Modular Mine Laying System (MMLS)
The Modular Mine Laying System (MMLS) is an advanced, fully automated solution designed for the deployment of minefields of adequate density. Using launchers mounted on wheeled or tracked platforms, the system disperses mines with exceptional speed, precision, and tactical flexibility. At the heart of the system is an integrated computer based control unit, enabling operators to program, and execute mine laying missions according to predefined tactical scenarios. This automation ensures repeatability, accuracy, and enhanced crew safety during operations.
BELMA, a subsidiary of PGZ, serves as the system’s primary manufacturer, delivering three core components: modular launchers, mine cassettes as well as MN 123 mines - the dedicated anti-tank munitions for MMLS. This ensures full system compatibility, high reliability, and streamlined logistics. The system can be equipped with 4 to 6 launchers, depending on the payload capacity of the vehicle. When fitted with six launchers, the MMLS can deploy up to 600 mines in under 20 minutes, forming a robust area denial zone approximately 180 meters wide and up to 2,000 meters long (depending on the mission profile). This provides rapid, large scale obstruction of enemy armor maneuver.
The MN 123 anti tank mine is equipped with a magnetic fuse, activating beneath an armored vehicle’s contour without requiring direct contact. The mine features a programmable self destruction timer, supporting battlefield safety and post conflict clearance requirements. Additional variants include training version (MN-123/C) and inert mock-up (MN-123/O).
The MMLS can be integrated on a wide range of military vehicles. In the presented configuration, the system is mounted on the Tatra Force CAB T 815–7M3R31 6x6.1R, delivering excellent mobility, durability, and performance in demanding terrain.
