Description
The mines in SPMB are stored in palletized containers housed inside the vehicle. A burying mechanism is installed at the stern of the vehicle. The commander can select the type of mine from a panel and it moves on a conveyor belt. An arming device arms the mines before it is buried in the ground. The system carry around 480 mines and can bury 240 mines in an hour.[1][4] The SPMB can lay four types of anti-tank mines such as ND MK-1, Indian magnetic influence mine Adrushy MK-I, Adrushy mine-II and French electrically fuzed HPD F2. The prototype of the system has been developed and as of 2009 it was in trials.[4]
