219:: the M89 is designed for training and fault diagnosis, and is painted blue with no colour bands. It has the same physical specifications as the M87 but is completely inert and does not contain any mines, and can be used in training of loading and unloading operations as well as practice flights for dispensing aircraft in laying minefields. To make up for the lack of mines, the canister has heavy steel wall construction and weighs the same as the M87 canister so that the dispensing aircraft's flight characteristics are the same as if carrying live ordnance. The M89 can also be used for system fault diagnosis and training; the end cap (i.e. the opposite end to the breech assembly) has a rotary selector switch (set with a flat-blade screwdriver) with four positions that: 260:: The DCU is the central control panel for the Volcano mine dispensing system, providing controls for the arming sequence and the delivery speed selection, initiate the arming sequence and set the self-destruct time for the mines. The DCU allows the operator to start and stop mine dispensing at anytime, and counter indicates the number of canisters remaining on each rack. The operator also uses the DCU to perform fault isolation tests on the system. For aircraft-mounted installations i.e. Air Volcano, the start-stop firing switch is located on the pilot and co-pilot's joysticks or cyclic sticks, allowing either pilot to initiate or stop the dispensing of mines., and the DCU has an additional switch for selecting the aircraft's dispensing speed. 243: 22: 192:
connects to the dispenser. Canisters (live) are painted green (FS34079) with a band of yellow and black triangles near the breech end. The mines in each canister are electrically connected by a nylon web that also functions as a lateral dispersion device as the mines exit the canister. Spring fingers mounted on each mine prevent the mine from coming to rest on edge. Upon coming to rest, each mine has a delayed arming time of 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Each mine canister has a variable self destruct with three settings of 4 hours, 48 hours or 15 days, preset prior to dispensing.
254:: The dispenser consists of four launching racks that are mounted to the dispensing vehicle or aircraft. Each rack can hold up to 40 M87 mine canisters. Each canister contains six mines, so the total capacity for the dispenser is 960 mines. Mine canisters are physically and electrically connected to the mounting racks. The racks provide the structural strength and the mechanical support required for launch and provide the electrical interface between the mine canisters and the DCU. The load/reload time for an experienced four-man crew is approximately 20 minutes. 297: 30: 826: 364: 156: 372: 840: 213:: the M88 has the same physical specifications as the M87, but contains six inert training mines with the same physical dimensions as those contained with the M87. As the practice canister has the same amount of propellant as the M87, it produces mine dispersal patterns the same as those of the live ordnance so as to allow practice of laying minefields. The M88 is painted blue with a brown band near the end cap which has a brown ring with a large blue dot in the centre. 66: 148: 886: 164: 709: 186:. AP mines have an electrical fusing circuit triggered by a trip wire; each mine deploys eight trip wires (four on the top and four on the bottom) after ground impact up to 12 metres (39 feet) from the mine. AT mines have a magnetically induced fuse and do not have anti-disturbance devices; however, they are highly sensitive to movement once they are armed and any attempt to remove the mines will likely result in detonation. 808: 140: 380:
may not orient correctly when dispensed and not deliver their full blast effect. However, the probability of mines failing the arming sequence or not orienting correctly is relatively small and does not appreciably degrade the minefield lethality. For tracked vehicles entering a Volcano minefield, the AT density yields more than 80 percent probability of the vehicle encountering a mine.
861: 792: 742:. Fence sections should be attached to steel or concrete fence posts set sufficiently into the ground to discourage locals from removing them for their own use. Hazard marking begins no less than 20 meters from the outer perimeter of the minefield with warning signs placed at regular intervals outside of the fenced area. 178:: The M87 mine canister is prepackaged with five AT mines and one AP mine, each mine measuring 12 cm (4.72 in) in diameter and 6 cm (2.36 in) in height. The mixture of mines is fixed and cannot be altered in the field. Each AP mine contains approximately 412 grams (14.5 ounces) of explosives, mostly 379:
The Volcano system can emplace a minefield with an average density of 0.72 mines per metre for AT mines and 0.14 mines per metre for AP mines. The densities will vary slightly due to some mines failing to arm and self-destructing two to four minutes after dispensing. There may also be some mines that

For ground vehicles, mines are dispensed 25 to 60 metres (82 to 197 feet) from the vehicle at ground speeds of 5 to 55 mph (8 to 89 km/h). A constant speed is maintained while the mines are being dispensed so as to attain a consistent mine density. The average time to emplace one load (160

When fitted to an aircraft, mines are dispensed 35 to 70 metres (115 to 230 feet) from the aircraft's flight path. The aircraft flies at a minimum altitude of 5 feet (1.5 metres) at speeds ranging from 20 to 120 knots (37 to 222 kilometres per hour). One aircraft can dispense up to 960 mines per

The Air Volcano DCU has a switch to select the aircraft's dispensing speed, with six airspeed settings - 20, 30, 40, 55, 80, and 120 knots. The recommended airspeed for dispersal is 40 knots; higher airspeeds should only be used if absolutely necessary. The time to dispense a load of Volcano
