155-MM Artillery Rearm Module with Liquid Propellant, Phase 1.

Abstract

A summary of the concept study and preliminary design for an improved 155-mm artillery rearm module (ARM) is presented. This module is to be an improvement over a 155-mm ARM designed, fabricated, and tested under previous contract (DAAA21-88-C-0161). The trade-off study effort involving liquid propellant (XM46) handling and storage concepts is discussed. The rearranging of the projectile handling magazines developed under previous contract (DAAA21-91- C-0082) is also discussed. The preliminary design of the configuration selected on the basis of the trade study is presented. Automated resupply, 155-mm Ammunition, Computerized ammunition selection, Liquid propellant, LGP1846, XM46, Artillery resupply, Ammunition storage.
