GRAVITY-DEPLOYED BIDIRECTIONAL MINE WITH A HOLLOW CHARGE

摘要

The invention concerns a shaped-charge mine the effect of which is directed along either of two opposite directions and which is capable of operating whatever the manner of laying it. This mine comprises a charge contained within a substantially cylindrical housing to the ends of which two coverings are fastened. An impact-damping means is arranged around the housing. It is formed either of a layer of damping material on which there are fastened deployable tongues or of two disks tied together by tie rods embedded in a layer of damping material and deployable tongues fastened to the disks, or finally a single layer of damping material applied directly to the housing. The damping means is such that the ratio of the height h of the mine to the diameter d formed by said means is less than 0.5.
