History Channel Video: How do you clear a minefield?

Posted by: James Hathaway

One of the more popular search terms people use to find our website is "how to clear landmines".

I found this video today on the History Channel's website featuring some cutting edge military landmine clearance technology. I say MILITARY clearance because it is different than humanitarian demining. Military clearance is,of course, about moving troops quickly through an area.

In humanitarian clearance you have to make sure the land is safe to farm, drill for wells and build schools. The methods such as the below are not always enough.
