General Information:
The TR/9 Anti - personnel Mine (TR/9 AP Mine), commonly known to United Nations Space Command forces as the trip mine, "Tripper", "Skippy", "Automatic Guard", "Invisible Fence" or simply "Mine",[2] is a landmine developed by the UNSC.
TR/9 DESIGN & USAGE:
Design:
The TR/9 takes a circular form, with six fins protruding off the side. The center of the disc has another four fins that, when the mine is activated, rotate upward. The mine's activation also sees it light up and emit a high-pitched beeping noise. The mine can use trip wires or laser beams to trigger the detonator, when something large enough gets within range. Despite its flower-like appearance, the TR/9 trip mine is not the Lotus anti-tank mine.
Usage:
The trip mine is employed for defensive usage, and is used in siege warfare and guerrilla tactics. They are used in the defense of perimeters or placed alongside enemy paths.
"A simple proximity mine that reacts to pressure or movement."

In game and in lore, the TR/9 trip mine was originally developed for UNSC forces, though as with many pieces of equipment, was often stolen and deployed by Covenant loyalist Jiralhanae forces during the later stages of the Human-Covenant War. Jiralhanae equipped with these mines were deployed during the Battle for Earth and Battle of Installation 00 in late 2552. In the post-war era, Jiralhanae Jumpers allied with Merg Vol's Covenant also employed the TR/9 trip mines.
