System Description
MANTA is a multi-influence shallow
water sea mine, designed to be effective
against landing crafts and small-mid
tonnage vessels. The mine can be laidby surface vessels,
helicopters and
aircraft. The unique shape, the low
target strength and magnetic signature
make MANTA very difficult to detect.
MANTA has been combat proven with
excellent performance. The mine logic
is based upon a state of the art analysisof the target acoustic
and magnetic
influences. The option of a cable remote
control increases the flexibility ofdeployment in harbour,
strait or port
defence.
