Pop-Up Adapter for the M23 Chemical Land Mine

Abstract

Mines of all types are, and have been, an integral and indispensable element of all combat operations and are of particular interest in the present-day, limited-type war. Until the mine is replaced by other devices, tactics, or techniques of superior over-all performance, there will be a continuing interest in methods for the improvement of the capabilities of mines. The 'Pop-Up' adapter to the M23 Chemical Land Mine has been developed to improve its efficiency. The 'Pop-Up' adapter provides for air burst of the standard M23 Mine, resulting in greatly increased area coverage to a useful level.
