Bottom mine induced action Murena from the company RWM Italia


The division of Rhheinmetall Defense, RWM Italia, specializes in underwater weapons; at DSEI 2013, three products from this company were presented. Murena (moray eel) is a induced bottom mine that can be installed at a depth of up to 300 meters, although working depths are from 100 to 150 meters. Murena has a modular design, on the one hand it has a battery that allows the mine to be in operation for a year. A warhead weighing from 200 to 800 kg is placed in the middle, and a target detection device is installed on the other side of the mine. The latter is sensitive to acoustic, magnetic disturbances and pressure changes, although it also has optical and seismic sensors, underwater potential difference sensors to counter mine clearance by divers, and underwater robots. If Murena mines are aimed at combating submarines and surface ships, then Piovra (octopus) is a magnetic mine designed to combat surface targets. In the Piovra mine, a charge of an insensitive explosive C4 or PBXN-109 weighing 6 kg is installed; it is attached by a swimmer or diver to the ship's hull using magnets, vacuum suction cups, or anchor hooks. Up to six Piovra mines can be connected into a single explosive chain. The mechanical cocking delay guarantees a safe time for evacuation of more than 30 minutes, while the electronic timer can be used to set the detonation time within the next 48 hours.


Piovra Magnetic Mine


Piovra can be programmed under water and while its buoyancy in water is a neutral operator can set it up before a combat mission. RWM Italia also introduced its DC103 Diver Scare Charge explosive device to scare swimmers and divers, as well as the DC103 Marine Sound Signal underwater alarm device.

The first device is available with two different charges - 250 or 450 grams of insensitive explosive RDW / Wax or DPX-1. The standard depth of the blast is 5 meters, although at the request of the customer different depths can be set; the affected area is over 30 meters. The underwater signaling device is used to maintain communication with submarines; a small charge of all 30 grams is installed into it, which is undermined at a depth of 10,7 meters; this device is worth the same fuse, which is installed in the "repeller" divers. All these systems are in service, although the buyers of these systems remain unknown.

    and who knows how the project is progressing in the installation of containers with ballistic missiles in the depths of the sea instead of mine

    As far as I know, nuclear weapons are forbidden to be installed on the seabed.
    On the moon too. smile

      Until the end of June, factory tests of the latest Skif ballistic missile, capable of being in standby mode on the sea and ocean bottom and at the right time by command to shoot and hit ground and sea targets, will begin in the White Sea.

        And how many resources must be used to protect it? Even in inland seas. In addition, the water column cannot be compared with the stability of launching shafts. It looks like a dough cut.

        Ballistic is more difficult due to its large size.
        But cruise missiles packed in containers can be displayed from a submarine.
        Launch to be made when the boat has already left the launch site.
        Thus not allowing itself to be discovered.

    Well, I'm losing weight from commentators: an article about mines, comments about missiles. It would be correct to ask: "Why the hell is there so much shit in the seas, and which of our descendants will then neutralize all this?"

    Murena (moray eel) is a bottom mine of induced action, which can be installed at a depth of up to 300 meters, although working depths range from 100 to 150 meters.
    It is not clear from what depth it takes a surface target, for example, our UDM-2 bends a surface target from 60m, and a boat from 300m.
    on the other side of the mine there is a target detection device. The latter is sensitive to acoustic, magnetic disturbances and pressure changes, although it also has optical and seismic sensors, potential difference sensors underwater in order to counter the clearance of divers and underwater robots.
    Perverts who, in their right mind, will try to mine it with divers or mess with seekers (unless you take it solely for study purposes), and since she is so sensitive to acoustic and magnetic disturbances, then AT-2,3,6 cries ( acoustic trawls) or PEMT (loop electromagnetic), cheap and cheerful! good

    can be installed near the bases, at the entrance, and no one will trawl there with a trawl; A serious thing this manta, than to look for it except for a dolphin? and how to blind? it’s good that until the legs were attached to her. but about the repeller neighing.
