Approved Tech Breshig War Forge Consolidated AM-02 Anti-personnel Mine

[Shuklaar Kyrdol]

PRODUCTION INFORMATION​

• Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated.
• Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities.
• Material: Duraplast frame, combat de-ionizer, Baradium, chemical fuze components, electronics, combat de-ionizer and mine components.

SPECIAL FEATURES​

• Detection and Detonation: Provided no friendly IFF signals are in the detonation zone, the mine will detonate under the following circumstances if any of the following are tripped. The IFF safety feature can be disabled.
  
  • Tripwire: If nay of the tripwires are disturbed, the mine will detonate. The tripwire is wired to a separate mechanical fuze.
  • Gyroscopic Tamper Sensor: A gyroscopic anti-tamper sensor detects if the mine is being disturbed or tampered with and triggers a detonation. This is done via a second mechanical fuze.
  • Seismic Sensor: If any major vibrations are detected, such as those generated by digging, footsteps, repulsors, vehicles or the like are detected within ten meters of the mine, it will detonate. This is done via an electric fuze.
  • 360-degree FOV Electro Photo Receptor: Anything that is detected by the electro photo receptor that approaches within and out to twenty meters of the mine is tracked. If they attempt to withdraw and don't trip any of the other sensors, the mine will be detonated via electric fuze. If they do not, the mine will be detonated once they reach ten meters.
  • EMS Scanner: The mines can be set to detonate only when triggered by specific EM signatures, either those that are uploaded to the mine or ones that are detected by the mine. This is done via an electric fuze.
  • LIDAR: If the LIDAR sensor detects hostile targets within 10 meters, the mine will detonate. This is done via an electric fuze.
• 'Manda' Battlenet-compatible encrypted frequency hopping comm/ptp link: The mine links with other mines in the immediate area and links to the user's HUD suite or a data pad. The mine is also compatible with the 'Manda' Battlenet and will add to the combined sensor picture. The mine can be detonated over remote link as well.
• Power:
  
  • Backup Rylith Power Cell (provides approximately 3 months of use on a full charge)
• Camouflage:
  
  • Multispectrum Disguise Suite and Environment Scanner: The sensor scans the immediate area and then determines what object to best disguise itself as.
• Deployment: The mine can be thrown, placed or launched out of a grenade launcher or dispersed via artillery or other specialized mine dispersal systems. On impact, the mine will deploy its six stabilizing plates fold out and turn the mine upright. Following which four 10m long tripwires are deployed from opposite sides of the mine.
  
  • Propulsion: When dispersed via artillery minelaying rounds or aerial minelayers, the sensors maintain a configurable distance from each other by using their propulsion systems to spread out.
    
    • Micro Repulsor

STRENGTHS​

• Big Boom: The AM-02 has a lethal explosive radius of 10 meters. It has an extremely high damage potential, capable of vaporizing objects within its effective radius form the sheer energy release, and causing intense concussive damage to anything out to 20 meters.
• Multiple Detection Methods: The mine features both mechanical and sensor based detection methods, with the mechanical systems still retaining function in the event that the other systems are disabled.
• Difficult to Disable: Even if any of the electronic sensors are disabled, the tripwire and tamper sensor will still function. Being mechanical, they are extremely difficult to disable without having an intimate knowledge of how the mechanical fuzes function.
• Camouflaged: The mine features an environment scanner tuned multispectrum disguise suite that allows the mine to disguise itself as an object that fits in the immediate environment.

WEAKNESSES​

• Volatile: Baradium is a volatile substance, stray rounds and the like can set off the mine prematurely.
• EMP/Ion/Mechu Deru: The electronic sensors and fuzes are likely to be disabled if hit an EMP/Ion weapon overwhelms the protective measures and certainly can be disabled by use of Mechu Deru.

DESCRIPTION​

The AM-02 is a mine based on the PD/AM-01 Pursuit Denial/Anti-personnel Mine for use as a dedicated anti-personnel mine. This was done specifically for the reason that while the PD/AM-01 worked well use as a pursuit denial munition that doubled as an anti-personnel mine, it was somewhat too easy to detect for the company's preference to perform as an anti-personnel mine when deployed en masse. ​

​

The AM-02 features a number of key differences over the PD/AM-01. Chief among them is the multispectrum disguise suite that is tuned by an integrated environment scanner. This allows the mine to disguise itself as an object that fits in the immediate environment. The mine also adds on an EMS scanner and LIDAR to its detection and detonation methods, greatly reducing evasion chances even further. Otherwise, the mine is essentially the same as the PD/AM-01, flaws and all. ​
