Special Munitions 28 September 2017 ATP 3-09.30 6-11 Table 6-10. Minefield density for RAAMS and ADAM Purpose of Minefield Density Designator for Minefield Planning Sheet Density of Mines Per Square Meter Remote Antiarmor Mine System (RAAMS) Harassment Low 0.001 Minefield covered by heavy direct fire Medium 0.002 Minefield covered by light direct fire High 0.004 Area Denial Artillery Munitions (ADAM) Used with RAAMS or other antitank obstacles or for harassment Low 0.0005 Minefield covered by heavy direct fire Medium 0.001 Minefield covered by light direct fire High 0.002 Note. A density of 0.001 gives an average on one mine in every 1,000 square meters of minefield or one mine in every 32 X 32 meter square. SELECTION OF SD TIME 6-49. The selection of the SD time is based on several considerations: Scheme of maneuver (current as well as future operations). Type of minefield (planned or standard target of opportunity). Minefield location. Tactical situation (offense or defense). Nature of adversary forces. Availability of projectiles. Time frame involved. Command authority to emplace scatterable mines. TARGET LOCATION 6-50. Location and placement of the minefield is determined by the commander to support the scheme of maneuver. MOVING TARGET AIMPOINT 6-51. Place the aimpoint for a moving target directly in front of the adversary axis of advance 1,000 meters in front of the adversary target for every 10 kilometers per hour of speed as shown in figure 6-5 on page 6- 12. This allows enough time for mine delivery and arming before an adversary passed through the minefield.
