30mm Lethality
Abstract
The 30mm Lethality Project funds development of a suite of 30x173mm caliber cartridges, which includes anti-personnel tactical and training cartridges and anti-materiel tactical and training cartridges. The objective is to enhance the operational effectiveness and lethality of the Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) and any Army Fighting Vehicles that are equipped with a 30x173mm weapon system. The tactical cartridges will provide an organic direct fire capability to support infantry at a greater range and will improve lethality when engaging dismounted infantry and like armored vehicles. The training cartridges will be ballistically matched to the tactical cartridges, allowing the Warfighter to train in a cost effective manner. This Project will leverage earlier efforts in support of the Stryker Operational Needs Statement for Increased Lethality. FY 2019 funding will continue to support the ammunition qualification activities and development of performance specifications in support of the 30x173mm Programmable Airburst Munitions - Tracer (PABM-T) Urgent Materiel Release (UMR). FY 2019 effort also includes activities for developing/qualifying a 30x173mm Programmable Airburst Munition (PABM) along with an initial Design Engineering Test (DET). The objective is to field airburst capable 30x173mm cartridges and programming/communication units for use in Stryker ICV and/or Army Future Fighting Vehicles.
