RDX (PVV-5A) explosive Length: 226 mm Width: 35 mm Height: 155 mm Fuse #1: Command detonated using PN manual inductor attached by demolition cable to an EDP-R electric detonator. Fuse #2: (one of the following) MUV Series Mechanical Pull MVE-72 Electric Breakwire (battery powered) VP13 Seismic Controller (battery powered) Further information and effects The mine has conventional or advanced seismic influence fuzing. It is a hand laid directional fragmentation mine which is normally command actuated (always secure command wires). The MON-50 is known to be used with the VP13 seismic controller which prevents close approach for any clearance operations, or to a variety of BT fuzes. On detonation, the mine will normally propel lethal fragmentation to a range between 40 and 60 meters, although the actual hazard range for these types of mines can be as high as 300 metres based on U.S. Army tests of the M18A1 Claymore (this is directly in front of the mine, fragmentation range and density drop off to 125 meters to the sides and rear of these mines).
