Mine sweeping

Japanese: 掃海 - そうかい(英語表記)mine sweeping
Mine sweeping
A mine disposal method in which a small vessel (minesweeper) is used to drag a minesweeping device that generates a false signal equivalent to the thruster sound or hull magnetism of a surface ship or submarine through the area where the mines are located, creating a situation where the mines are ignited as if a ship had passed nearby. Usually, small vessels built of non-magnetic materials such as wood and large helicopters are used as minesweeping vehicles to limit the magnetism and thruster sound of the ship.

機雷の設置されている海域を小型艦艇 (掃海艇) などにより,水上艦または潜水艦の発する推進器音または船体磁気と同等な擬似信号を発生する掃海具を引き,機雷に対し,あたかも近傍を艦船が通過したかのような状況を作為し,誤発火させる機雷処分法。通常,掃海用ビークルとしては,艦艇磁気および推進器音を局限するため,木造などの非磁性材料で建造された小型艦艇ならびに大型ヘリコプタが運用される。
