The Anti-assault mine PDM-1C is designed to destroy all kinds of assault vessels and vehicles, such as assault motor boats, and light armored amphibius vehicles in seas, rivers or lakes. It is made of high corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel and plastic) and can function in salt waters. The design of the mine’s anchor ensure stability during rough sea. The mine could be used building controllable mine fields. The mine’s warhead PDM-1C has an explosive weight of 12 kg TNT equivalent. The mine is equipped with a sensor system which includes acoustic, magnetic and contact sensors. The contact sensor has a mechanical device which maintains a constant depth of submersion during high and low tides, thus duplicate the magnetic sensor when the assault craft is of non-magnetic type.
The electronic block autonomously analyses the signals from sensor system according to pre-set complex algorithm and generates detonation command only if presence of target is detected above the mine. The fuse cannot be activated from humans and marine life.
The system also has two programmable modes for termination of the armed state after expiration of the pre-set time – self-destruction or neutralization.
If the mine is neutralized, the fuse separates from the warhead and emerges to the surface. The mine could be retrieved and fuse could be factory refurbished in order to restore the functionality of the system.
KEY FEATURES
- Activation on non-magnetic targets
- Fuse state is controlled by hydro-accoustic(optional)
