Advanced Lethality ? Kinetic Energy (AL-KE)
Abstract
This effort designs and develops component technologies for large caliber direct fire light-weight armament systems that will exceed the current 120mm direct fire cannon performance for future operational environments, including dense urban, with multi -domain engagement capability. The component technologies that support rapid fire on-the-move (direct & indirect) engagements include: compact ammunition design with advanced ignition, reduced gun impulse on platform through advanced recoil mitigation techniques, and automated ammunition handling and reloading.
