When is the anti-tampering device activated on the SLAM?

The anti-tampering device on the SLAM (Smart, Long-Range, Anti-Tank Mine) is activated in Side Attack and Mine Mode because these modes present specific operational scenarios where the risk of tampering is heightened.

In Side Attack and Mine Mode, the system must ensure that any attempts to disturb or manipulate it are met with an appropriate response to prevent unauthorized modifications that could alter its intended functionality. The activation of the anti-tampering device in these modes enhances operational security and ensures that the device carries out its mission effectively without being compromised.

The other options may imply activation conditions that do not align with the intent and functionalities of the anti-tampering features designed to protect the SLAM in scenarios where it could be vulnerable. Therefore, only Side Attack and Mine Mode support the requirements for anti-tampering protection.
