The PARM 1 (DM12) and its improved version (DM22) is a German off-route mine that fires a fin stabilized rocket.
In June 1988 it was accepted into service with the Bundeswehr, with the Army receiving the first batch of 25,000 between 1991 and 1994.
[citation needed] The German Ministry of Defense signed a contract with TDW in October 2023 to deliver mines to replace those sent to Ukraine, restarting DM22 production for the first time since 1998.
The rocket has a velocity of approximately 120 metres per second (390 ft/s; 270 mph), and has a claimed armour penetration of 600 millimetres (24 in).
[4] The PARM 2 incorporates an infrared sensor, the SAPIR, which acts to accurately fire the rocket to ranges up to 100 metres (330 ft).
