MICLIC Employment in a minefield less than 100 meters
<img src="http://www.boomspeed.com/eliteforum/pic001.gif" alt=" - " />
Clearing a lane through a minefield less than 100 meters deep requires one MICLIC. The leading edge of the minefield is identified and, if possible, confirmed by reconnaissance. The MICLIC is deployed from a minimum standoff distance of 62 meters from the leading edge of the minefield.
The neutralization of mines by blast depends on the peak pressure and the impulse. For the MICLIC, the impulse is at a maximum of 3 meters from the line charge (on both sides) and decreases the closer it gets toward the line charge, to a minimum of 1 meter from the line charge. This decrease on impulse causes a SKIP ZONE. This does not mean that neutralization is equal to zero percent: it means that it is not equal to 100 percent. Mines that are buried deeper than 10 centimeters and located 1 to 2 meters from the line charge have a high probability of not being neutralized.

Clearing a lane a minefield of uncertain depth or greater than 100 m requires two or more MICLICs. The first MICLIC is deployed 100m from the identified leading edge or stricken vehicle. Once the first MICLIC is detonated, a second MICLIC moves 25m into the path formed by the first and fires its charge. This causes a 13m overlap of charges, and extends the lane an additional 87m. Additional MICLICs are used for minefields of extreme depth, and each one moves down the lane 25m into the path created by the previous charge.
