ADAMS projectiles are configured with how many anti-personnel mines per round?

• A. 18
• B. 36
• C. 12
• D. 48

Answer: (B)

ADAMS rounds are built to deliver a dense, uniform field of anti-personnel mines, and the payload per round is 36 mines. This number is chosen to create effective area denial coverage while staying within the dispenser’s mechanical limits and maintaining reliable deployment in flight. The arrangement ensures the mines spread out quickly after firing, producing a predictable barrier to slow or funnel movement in the targeted area. If you use fewer mines, the field becomes too sparse to be reliably effective; using more would exceed the design capacity and could compromise deployment reliability.
