A minefield is irradiated with coherent microwave energy at a first power level. Back radiation provides an indication of the position of the landmines. Coherent microwave radiation at a second power level high than the first is directed at the hidden mines to destroy the same. The microwave energy is produced by gyrotron oscillator.

1. A method to clear minefields containing hidden land mines buried in the soil below the surface at various positions comprising the steps of:producing specific emission of coherent microwave radiation for penetrating the soil; and directing the microwave radiation at the minefield containing the hidden mines so that the microwave radiation penetrates the soil for absorbtion by the hidden mines for determining the various positions of the hidden mines and so that the microwave radiation absorbed by the hidden mines destroys said hidden mines.
