ATMF-08 is designed to be used with the TM – 62M, TM- 62P3 and our own produced ATM-01 series of anti-tank mines. It incorporates an explosive formed projectile (EFP) charge which penetrates into the belly armor of the target vehicle and activates the mine. On activation, a clearing charge removes the camouflage layer above the fuse before the EFP detonation. Penetration capability is over 50 mm of armored steel. The fuse can also be easily adapted to other types of tank mines.

The fuse ATMF-08 can be remotely activated and deactivated multiple times by a Command Unit, with safety guaranteed by the inbuilt electro-mechanical lock of the explosive train, thus allowing to mak safe passage in the minefield. The highly reliable bidirectional radio link allows the user to:

• check the status of the fuse from a distance;
• activate/deactivate single fuses, groups of fuses or all of them;
• use information coding in order to increase the resistance to radio connection jamming and to reduce to a minimum the risk of intentional or accidental activation;
• perform a detonation on command;
• control up to 50 anti-tank mines by one Command Unit.

The ATMF-08 uses combined acoustic, seismic and electromagnetic sensors to identify its target and to activate the fuse at the exact moment when the armored vehicle is above the fuse.
