Medium Caliber Ammunition
Abstract
The Target Practice Day/ Night/ Thermal (TP D/N/T) cartridges are 40mm grenade training cartridges. The low velocity variant is for training with the M203/M320 grenade launchers and the high velocity variant is for training with the Mk19 grenade machine gun. Both of these cartridges will provide the War Fighter with a non dud producing, environmentally friendly training cartridge which replicates the impact signature of respective tactical ammunition and can be seen day or night, by the unaided eye or through night vision devices and thermal weapon sights. The program will carry competitive prototypes for each cartridge variant through the Engineering Manufacturing Development phase. In FY 2014 a competition will be held to select the EMD contractors. Afterwards a preliminary design review will be held. Advanced prototypes will be built and tested.
