The Remote Anti-Armor Mine System (RAAMS) are two types of 155 mm howitzer projectiles containing nine anti-tank mines each. They were developed for the United States Army around 1980. [ 1 ]
The duration of the active life varies from 4 hours to 15 days depending on the system. [1] Systems that are part of the FASCAM range include: Remote Anti-Armor Mine System (RAAMS) (a 155 mm howitzer shell) Area Denial Artillery Munition (ADAM) (a 155 mm howitzer shell) GATOR mine system (air dropped) Volcano mine system (various vehicles)
The mines carried by these projectiles are the M67 long-duration anti-personnel mines and M72 short-duration anti-personnel landmines intended to maim or kill enemy combatants. The duration refers to the self-destruct time, which is set at the time of manufacture to 4 or 48 hours. Once the mine lands, it launches seven tripwires before arming ...
The M718 and M741 Remote Anti-Armor Mine System (RAAMS) are anti-tank mine scattering projectiles. They share the carrier shell of the M483A1 DPICM and instead carry 9 anti-tank mines. They are no longer produced or in service although it is assessed the US maintains stockpiles. [30] United States: M795: 1998-current

The RCH-155 module is very similar to the Artillery Gun Module (AGM, Artillerie-Geschütz-Modul), but has a lower profile. [3] The AGM was designed to have the firepower of the PzH 2000 in an air-portable package with the A400M aircraft this was possible when installed on an ASCOD-2 platform (known as the DONAR).
The M136 Volcano Vehicle-Launched Scatterable Mine System is an automated mine delivery system developed by the United States Army in the 1980s. The system uses prepackaged mine canisters which contain multiple anti-personnel (AP) and/or anti-tank (AT) mines which are dispersed over a wide area when ejected from the canister.
M7 Spider MCU with 3 MGLs. The system is composed of Munition Control Units (MCUs), [2] a Remote Control Station (RCS), and a repeater for extending the communication range. . Up to 63 MCUs can be configured for each
