Anti-personnel (AP) mines
AP explosive devices are intended to deny dismounted movement and create risk for infantry operating on foot. They are generally small, often resembling a grenade and may have a pressure plate or trip wire to activate. Both victim and operator systems for detonation may be used.
AP devices are often used to shape infantry movement and may be present in clusters or integrated into broader defensive setups. Clearance enables freedom of movement but may require coordination with manoeuvre elements to maintain security during the process.
