Easily carried by two infantrymen, it can be set up and activated in less than one minute, greatly enhancing operator survivability.
The POMINS 2 will clear a 50-meter long and 50-centimeter wide safe path through antipersonnel minefields, barbed wire or a combination of both.
The POMINS 2 system consists of two subsystems, each carried by an infantry soldier using a special backpack harness, which is an integral part of the system.
The harness also serves as a launch prop when the system is set up.
The two subsystems are the launcher, which contains the propelling rocket motor and the front part of the line charge and the container, which contains the rear part of the line charge.
The two subsystems are set approximately one meter ahead of the starting point of the path to be cleared. The covers are removed from both subsystems, and the line charges are coupled by means of a quick connector.
