Programmable High Explosive Dual Purpose Ammunition (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This project will produce a 40 mm high-velocity Programmable-High Explosive Dual Purpose (P-HEDP) round for the Advance Lightweight Grenade Launcher (ALGL) MK47 Weapon System. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: P-HEDP ammunition will consist of components derived from two other successful FCT projects combined into the next priority round from the ALGL operational requirement. These components will be assembled, tested, qualified, and then released for SOF use. RDT&E cost avoidance for this type of effort is estimated at $9.000 million. Combined operations and support and procurement cost avoidance is expected to be at $27.000 million. Fielding reduction is greater than five years. Completion date is scheduled for September 2010.
