30mm MMPA M-SHORAD INC 3

Abstract

30mm Multi-Mode Proximity Airburst (MMPA) Maneuver Short Range Air Defense Increment 3 (M-SHORAD INC 3): The 30mm MMPA M-SHORAD INC 3 / Project DC9 funds the development of the XM1223 30x113mm MMPA munition. The objective is to enhance the operational effectiveness of the M-SHORAD Inc 3 platform, and any other Joint Force Fighting Vehicle that is equipped with a 30x113mm weapon system. The programmable fuze modes in the munition include proximity airburst to defeat personnel in the open and small Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) targets, proximity delay to defeat personnel in defilade, gated proximity airburst for cluttered environments, mechanical point detonate to defeat light materiel targets, and self destruct to minimize collateral damage. The XM1223 will allow the M-SHORAD Inc 3 to conduct counter-UAS missions while retaining the ability to quickly transition to ground targets. Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 funding supports XM1223 Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract awards, development, Preliminary Design Review (PDR), and building prototypes for Design Engineering Testing (DET).
