The 120mm CAN consists in a projectile containing Tungsten spheres stacked into an aluminum shell body, a propelling charge assembly. The propulsion system consists in a metallic stub case with combustible cartridge case, granular propellant and electric semi-combustible primer. The 120mm CAN (Canister), with the design based on GD-OTS’ M1028 projectile, belongs to an ammunition family complying with all the STANAG 4385 and MOPI AEP 26 requirements and can be fired by the LECLERC MBT, Abrams M1 (A1 and A2), Leopard
2, C1 Ariete and other MBTs fitted with a 120mm smoothbore gun. The 120mm CAN provides the Main Battle Tanks crews with a very effective close-defense solution against various threats in urban or battlefields, while limiting collateral damages. The family of ammunition consists of combat rounds (120 APFSDS armour piercing round, 120 HE High Explosive round, 120mm CAN) and practice rounds (120 APFSDS-TP practice armour piercing round and 120 HEAT-TP practice anti-tank round) and drill rounds for tank crew training for ammunition handling.
