SSAM traps are best described as which type of surveillance device?

• A. Chemical attractant trap
• B. Mechanical ground-based trap
• C. Solid-state Army miniature (SSAM) trap
• D. Light trap

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing an electronic, compact surveillance tool. SSAM stands for solid-state Army miniature, which describes a small, rugged, electronic surveillance device designed for field data collection. It’s not about luring targets with chemicals, nor about mechanical capture mechanisms, nor about using light to attract subjects. Instead, the solid-state Army miniature trap is an electronic, self-contained surveillance instrument, which is what makes it the correct description.
