Sea Mine 2000

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sea Mine 2000 (Finnish: Merimiina 2000) is an advanced naval mine developed by Patria for the Finnish Navy. It is a particularly sophisticated design featuring stealth and advanced target-recognition capabilities and it is also being marketed elsewhere.

The mine detects the physical impulses of approaching vessels and can choose which ones are the most valuable ones. The Sea Mine 2000 project began in 1997 and the manufacturing was initiated in 2004. Deliveries for the Finnish Navy will continue until 2008.
