A Mine Sweeping Depressor is a type of equipment used in the field of degaussing and mine sweeping. It is specifically designed to depress or neutralize magnetic mines that may be present in a given area. This equipment is typically used by military forces or naval vessels involved in mine sweeping operations.

The primary function of a Mine Sweeping Depressor is to create a magnetic field that counteracts the magnetic signature of the mines, thereby rendering them inert or less likely to detonate. This is achieved by emitting a controlled magnetic field that cancels out or reduces the magnetic influence of the mines.

By using a Mine Sweeping Depressor, naval vessels or mine sweeping teams can safely navigate through areas that may be contaminated with magnetic mines. This equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of personnel and the successful completion of mine sweeping operations.

It is important to note that the Mine Sweeping Depressor is classified as part of the Degaussing And Mine Sweeping Equipment supply class, which falls under the broader supply group of Weapons. This classification reflects its purpose and function within the military or naval context.
