Descriptions
Outline Description:
Structure:
The mine is a metal cylinder which houses the electronic and warhead components. The cylinder is encased by a plastic aeroballistic adapter to enhance mine dispersion at release and reduce ground impact force by slowing free fall. A bore rider pin/housing is located slightly off-center on only one cover. The pin is retained in the compressed position by a bore rider retaining clip until release. The opposite cover is blank. Both covers have four tripline ports, located 90 degrees apart. The BLU-92/B (Gator) is an air-delivered, free-fall, bi-directional electromechanically armed antipersonnel (apers) landmine. It is fired by tripline sensors or self-destruct timers. However, some units have an additional antidisturbance feature. This mine is used for rapid large-scale mining, with the potential of being delivered deep behind enemy lines. It is designed to disrupt and disorganize troops, deny utilization of key areas, and thwart mine clearance operations.
