Enhanced Lethality Cannon Munitions

Abstract

The Enhanced Lethality Cannon Munitions (ELCM) Project will evaluate, develop, and qualify new lethality technologies for 155 millimeter (mm) cannon artillery munitions and evaluate their effectiveness in mitigating evolving and derived capability gaps, and support transition to production. The ELCM Project supports testing and assessment of the Israeli Military Industries (IMI) Systems M999 advanced anti-personnel munition in support the Army Directed Requirement for a Rapid Bridging Solution for the replacement of the 155mm Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM). This Project also accelerates the qualification of the 155mm XM1128 High Explosive Projectile, which will replace the M795 Critical Munition once qualified. Engineering efforts are ongoing and will support the evaluation of the XM1128 test data to determine that the Program is safe, suitable and operationally effective, as well as the gathering of all statutory and regulatory requirements in support of a Milestone C in FY 2021. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, this Project does not have an Research Development Technology & Evaluation (RDT&E) request.
