40mm HV Improved High Explosive Dual Purpose
Abstract
40 millimeter (mm) High Velocity (HV) High Explosive Dual Purpose - Air burst (HEDP-AB) is a new capability identified as a Warfighter counter-defilade requirement in the 40mm High Velocity Improved High Explosive Dual Purpose Cartridge Capability Development Document (CDD) and will provide the Mk19 Mod 3 Grenade Machine Gun (GMG) an airburst capable cartridge with the ability of achieving required lethal effects against enemy targets in the open and in defilade while maintaining the capability to defeat unarmored and lightly armored vehicles. XM1176 HEDP-AB cartridges are manufactured by de-fuzing legacy M430A1 cartridges and installing a new airburst capable fuze onto the M430A1 warhead. In FY 2025 funding will support Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) efforts.
