Cost-Effectiveness Comparison of the Retubed M114 and XM198 Cannon Systems.

Abstract

A comparison was made of the ammo cost on the basis of A Division Force Equivalent (DFE) per combat day in Europe and Korea using the retubed M114 and using the XM198. Results were determined for three conditions, i.e., (1) using the most cost-effective projectiles (all calibers), (2) using 8-inch projectiles only for targets beyond the range of 155mm, and (3) when the 8-inch ICM projectile was unavailable.
