What are the different fuzing for submunition, scatt mine?

• A. Pressure, Pull, Influence
• B. Impact, Impact Inertia
• C. Cmd Det
• D. VT/Impact

Answer: (A)

The triggering methods for submunitions and scatter mines are typically grouped by how the fuze detects a target or trigger event: load on a pressure sensor, a pull or tension action, or an environmental influence such as proximity to a target. Pressure fuzes respond to weight or pressure on a plate, which is common when a device rests on or compresses a surface. Pull fuzes activate when a line or cord is pulled, often used with tripwire-like systems. Influence fuzes sense nearby environmental cues—magnetic fields, seismic activity, or proximity to a target—and detonate without direct contact.

These three cover the main ways such munitions sense engagement with a target. Other fuze types—like direct impact or inertia-based, remote command detonation, or timed (VT) fuzes—exist in various ordnance, but they are not the standard set used to describe the typical fuzing of submunitions and scatter mines.
