Acoustic Sensor
The sensitivity of the acoustic sensor is no more than 0.6 decibels, which makes it possible to detect and confidently select the noise of the motors of a motor-hang-glider at a distance of 0.6 km, a helicopter up to 3.2 km.
Noise Selection System
The noise selection system makes it possible to distinguish the sound of an aero plane engine or a helicopter against the background noise of ground-based engines, explosions and firing. If the noise is recognized as the noise of an airborne motor, then when the target approaches a distance of less than 1 km, the warhead turns toward the target and the infrared sensors of the target (4-6 sensors) are activated, which determine the exact direction and distance to the target.
Target Area
When a target enters the affected area (a hemisphere with a radius of 150 meters), the landmine detonates producing a shaped-charge (SC) moving at a speed of about 2500 km / h hits the target.
Note
The combination of simultaneous operation of acoustic and infrared sensors eliminates the response of landmines to thermal anti-missile traps fired by the target.
