For a landmine with blast activation, which fuzing types are listed?

• A. Pressure
• B. Cmd Det
• C. Pressure, Influence
• D. Tilt rod

Answer: (C)

Blast-activated mines can respond to more than one initiating method. A pressure fuze triggers from direct physical load, like a person stepping on the mine. An influence fuze detects an external stimulus near the mine—such as magnetic or seismic cues—and can detonate without direct contact. When a mine is described as having blast activation with both pressure and influence fuzes, it means it can be triggered either by being stepped on or by an external influence reaching its sensing threshold. Tilt rod is a specific type of pressure-trigger mechanism, but the listing that best describes the activation modalities for a blast-activated mine is the combination of pressure and influence. Command detonation is remote initiation, not a blast-activation type.
