Patent ID: 8047135

Claim:
A projectile comprising: a high-explosive payload; a first triggering device, wherein the first triggering device is triggered by contact with a mine; a first time-delay fuse that provides a relatively shorter time delay, wherein expiration of the relatively shorter time delay results in detonation of the high-explosive payload, and wherein the first time-delay fuse is initiated when the first triggering device is triggered, and; a second triggering device, wherein the second triggering device is triggered by overburdening exposure to water, sand, or soil; and a second time-delay fuse that provides a relatively longer time delay, wherein expiration of the relatively longer time delay results in detonation of the high-explosive payload, and wherein the second time-delay fuse is initiated when the second triggering device is triggered; wherein the first triggering device and the second triggering device are co-axial sleeves that are independently movable in an axial direction.
