Abstract: An antipersonnel mine having a pressure sensitive explosive diluted and dnsitized by an inert bulking agent and a volatile liquid to temporarily unarm the explosive until the volatile liquid is evaporated. A method for desensitizing the mine by addition of the volatile liquid before the explosive sensitizer is added.

Abstract: The invention relates to a munition system, which can be dropped from airft and is capable of scanning the ground for military targets; e.g., tanks and vehicles, and then directionally propelling a projectile at the target when it locates one. The munition system includes a housing, which contains an explosive warhead capable of directionally propelling a projectile, a directional sensing fuze in alignment with the path of the projectile, and a parachute to retard the descent and induce rotation of the housing at a predetermined rate, whereby the sensing fuze has sufficient time to scan the ground along a spiral path for military targets.
