Region

Category
Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons
MISSION The 155mm IPC36 propelling charge is dedicated to the 155mm/52 cal artillery systems. It consists of a combustible case containing five bags of propellant covering the zones 3 to 6. This propelling charge offers a longer range firing capability while featuring similar ballistic characteristics with the existing modular charge systems for zones 3 to 6. It is a cheaper alternative to the modular charge systems (Top Charge Module) when the key features of the modular charge concept are not requested.
DESCRIPTION The 155mm IPC36 propelling charge meets the ballistic requirements of the Joint Ballistic Memorandum of Understanding (JBMoU) as far as the zones 3 to 6 are concerned. This propelling charge can also be used in 39 caliber guns (limited to zone 5) & 45 caliber guns (limited to zone 6). In addition, a dedicated version for 39 caliber guns is also proposed, i.e the 155mm IPC35 propelling charge (Zone 3 to zone 5). PACKAGING 1 charge per container, 16 containers per pallet
