Details of a new seismic emitter developed by Ukraine

  • Ukraine has developed a seismic emitter called Artemida

  • The device is designed to counter mines and minefield control systems that incorporate seismic sensors, such as:

    • POM-3 (Ru: ПОМ-3)

    • UMP-4 (Ru: УМП-4) - that can control POB (Ru: ПОБ), OZM (Ru: ОЗМ) series and MON (Ru: МОН) series mines

  • The Artemida consists of: a ground spike; outer casing; seismic emitter with multiple options; and an end cap

  • It is reportedly dropped by uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) in an area where seismic mines/sensors are believed to be present

  • Once deployed it embeds in the ground via the ground spike, then emits a seismic signal equivalent to a person to trigger nearby mines
