The mines in SPMB are stored in palletized containers housed inside the vehicle. A burying mechanism is installed at the stern of the vehicle. The commander can select the type of mine from a panel and it moves on a conveyor belt. An arming device arms the mines before it is buried in the ground. The system carry around 480 mines and can bury 240 mines in an hour.<ref name="toi"/><ref name="drdo">{{Cite web |url=http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs/RDE(E)/English/index.jsp?pg=achieve.jsp |title=DRDO |access-date=18 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210092745/http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs/RDE(E)/English/index.jsp?pg=achieve.jsp |archive-date=10 February 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> | The mines in SPMB are stored in palletized containers housed inside the vehicle.

The SPMB can lay four types of anti-tank mines such as ND MK-1, Indian magnetic influence mine [[Adrushy mine| Adrushy MK-I]], [[Adrushy mine-II]] and [[France|French]] electrically fuzed [[HPD series of mines|HPD F2]]. The prototype of the system has been developed and as of 2009 it was in trials.<ref name="drdo"/> | The SPMB can lay four types of anti-tank mines such as ND MK-1, Indian magnetic influence mine [[Adrushy mine|Adrushy MK-I]], [[Adrushy mine-II]] and [[France|French]] electrically fuzed [[HPD series of mines|HPD F2]].
