155mm High Explosive Extended Range Artillery
Abstract
The 155mm High Explosive Extended Range Artillery Projectile project will evaluate, develop and qualify extended range technologies, including the XM1113 in 39 caliber weapon systems with legacy propellants. The XM113 effort is a government owned materiel solution for long-range cannon artillery projectile that will increase range by 10km+ in 39 caliber weapon systems, and contain twice as much rocket motor grains as the current 155mm long range cannon projectile that is now obsolete. The XM1113 will leverage enhanced lethality cannon munition technologies to compensate for increased rocket motor volume. This design will utilize a high fragmentation steel body with a streamlined ogive and a high performance rocket motor. The projectile body is filled with an insensitive munition (IM) high explosive (HE) and a supplementary charge. FY 2019 will support the completion of the Developmental Test phase of Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) and the completion of the Critical Design Review (CDR) in 4Q FY 2019.
