CBU-89 Gator

The GATOR mine system is a US system of air-dropped anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, that was developed in the 1980s to be compatible with existing cluster dispensers. It is used with two dispenser systems - the Navy 500 lb CBU-78/B and the Air Force 1,000 lb CBU-89/B. Additionally the mines are used with the land and helicopter based Volcano mine system. The mines self-destruct after a preset period of 4 hours, 15 hours or 15 days. Any that do not will be rendered disabled after 40 days when the batteries expire. The self-destruct time is set just prior to aircraft takeoff using a simple selector switch on the dispenser.

@Frederf220 too bad in most cases the built in auto destruct mechanism fails but the thing can stuill go off when disturbed.

@Barnekkid They already do. That's the only reason we're allowed to use land mines at all legally, they have auto destruct/deactivate systems built in.
