FCS Mounted Combat System (MCS) Ammunition

Abstract

The Advanced Multi Purpose (AMP) program is a direct fire line of sight 120mm large caliber munition to be developed for the Abrams Main Battle Tank. It has three modes of operation including point detonate, delay and airburst. AMP is the material solution for breaching reinforced concrete walls and defeating Anti Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) teams from 50m to 2000m (T) and 50m to 4500m (O), a validated gap that cannot currently be met with existing stockpiled ammunition. The funding in FY 2012 studied the integration implications with the Abrams Tank. Project no longer has funding.
