Self-camouflaging cover for land mines - has body with flexible spikes and hooks to pick up and hold natural vegetation

摘要

The self camouflaging cover is for use on land mines. When delivered ready for sowing, or dropping from an aircraft, the mine has a protective outer cover (15). This can be removed or ejected and exposes rows of spikes and/or hooks (14) over the surface (6). These projections are flexible and made from steel, their dimensions being approx. 0.2-0.7mm diameter and 2-3mm long. They are intended to pick up and hold natural vegetation, clumps of earth and grass, to disguise the outline of the mine.
