84mm MAAWS Ammunition

Abstract

This project will test, evaluate and qualify up to seven (7) types of 84mm munitions for U.S. Army use with the M3/M3A1 Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapon Systems (MAAWS). In addition to type classifying existing rounds, funds will also provide for the evaluation and qualification of the new High Explosive Programmable Airbursting Round. These rounds will provide improved lethality and a higher probability of hit in defilade positions for close combat forces against varying target sets and increased ranges in support of Infantry Squad formations. The M3/M3A1 is a HQDA G8 directed requirement scheduled for Full Material Release 4Qtr FY 2021. FY 2020 funding in the amount of $4.040 million will be used to acquire prototypes and support test and evaluation efforts for the new programmable round.
