Adv Armor-Piercing (ADVAP) for Small Caliber Ammo
Abstract
The Advanced Armor-Piercing (ADVAP) program is a critical technology development in response to the 7.62mm and 5.56mm Family of Ammunition Capabilities Development Documents (CDD). The nomenclature for the 7.62mm ADVAP is now XM1158 and the companion trace is XM1159. The overall objective of the ADVAP program is to develop and Full Materiel Release (FMR) a 7.62mm XM1158 cartridge linked 4:1 with a trace cartridge (XM1159) followed by a 5.56mm cartridge variant that will provide overmatch capability to defeat advanced light armored threats within typical machine gun ranges. The 7.62mm XM1158 and XM1159 cartridges will be optimized for use in the M240 Machine Gun. FY 2018 funding supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts to include maturing manufacturing as well as optimization of the XM1158 and XM1159 cartridge designs.
