Unknown Mine Switch

So I recently picked this up and am really curious as to what it goes to.

All electronic, and doesn't actually fire the mine, just arms it. Once the item is in the armed position, it doesn't go back. Has a C and D cell, and without the batteries it is very light. No handles, or anything that looks like it hooks to a vehicle.

Has an input for the mine and one for a receiver.

Just strange.

I saw the exact same thing on ebay last week,it was described as for a unit that was slung under a helicopter,for a mine dispenser
 
The M56 Mine Dispersing Subsystem (ATAV dispensed mines) had five different test kits for the system, while this one is similar to one of them it is not a match.
