Advanced Armor-Piercing (ADVAP) for Small Cal Ammo
Abstract
The overall objective of the Advanced Armor Piercing (ADVAP) program is to develop and field a 7.62mm ADVAP cartridge that will provide overmatch capability to defeat lightly armored targets within typical medium caliber machine gun ranges. Current Armor Piercing ammunition performance has been stagnant over the last 20 years, which has led to known deficiencies against current and future hard target threats. The ADVAP cartridge will be designed specifically for use in the M240 Machine Gun and will replace the older M993 Armor Piercing cartridge.
