Anti-handling device

An anti-handling device is an attachment to or an integral part of a landmine or other munition such as some fuze types found in general-purpose air-dropped bombs, cluster bombs and sea mines.

See Minimum metal mine and Anti-handling device

Anti-personnel mine

An anti-personnel mine or anti-personnel landmine (APL) is a form of mine designed for use against humans, as opposed to an anti-tank mine, which target vehicles.

See Minimum metal mine and Anti-personnel mine

Anti-tank mine

In anti-tank warfare, an anti-tank mine (abbreviated to "AT mine") is a type of land mine designed to damage or destroy vehicles including tanks and armored fighting vehicles.

See Minimum metal mine and Anti-tank mine

Belleville washer

A Belleville washer, also known as a coned-disc spring, conical spring washer, disc spring, Belleville spring or cupped spring washer, is a conical shell which can be loaded along its axis either statically or dynamically.

See Minimum metal mine and Belleville washer

Blast resistant mine

A blast resistant mine is a landmine (intended for anti-tank or anti-personnel purposes) with a fuze which is designed to be insensitive to the shock wave from a nearby explosion. Minimum metal mine and blast resistant mine are land mines.

See Minimum metal mine and Blast resistant mine

Demining

Demining or mine clearance is the process of removing land mines from an area.

See Minimum metal mine and Demining

Detonation

Detonation is a type of combustion involving a supersonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it.

See Minimum metal mine and Detonation

Detonator

A detonator, sometimes called a blasting cap in the US, is a small sensitive device used to provoke a larger, more powerful but relatively insensitive secondary explosive of an explosive device used in commercial mining, excavation, demolition, etc.

See Minimum metal mine and Detonator

Explosive booster

An explosive booster is a sensitive explosive charge that acts as a bridge between a (relatively weak) conventional detonator and a low-sensitivity (but typically high-energy) explosive such as TNT.

See Minimum metal mine and Explosive booster

Fuze

In military munitions, a fuze (sometimes fuse) is the part of the device that initiates its function.

See Minimum metal mine and Fuze

Glasmine 43

The Glasmine 43 was an anti-personnel mine with a glass body used by the Nazi Germany during World War II.

See Minimum metal mine and Glasmine 43

Glass

Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid.

See Minimum metal mine and Glass

Glass-ceramic

Glass-ceramics are polycrystalline materials produced through controlled crystallization of base glass, producing a fine uniform dispersion of crystals throughout the bulk material.

See Minimum metal mine and Glass-ceramic

Gram

The gram (originally gramme; SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.

See Minimum metal mine and Gram

Land mine

A land mine, or landmine, is an explosive weapon concealed under or camouflaged on the ground, and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets, ranging from combatants to vehicles and tanks, as they pass over or near it. Minimum metal mine and land mine are land mines.

See Minimum metal mine and Land mine

List of land mines

This is a list of commonly used land mines. Minimum metal mine and list of land mines are land mines.

Metal detector

A metal detector is an instrument that detects the nearby presence of metal.

Ottawa Treaty

The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction of 1997, known informally as the Ottawa Treaty, the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, or often simply the Mine Ban Treaty, aims at eliminating anti-personnel landmines (APLs) around the world.
