  Land mine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In military science, minefields are considered a defensive or harassing weapon, used to slow the enemy down, to help deny certain terrain to the enemy, to focus enemy movement into kill zones, or to reduce morale by randomly attacking matériel and personnel.
The extents of minefields are often marked with warning signs and cloth tape, to prevent friendly troops and non-combatants from entering them.
Anti-tank minefields can be scattered with anti-personnel mines to make clearing them manually more time-consuming; and anti-personnel minefields are scattered with anti-tank mines to prevent the use of armoured vehicles to clear them quickly.

 :: Self-Healing Minefield :: Program Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-01)
The Self-Healing Minefield consists of surface scattered antitank mines that can detect an enemy attack of the minefield and respond autonomously, by having a fraction of the mines move to heal the breach.
The Self-Healing Minefield forces the enemy to attack the minefield and deplete the antitank mines surrounding the breaching lane by either repeated assaults or a wide area breach/clearance.
The culmination of this effort was to demonstrate Self-Healing Minefield concepts, in tactical scenarios, including urban terrain and a large scale minefield with at least 50 concept mines operating in a one-half hectare test area.
