What happens when our enemy digs up our mines after 30days and puts a new battery in, we just handed them a spankin new land mine. |
As soon as the mine reports back to the computer that it has been tampered with, either set one off that has a good battery and is close to him or fire the whole field. Most battery operated devices like cameras or cell phones and such have a small NiMh or NiCd backup battery that is long lived to serve as a backup for the main battery so memory won't be lost when batteries are replaced. Use it to fire the squib by microwave signals.
