M67 (G881) Fragmentation Hand Grenade
Abstract
The M67 Hand Grenade uses the M213 fuze which does not meet Insensitive Munitions (IM) requirements. This program is a modernization effort that will replace the legacy M67 with a new IM compliant system which greatly increases the safety of the warfighter as it will make the M67 less susceptible to inadvertent detonation. This effort will evaluate potential IM compliant foreign fuze candidates as a replacement to the current M213 fuze and incorporate an IM compliant explosive fill. The new IM compliant fuze and explosive fill will be qualified for incorporation into the M67 design and the TDP will be updated. The M67 is an enabler for Soldier Lethality as it provides Soldiers with a highly effective capability that is easy to throw and can produce casualties to enemy combatants via a 15 meter fragmentation radius. This capability allows for increased lethality of dismounted Soldiers making the unit more efficient and lethal.
