155mm Artillery Propulsion XM654
Abstract
The XM654E2 Supercharge is a unitary top-zone 155mm propelling charge optimized and required for use with 58-caliber XM907E2 Extended Range Cannon with Slide-block breech for use with the XM1299 Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) Self-propelled Howitzer (SPH). It will achieve lethality overmatch at ranges of approximately 70km from XM907E2 Extended Range Cannon with developmental extended range projectiles, and will increase range with legacy projectiles by thirty percent. The XM654E2 Supercharge is composed of combustible cases with integral metal Stub Case utilizing existing electrically initiated Tank Primer and advanced artillery propellant. Knowledge points will determine compatibility with automated ammunition handling systems. FY 2020 funds will support design risk reduction and prototype maturation towards Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) to support ERCA SPH Increment 2 and in support of the Army's modernization priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
