摘要

Adjustment unit by exchange of the ignition module is reusable. Only in the secured position of the adjustment unit assembly and dismantling of the armour striker and insertion of the ignition module can take place. Switching on of the target recognition system sensor connected to the adjustment unit and of the ignition electrics can only take place in the unsecured state of the adjustment unit, and when the adjustment unit is secured the sensor and the ignition electrics are switched off. Also in the secured state of the adjustment unit the sensor and the ignition electrics can be switched to a test mode. The ignition module contains at least one pyrotechnic charge with electrical igniter, which directly or indirectly releases the drive charge of the armour striker by mechanical means. USE/ADVANTAGE - A mechanism for the activation of directional military mines for attacking armoured vehicles.
