ADWAT mine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ADWAT is a French anti-tank blast mine used with the Matenin mine laying system. The mine has the same casing as the MI AC PR series of mines. The mines has a mechanical and electronic fuze. The mine incorperates a 30 minute arming delay, after which either the electronic or mechanical fuze can trigger the mine. The electronic fuze can be programmed using an external programmer with a three pin connection to self neutralize, self destruct and act as an anti-handling device, with an active period of between one and 365 days.
The mine is reported to be resistant to blast and mine countermeasures.
