Adv Armor-Piercing (ADVAP) for Small Caliber Ammo
Abstract
Advanced Armor-Piercing (ADVAP): The ADVAP project 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 XM1158. The overall objective of the ADVAP project is to develop and Full Materiel Release (FMR) both 7.62mm XM1158 cartridge for the M240 machine gun and ADVAP ammunition in calibers below 7.62mm. The objective is to provide overmatch capability to defeat advanced light armored threats within typical machine gun engagement ranges. FY 2019 funding supports continuation of Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts and activities to accelerate the project. Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) Family of Ammunition: The NGSW ammo is a new ammunition technology under development for use in the Next Generation Squad Weapon systems. The objective is to develop and Full Materiel Release (FMR) the new ammunition. FY 2019 funding supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts and activities to accelerate the project for the Enhanced Performance Round (EPR) variant and the Advanced Armor-Piercing (ADVAP) variant. Follow-on development efforts for additional NGSW ammunition variants including tracer ammunition, blank ammunition, and reduced range ammunition will start in FY 2022.
