155mm HE Rocket Assist Project Extended Range
Abstract
The 155 millimeter (mm) High Explosive (HE) Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) supports the Army's Cannon Modernization Strategy which includes Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) Armament Upgrade, Next Generation Cannon, Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA), and all utilized cannons that are 52-calibers or longer. The Project is executing an evolutionary approach leveraging current rocket assisted munitions hardware to meet the extended range and precision objectives. The High Explosive (HE) Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) will first deliver a near term solution to increase range from 30km to 40km in current 39 caliber systems. The Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) will continue development of the High Explosive (HE) Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) with focus on improved accuracy, lethality, and ranges up to 70km and greater utilizing 52 and 58 caliber weapons. FY 2025 funding supports the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) activities to build, test, and evaluate a solution that meets the requirements specified in the Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) Capabilities Development Document (CDD).
