MISSION The LU 110 artillery shell while especially fitted for 39 caliber guns takes advantages of the technical progress derived from the 52 caliber technologies in terms of accuracy, capability and safety. Compared to the well-known M110 smoke shell pertaining to the 155mm M107 family, this new product features an extended range capability in 39 caliber gun while having similar ballistics (+20% on range). This shell can also be fired in 45 and 52 caliber gun with a modular charge system. The detonation of the
burst charge, located below the booster of the fuze, causes the opening of the shell and the dispersion of the phosphorus over a radius of 25 to 30m. The combustion of the White Phosphorus produces an instantaneous and effective smoke screen. DESCRIPTION The projectile consists of a shell body filled with 7kg of white phosphorus. The duration of the smoke screen is approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes. The maximum effectiveness is between 1 and 2 minutes. The shell is delivered with a lifting plug designed to protect the projectile fuze area against accidental damage. PACKAGING 12 projectiles per pallet
