Next Generation Combat Vehicle Ammunition
Abstract
50x228 millimeter (mm) family of ammunition is a critical technology development in response to the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) Abbreviated Capability Development Document for weapon qualification, platform integration, and fielding of the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) primary weapon system (XM913). This effort includes the development of three capabilities: The XM1202 Target Practice with Trace (TP-T); the XM1203 Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Trace (APFSDS-T); and the XM1204 High Explosive Airburst with Trace (HEAB-T). The training cartridge will allow the Warfighter to train in a cost effective manner and the tactical cartridges will provide enhanced lethality at increased ranges when engaging personnel threats in the open, defilade, and under the cover of urban structures, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) teams, and current and projected future peer armored materiel threats. This effort is operating under Middle Tier Acquisition authority for rapid prototyping to qualify the three munitions in order to support the NGCV Cross Functional Team (CFT) timeline for First Unit Equipped (FUE). Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 funds support preparation activities for prototype fielding / materiel release on the XM1202 TP-T variant. In addition, FY 2024 funds supports conducting Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), building tests assets for Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and preparing for prototype fielding on the XM1203 APFSDS-T variant. FY 2024 funds also supports building test assets and conducting DT&E on the XM1204 HEAB-T variant. The total cost of the Next Generation Combat Vehicle Ammunition (NGCV) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $310.9 million from FY2020 to FY2028, including RDT&E ($128.804M) and Procurement ($182.182M). NGCV RDT&E and Procurement are fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program (FY2024-2028).
