M483, 155-mm howitzer shell
A primary tool used for countermobility by the force are scatterable mines. The FASCAM systems include:
- Area denial artillery munition (ADAM) (M731) is an artillery-delivered, AP mine activated by deployed tripwires. A single M483, 155-mm howitzer shell dispenses 36 ADAM mines.
- Remote antiarmor mine (RAAM) (M741) is an artillery-delivered antiarmor magnetically activated by passing vehicles. A single M483, 155-howitzer round dispenses 9 RAAMs.
