ABSTRACT:
A trip wire type mine has a plurality of trip wires, each trip wire being wound on a reel and ejected through an opening in a body of the mine by means of an ejection system. The ejection system may include a cutting device to cut a lid in a plate forming a plane wall of the hollow body of the mine, a movable system to displace the cutting device, and a pyrotechnic charge to drive the movable system. A projectile is attached to one end of each trip wire, and the charge is also used to eject the plurality of projectiles through the opening, thereby deploying the trip wires and placing the mine in an operational state.
