Area-denial Definition

adjective

Referring to devices, typically weapons, intended to prevent an adversary from occupying or traversing a certain area of land.

An area-denial mine might not kill a soldier, but will severely restrict, slow down, or endanger a tank. Most area-denial weapons can also pose long-lasting risks to anyone also entering the area, specifically to civilians, even years after they were first set up.
