IEEE Pervasive Computing October-December  2004

2. The Main Idea : Future Landmines
Networked communication
Embedded processing
Operating without external infrastructure
Graceful degrading

3. Future Landmines : Self-Healing Minefield (SHM)

4. The Main Achievements
Autonomously identify and respond to an enemy attack within 10 seconds of a breach attempt or vulnerability in the minefield.
Move an individual 2 kg prototype mine 10 meters in response to the breach
Assure mine mobility in all environmental conditions and terrain where enemy tanks can operate.
Rapidly assemble a scalable communication network and self-geolocate in 5-15 minutes.
Provide robust mine-to-mine communication resistant to enemy countermeasures
