Unreferenced date December 2009 The M93 HORNET mine is an United States American anti tank mine , it is a wide area mine, capable of attacking targets up to 100 meters away from its position. Development A development contract was awarded to Honeywell Honeywell Defense Systems and Textron Textron Inc. in August 1987. In April 1990 Textron was given the contract to complete development of the system. See also, Norm. Description The M93 uses both seismic and acoustic sensors to track and identify potential targets near the mine. Once the mine detects a suitable target in range, the mine turns to face the target and elevates the submunition launcher to the correct angle. The submunition is then fired in the direction of the target using a gas generator. An infra red sensor on the submunition scans the ground as it travels, searching for the target. When the target is detected the submunition triggers a Misznay Schardin effect warhead that projects a 450 gram tantalum slug, along with a number of smaller fragments top attack downwards towards the target in a top attack .
