84mm MAAWS Ammunition

Abstract

Project FL8 84mm MAAWS Ammunition will test, evaluate and qualify up to seven types of 84 millimeters (mm) munitions for United States (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 Type Classification 4th Quarter (Q) Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. FY 2022 funding in the amount of $6.639 million will be used to complete type classification efforts for the new programmable round.
