What Does FASCAM Stand For?

FASCAM stands for Field Artillery Scatterable Mines

FASCAM, or Field Artillery Scatterable Mines, refers to a type of munition designed for area denial and to disrupt enemy movement. These mines are deployed from artillery systems, allowing for rapid and widespread distribution over a designated terrain. FASCAM munitions typically comprise a combination of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, which can remain active for extended periods before being deactivated or rendered safe. This capability enhances the tactical flexibility of ground forces by creating a temporary obstacle for adversaries while minimizing the risk to friendly troops.
