155mm HE Rocket Assist Project Extended Range

Abstract

The 155 millimeter (mm) High Explosive (HE) Rocket Assisted Projectile, Extended Range Project supports projectile development efforts to achieve ranges of 40km in current 39 caliber artillery weapon systems and longer ranges in future 58 caliber Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) Self-Propelled Howitzer (SPH) to achieve the Army's requirement of extended range lethality. The Project is executing an evolutionary approach to meet the objectives of extended range and precision. The XM1113 will replace the obsolete M549A1 in 39 caliber weapon systems and increase range from 30km to 40km. The XM1210 will be optimized for 58 caliber guns and allow commanders to provide accurate cannon artillery fires at ranges of 70km and greater with ERCA. The XM1113 will not have a FY 2024 budget request. FY 2024 funding will continue to support XM1210 development and qualification activities for the Full Materiel Release (FMR) configuration.
