Reduced Range Small Caliber Training Ammunition
Abstract
The Reduced Range Small Caliber Training Ammunition (RRTA) program is a critical technology development in response to the 7.62mm and .50 Caliber Capabilities Development Documents (CDD). The overall objective of the RRTA program is to develop and field 7.62mm RRTA cartridges that will provide a ballistic match to M80A1 and M62A1 cartridges to standard training ranges, while reducing the maximum range of the ammunition. This will allow soldiers to train with 7.62mm weapons on restricted ranges. The RRTA cartridge will be designed to be compatible with all Army 7.62mm weapons, but specifically optimized to work in the M240 Machine Gun. After the 7.62mm cartridge is matured. FY 2017 dollars support Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction in preparation for a TRL 6 demonstration and preparation for Milestone B.
