155mm HE Rocket Assist Project Extended Range
Abstract
The XM1113 High Explosive Extended Range Artillery Projectile is a critical munition that supports the Army's modernization priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. The XM1113 is a government owned materiel solution for long-range cannon artillery projectiles that will attain ranges of 40km in 39 caliber weapon systems and 70km in future systems. The XM1113 will provide 33% increased range over obsolete and aging M549A1 Rocket Assisted Projectile using a larger, modern rocket motor and optimized aerodynamic airframe. The XM1113 will leverage enhanced lethality cannon munition technologies to compensate for increased rocket motor volume. The projectile body is filled with an insensitive munition (IM) high explosive (HE) and a supplementary charge to aid in soldier survivability. FY 2020 funds will support fuze performance evaluation and confirmation with XM1113 for Urgent Materiel Release (UMR) in FY 2021, as well as the continued engineering efforts of the XM1113 maturation in support of a Milestone C in FY 2022.
