Abstract
A proximity detector mine system comprises a mine depolyable on the ground and including a propellant device effective upon actuation to propel the mine above the ground, explosive material, a detonator for detonating the explosive material a predetermined time after the propellant has been actuated, a sound sensor producing electrical signals in response to the sound sensed thereby, and a processor for processing the electrical signals and for actuating the propellant device in response to the electrical signals received from the sound sensor.
