M829E4 120mm Cartridge
Abstract
The M829E4 cartridge is an Abrams delivered Line of Sight (LOS) munition that will provide capability for the current force Armored Brigade Combat Team's (ABCT) commander to conduct decisive operations and destroy current and future enemy Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) equipped with Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) and Active Protective System (APS) at ranges from 0-2km (T) and 0-4km (O). The M829E4 equips ABCT commanders with a unique capability which will increase the ABCT's lethality and ability to seize the initiative during unified land operations. After a Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Phase I competitive shoot off in FY 2011 ATK was awarded the option to continue with Phase II until its conclusion in FY 2014. FY 2012 supported the continuation of Phase II of the M829E4 cartridge. FY 2013 funding supports design finalization, design verification, fabrication and testing of Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) hardware. The full performance of the M829E4 is obtained with an Abrams equipped Ammunition Data Link breech modification. FY 2014 supports conducting hardware and performance testing, mandated Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and completion of Milestone C.
