of the operational demands placed on naval operators and to facilitate discussion between these two groups, the National Research Council's (NRC) Ocean Studies Board (OSB), working with ONR and the Office of the Oceanographer of the Navy, convened five previous symposia on tactical oceanography. Oceanography and Mine Warfare examines the following issues: (1) how environmental data are used in current mine warfare doctrine, (2) current procedures for in situ collection of data, (3) the present capabilities of the Navy's oceanographic community to provide supporting information for mine warfare operations, and (4) the ability of oceanographic research and technology developments to enhance current mine warfare capabilities. This report primarily concentrates on the importance of oceanographic data for mine countermeasures.
