The Stonefish influence mine is manufactured by a British company (BAE Systems). Originally, the weapon was supplied to the Royal Navy, but it has also been exported to friendly countries such as Australia, which has both warstock and training versions of Stonefish. There has been conjecture that South Africa, Chile, Iraq, Libya and possibly other countries may have gained access to either some early Stonefish information or to similar technology. The mine is named after the stonefish, a venomous fish of the same name. ==Design== Stonefish mines generally have two suspension lugs in order to facilitate handling operations e.g. winching. They can be deployed by fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, surface vessels and submarines. It is a cylindrically shaped, modular weapon, comprising three separate sections which are joined together to form one unit: * launching system (e.g. nose fairing, tail-fin unit, parachute-pack and arming lanyards for air-dropped delivery) * electronics pack (incorporating safety/arming devices, target processing computer and associated fuze mechanisms) * aluminised PBX high explosive warhead 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stonefish (mine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
