Minas que saltam

São minas que ao serem detonadas se elevam cerca de 1 metro acima do solo e só então rebentam.

bombas terrestres saltantes

"Boundary" does mean fronteira or limite as a noun but the corresponding verb would not be "to bound".

"To bound" is to jump or move quickly. Therefore I would consider a bounding mine to be one that jumps and moves about, wreaking destruction over a larger area.

minas com alvo pré-definido

just a guess.
eu sei que não está lá mas "bound for" quer dizer "destinar-se a", "ir para".
