MISSION For use with low, medium and high pressure81mm mortars (M1, M29/M29A1, M252/L16A1 and equivalents), to train mortar crews and forward observers. DESCRIPTION The HE-TP round is ballistically similar to the HE round and hence fires with the same firing tables. It uses the same propelling charge system as the live rounds. 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). On impact the
point detonating fuze functions causing a pyrotechnic charge to ignite which yields a spotting flash and a bang similar to live HE bomb while greatly reducing risks from fragmentation and blast effects. PACKAGING
