Volcano Multiple Delivery Mine System
The Volcano is a mass scatterable mine delivery system that delivers mines by helicopter or ground vehicle. It enables tactical
commanders to emplace antitank/antipersonnel (AT/AP) or pure AT minefields with a minimum of personnel. A Soldier-selectable,
self-destruct mechanism destroys the mine at the end of its active lifecycle – 4 hours to 15 days – depending on the time selected.
Using a ground vehicle, a 1,000-meter minefield can be laid in 4 to 12 minutes based on terrain and vehicle speed. A helicopter can
complete the mission in 20 seconds. Advantages of this system include faster response, increased lethality, greater efficiency and
enhanced safety.
