Not exactly new... David Rees wrote, in 2002, in Get Your War On:

As I was finishing this book, someone sent me a link to the DARPA website. (DARPA stands for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. It's part of the U.S. Department of Defense.)

DARPA is working on a new project called the "Self-Healing Minefield." I love that phrase. I assumed that it meant that after being deployed for a certain time, the minefield would "heal" itself by becoming inoperable. You know--so little kids don't get accidentally blown up?

It wasn't until I watched the explanatory video on DARPA's website that I realized--the minefield heals itself by automatically repositioning its landmines after some explode. The mines literally fucking hop into position to fill gaps in the field.

Of course. A Self-Healing Minefield.
