NO 1: PERFORMANCE TEST
The aim of this test is to assess the performance of the system against mines without booster of
various sizes and shapes which located in different depths and fueling consumption of machines. The
test will be done at three conditions:
• Dry condition is selected when the ground moister is less than 25% or other word; there is no
visual contact of water within its test site. On top of that the ground soil is hard and it less
potential to get flooded.
• Light bush condition is selected when the area is grown by shrubs or mix wild vegetation
whose diameter is less than 20 cm (tree that diameter is larger than 20 cm is manually
removed).
• Wet condition is where the ground moister is over 25% or the ground is soft that it could
represent Cambodia minefield in wet season. This condition poses a major constraint for heavy
weight demining machinery.
