.50 Caliber All-Purpose Tactical Cartridge (APTC)
Abstract
The All-Purpose Tactical Cartridge (APTC) project is a critical technology development in response to the .50 caliber Munitions Capabilities Development Documents (CDD). The overall objective of All-Purpose Tactical Cartridge is to deliver a single round that replaces and improves current legacy .50 caliber ammunition. The All-Purpose Tactical Cartridge will be compatible with all Army .50 caliber weapons but specifically optimized to work in the M2 Machine Guns. FY 2020 funding supports Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) in preparation for a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6, conducting a Materiel Development Decision (MDD), and conducting Design Verification Tests.
