Compact Adaptable Ballistic Technology (CAB-T)
Abstract
The CAB-T prototype will significantly increase dismounted soldier lethality and directly supports the National Defense Strategy focus to develop a more lethal force. The previously funded CAB-T project integrated lightweight materials and simplified cycling to enhance warfighter lethality through compact kinematic performance in an adaptable design. CAB-T assessments included the effects of material properties, mechanical interaction, operating pressure, and cartridge-mechanism interactions. The demonstrated prototype will achieve a modular ballistic system in a compact form factor to enable users to rapidly adapt to mission requirements. CAB-T activities in FY 2018 included the development and integration of custom components, assessment of user interfaces, and initial validation of compact ballistic technology modeling via subsystem laboratory testing.
