<h2>MISSION</h2><p>The 40mm ammunition is intended for use in the 40mm CTAS weapon.The General Purpose Round - Airburst - Tracer (GPRAB-T) is a highly efﬁcient multi-role ammunition is able to defeat reinforced concrete 200mm up to 1,000m.The 40mm GPR-AB-T can be used in airburst mode on ground targets or in point detonating mode. The SD base fuze, fully compliant with STANAG 4187 and generates projection of splinters behind a 15mm armor plate, ensures performance against light vehicles, urban and soft targets even at very short range, and allow self-destruction of the ammunition between 3,000m and 6,000m.</p><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2><p>The 40mm GPR-AB-T cartridge is composed of: P   a steel cartridge case, P     a mechanical primer, P     a propellant load, P     a shell loaded with IM explosive, P     a day/night tracer, P     an electromechanical fuze (point detonating, Airburst and self destruction) compliant with STANAG 4187 requirements. Fully programmable when feeding. The ammunition does not contain any electrical energy in storage and regains its state of storage in case of unloading.</p>
