40mm High Velocity High Explosive Airburst (HEDP)
Abstract
The Army has identified a capability gap to defeat enemy personnel in defilade using the MK19 weapons system. The draft Capability Development Document (CDD) has been prepared and is expected to be approved in FY 2017. The improved 40mm High Velocity HEAB cartridge, with airburst fuze, allows the warfighter to effectively engage multiple targets and provide the grenadier with a higher probability of defeating personnel targets in defilade positions, increasing Soldier Survivability. FY 2017 dollars support the development of the Acquisition Strategy, Milestone B, and procurement support documents.
