This report describes the use of flail mechanisms for demining purposes. The authors describe how practical tests and trials on the clearance capability of flail machines have shown that if the machines are adequately operated and the operating environment is favorable, flails are able to achieve mine clearance rates approaching 100 percent. The paper states that flail machines can be used for proper demining and not just as ground preparation for subsequent mine clearance activities.
