Aigis’s mine protected footwear is designed to protect soldiers and mine-clearance aid workers from the threat of Anti-Personnel mines (AP mines). The objectives of Anti-Mine Boots are:
- To enable soldiers to fully recover from stepping on an anti-personnel mine
- Decrease soldiers risk of amputation or severe disability
- Optimise trade-off protection vs. mission/environment
- Increase time allowed between mine strike and medical evacuation
- Reduce soldiers recovery time, surgical intervention and cost of recuperation
- Maintain wearability/functionality of boot
