155mm Artillery Propulsion XM654

Abstract

Supercharge is a stand-alone top-zone 155 millimeter (mm) propelling charge required to achieve maximum range requirements from the Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) Self-Propelled Howitzer (SPH). Supercharge will achieve lethality overmatch out to 70 kilometers (km) with developmental extended range projectiles, and will potentially increase range with compatible legacy projectiles up to thirty percent. Supercharge is composed of an earlier bag variant and later combustible cartridge case, integral metal stub case, electrically initiated primer, and advanced artillery propellant. There is no FY 2023 budget request.
