Enhanced Lethality Cannon Munitions

Abstract

The Enhanced Lethality Cannon Munitions (ELCM) project will evaluate, develop, mature, and demonstrate new lethality technologies for 155mm cannon artillery munitions and evaluate their effectiveness in mitigating evolving and derived capability gaps, and support transition to Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD). The ELCM project will prototype and accelerate the maturation of enhanced lethality technologies, such as Lithographic Fragmentation Technology (LFT), for 155mm cannon artillery munition. The ELCM project will accelerate the development and maturation of LFT for subsequent integration on the 155mm XM1128 high explosive projectile per HQDA G-8 Directed Requirement for a Rapid Bridging Solution for the 155mm Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition, 22 December 2016. ELCM addresses requirements for increased lethality above the current U.S. Army go-to-war 155mm high explosive unitary projectiles, the M795 Insensitive Munition.
