Shoulder-Launched Munitions
Abstract
This development effort will combine the capabilities of the existing M141 Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM) and the 84MM Anti-Tank 4 Confined Space - Reduced Sensitivity (AT4CS-RS), eliminating the mission risk associated with having to choose between two different capability SLMs, reducing the logistics and training burdens associated with multiple systems. The Individual Assault Munition (IAM) system consists of the tactical XM919 IAM munition and training devices including the XM922 sub-caliber trainer, sub-caliber tracer ammunition, Field Handling Trainer (FHT), Field Tactical Trainer (FTT) and Soldier Virtual Trainers (SVT). The tactical XM919 IAM supports the close fight in urban and complex terrain, allowing Soldiers a fire-from-enclosure (FFE) capability to defeat field expedient structures such as earth and timber bunkers, reinforced concrete, adobe and triple brick walls with behind the wall lethality effects as well as defeating light armored vehicles. The IAM training devices provide training capability to increase the Soldier's proficiency and integration of the XM919 tactical system into combat operations. The XM919 IAM enables the Army's Soldier Lethality Modernization Line of Effort (LOE) by reducing Soldier load, while providing tactical innovation capable of extending overmatch against peer/near-peer adversaries in a joint, multi-domain, high-intensity conflict.
