30mm Lethality
Abstract
The 30 millimeter (mm) Lethality project funds the development of a suite of 30x173mm caliber cartridges, which includes a XM1182 High Explosive Airburst with Trace (HEAB-T) cartridge for increased anti-personnel effects, XM1170 Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Trace (APFSDS-T) cartridge for anti-materiel, and ballistically matched training cartridges; XM1173 Target Practice with Trace (TP-T) cartridge and XM1172 Target Practice Discarding Sabot with Trace (TPDS-T) cartridge. The objective is to enhance the operational effectiveness and lethality of the Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV), Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV), and any Army Fighting Vehicles that are equipped with a 30x173mm weapon system. The tactical APFSDS-T cartridge will provide an organic direct fire capability to support infantry at a greater range and will improve lethality when engaging light-to-medium armored vehicles. The HEAB-T cartridge will provide the Warfighter with increased lethality against troops in the open, counter defilade, Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) teams, and troops behind urban structures. The training cartridges will be ballistically matched to the tactical cartridges, allowing the Warfighter to train in a cost effective manner. This project is a follow-on of the earlier efforts in support of the United States Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) #15-20590 Stryker Increased Lethality for the 2nd Cavalry Regiment (2CR). Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 funding will support the continuation of Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) for all cartridges to include completion of Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), preparation and execution of Milestone C decision, platform integration testing, and Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) hardware fabrication and test assets.
