Naval mines have been used for centuries to protect countries coastlines and defend from attackers. While you might think of naval mine technology as one of war's past, these underwater devices are still crucial aspects of the modern naval battlefield.

In order to understand this often forgotten aspect of modern warfare, let's take a look at what different ways to actuate a naval mine

Understanding how mines are actuated is crucial to understanding how to protect against them and how to use them. Each type of actuation relies on sensors that are placed inside of the target detecting device, which ultimately triggers the detonation of the mine.

There are 4 main techniques hinted at earlier: Magnetic, Pressure, Acoustic, and Seismic.
