The VS-SATM1 is an Italian scatterable anti-tank landmine that was produced by Valsella Meccanotecnica SpA.
The mine has six pop-out fins which slow its descent and improve the dispersion characteristics.
The mine uses an electronic fuze with a ten-minute arming delay and a programmable life of between one hour and one year, which is set in one-hour increments.
The fuze is an electronic full-width device that probably uses magnetic and seismic sensors.
The fuze contains an integral anti-handling device to hinder deminers.
