PACKAGING MISSION For use with low, medium and high pressure 81mm mortars (M1, M29/M29A1, M252/ L16A1 and equivalents), to produce blast and fragmentation effects when used against structures, material targets and personnel. DESCRIPTION The round consists of a high fragmentation nodular cast iron bomb body with a plastic obturator, a nose fuze and an aluminium tail assembly. The body is loaded with 800g of insensitive melt cast explosive (XF®11585) and is compliant with STANAG 4439. The tail assembly is fitted with
the ignition cartridge and the “horseshoe” type charge increments (2 for low pressure, 4 for medium pressure and 5 for high pressure mortars). The 81mm M512B1 is an upgrade of the 81mm M512A1 design which provides improved safety for personnel and equipments, limits the reaction created by different threats (fire, impact, …) and has less safety constraints for logistics during the complete lifecycle of the product (storage, transport, operation).
