The U.S. Marine Corps requires an easily transportable, rapidly deployable mine clearing capability which can be employed without modification or permanent attachment to tactical wheeled and tracked vehicles. A trailer mounted mine clearing line charge would provide a surface-launched capability which could be rapidly employed by mechanized infantry, armored and combat engineer units. A MICLIC system is needed to create a vehicle-width cleared lane for tracked and wheeled vehicles through minefield obstacles. A MICLIC system would provide a highly mobile, simple and quick response capability for enhanced tactical mobility. The Initial Operational Capability (IOC) should be FY85. (Author)
