I remember advertising for the Metal Storm System about the use of it
with
either an operator, or set to remote operations for possible firing,
replacing a conventional minefield.

Set up a network of sensors of some kind, anti-vehicle/personal, when
the
trigger is activated the self deployed weapon system blankets the target
zone automatically.
So in cases like this, a minefield might have only 2 or 3 camouflaged
firing
boxes for ordinance, plus several sensor arrays and have the ability
recognise friend or foe, and make battlefield clean up easier.
