<h2>MISSION</h2><p>For use with the CMI 90mm MKVIII gun,  to defeat reinforced concrete structures, bunkers, light armored vehicles and  personnel targets.</p><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2><p>The HESH-IM-T (HEP-IM-T) projectile consists  of a thin walled steel cylindrical body with  a driving band, a relatively short ogive and  a base plug to which is secured the dual safety base detonating fuze and a tracer. The warhead  is loaded with insensitive pressed explosive (P16945) and is compliant with STANAG 4439.The projectile is assembled to a brass cartridge case loaded with a cool burning, single base, multi perforated, bagged type propelling charge. This round is an upgrade of the 90mm MK8 HESH-T M691A2, US Army Safety Certiﬁed in December 2002 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).</p><p>PACKAGING</p>
