Anti-tank mines consist of a container (wood, plastic or metal), a detonator, an arming system or device, a firing device and a substantial charge of high explosive—sufficient to disable or destroy an armored vehicle, generally from below.

The more than 100 countries that signed the Ottawa treaty banning landmines, determined that they would destroy existing military stockpiles, cease manufacturing them or selling them, and make every possible de-mining effort to unearth and destroy buried mines. De-mining operators need accurate replica representations of actual anti-tank mines, and information on how they function and their specific hazards.

We have a number of such replicas, some made by us and others made by several affiliated companies. They are accurate in terms of dimensions, color and weight. Some types are now in development to be functional, reactive and indicative, from a trainee and instructor point of view. Buried in the ground in a simulated minefield, they will send a radio signal if disturbed in a way that, if live, would have resulted in a detonation and casualties.

We also offer a series of full-color technical posters and mine awareness publications.
