The mines were not produced in numerical order, the APM-3 was superseded by the APM-2. The APM-1 is the smallest of the mines, it uses a tripod mounting with a pan and tilt head. The APM-2 uses two scissor type legs to position.

The mines can be command or tripwire activated, and can be fitted with a time delay fuze ranging from one minute to twenty four hours.
