40mm L60 High Explosive Incendiary (HEI) (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
Qualifies multiple sources of 40mm L60 High Explosive Incendiary (HEI) ammunition for the AC-130 gunship. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC)planned to replace its Bofors 40mm cannon with a 30mm Bushmaster but due to fire control integration issues, AFSOC is no longer pursuing that option. The 40mm ammunition replacement is now a critical requirement as the current 40mm ammunition inventory is rapidly depleting at the current rate of usage. The primary outputs are one or more qualified sources for 40mm L60 HEI ammunition.
