M111 Offensive Hand Grenade - Alternative Explosive Fill
Abstract
This effort will qualify an alternative explosive fill for the M111 Offensive Hand Grenade, which replaces the MK3A2 Offensive Hand Grenade due to asbestos concerns with the legacy grenade. The alternate fill will mitigate availability risk of the current M111 fill, PAX-3, which is a single point failure within the production of the M111 Offensive Hand Grenade. The M111 is an enabler for soldier lethality as it provides Soldiers a capability to produce blast overpressure effects against enemy troops in indoor areas, bunkers, trench lines and tunnels. This capability allows for increased lethality of dismounted Soldiers making the unit more efficient and lethal.
