76 mm FRAG-HE OF-350 and O-350A
Armament 76 mm Divisional Field Gun M1942 (ZIS-3); 76 mm Mountain Gun GP ( M1966 ); D-56T tank gun; NORINCO 76 mm Field Gun Type 54; (OF-350) 76.2 mm Romanian Mountain Guns Models 48B1A5 and 82; Romanian Mountain Howitzer Model 84. Development The 76 mm Divisional Field Gun M1942 (ZIS-3) was one of the stalwarts of the Red Army's close artillery support regiments during the 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War and was produced in thousands. The main projectile employed throughout its service life was FRAG-HE, of which the OF-350 and O-350A were the latest types. The OF-350 and O-350A are visually identical although the O-350A is marginally shorter. The 42 calibre ZIS-3 and its ammunition are now generally regarded as obsolete, due mainly to the low projectile weight, although the ZIS-3 and its Chinese equivalent, the 76 mm Type 54, remain in service with some nations, sometimes as an anti-armour weapon. It no longer serves with any of the former Warsaw Pact nations other than as a Blank-firing saluting gun or gate guardian. Self-propelled carriages such as the SU-76 are no longer in service anywhere, but the 76 mm D-56T tank gun, an updated and lighter development of the ZIS-3 ordnance, is still used on the PT-76 light amphibious tank in service with many nations. The 76 mm FRAG-HE OF-350 projectile is employed with the Romanian Mountain Guns Models 48B1A5, 82 and 84 in a slightly modified form as the OF-350M (see separate entry for details). The OF-350M is also fired by the Romanian Arsenalul Mountain Howitzer Model 84. Description The 76 mm (actual calibre 76.2 mm) FRAG-HE OF-350 and O-350A, are fixed rounds with the projectile rigidly fixed to the cartridge case by a 360º crimping band located in a cannelure close to the single copper drive band which is 13.72 mm wide. The projectile is a hollow steel forging with a threaded nose cavity for the point detonating fuze. The ogive is long and streamlined and there is a bourrelet and a boat tail. The usual filling is 710 g of TNT although other explosives have been used. The straight-sided cartridge case is extruded brass (lacquered steel has been used) and contains approximately 1.08 kg of loose-filled 9/7 nitrocellulose powder plus 12 g of S-1 decoppering agent, and a distance piece and obturator to fill the gap between the propellant and the projectile base. A 25 mm brass percussion primer housing is threaded into the base. The muzzle velocity is 680 m/s, producing a range of approximately 13,300 m. When fired from the Romanian Mountain Howitzer Model 84 at a maximum muzzle velocity of 398 m/s, the maximum range is given as 8,600 m. A blank MK-354 cartridge was produced for training and saluting purposes. It weighed 1.5 kg and contained 150 g of 9/7 propellant to produce the sound and flash signatures required. Many nations manufacture their own Blank cartridges using fired cartridge cases.

Development The 122 mm Howitzer M1938 ( M-30 ) has been in service since before the Second World War. It remains in widespread use throughout the world, although with many armed forces it has now been relegated to reserve or training duties. However, many nations still retain the piece as a first-line weapon, including China where the original design was copied by NORINCO to produce their 122 mm Howitzer Type 54 and 54-1, which differ from the original only in detail. The 122 mm FRAG-HE OF-462 and the closely related OF-462A are the latest 122 mm projectiles of their type to enter service, being the most modern developments in a line of similar projectiles. The OF-462 is also fired from the gun-howitzer barrels used on the later towed 122 mm Howitzer D-30 and self-propelled M-1974 ( 2S1 - also known as the SO-122 or Gvozdika), although the ammunition systems involved with these equipments employ more powerful propellant charges in a longer cartridge case. An improved on-target effect HE projectile is known as the 122 mm 3OF56 - see following entry. This appears to have replaced the OF-462 series of 122 mm FRAG-HE projectiles in production within Russia , although no doubt stockpiles still remain. The spread of 122 mm ordnance has been sufficiently wide for commercial fuze designs to have been produced. A typical example is the South African Fuchs Electronics M9017A1 radio proximity fuze, which is optimised for 122 mm HE projectiles. Proximity action is factory set to function at a height between 6 and 8 m and there is a secondary super-quick impact feature. It has been reported that a 122 mm Rocket-Assisted HE Projectile (RAP) was produced for use with the D-30/2S1 series of weapons. Few details are available but apparently the projectile had a maximum range of 21,900 m. Description The 122 mm FRAG-HE OF-462 is a separate loading round with the projectile and cartridge case loaded separately so that, where appropriate, the propellant charges can be altered to suit the fire mission. The full designation for a complete round is 53-OF-462. The body of the 122 mm OF-462 projectile is forged high-fragmentation steel with a relatively short streamlined ogive, a pronounced bourrelet and a distinct boat tail. There is a single copper drive band just under 21 mm wide. The explosive filling material can vary but is usually a cast TNT/Amatol mixture weighing 3.46 kg; other fillings can include TNT only, with weights usually varying around the 3.5 kg mark. If a PD fuze is fitted it is usually the RGM-2 with selectable instantaneous or delay features and with a muzzle safety distance of between 5 and 7 m. 122 mm Howitzer M1938 ( M-30 ) ammunition uses a `multisection' system of propelling charges. The total weight of the nitrocellulose powder charges is 2.2 kg, made up from a system of nine bags. The basic charge, Charge 8, is a single-base charge bag. The system is built up until the Charge 1 stage is reached which is formed by the base charge bag, four equal section bag charges in a lower layer and three equal section bag charges in an upper layer. The Full Charge is produced by adding one further bag charge to the upper layer, making a total of nine bags in all, which are all held in place by a fibre cup. They are all contained in a MK-75 brass cartridge case, 284 mm long and weighing 3.25 kg, with a 25 mm long brass percussion primer housing threaded into the centre of the base. It is possible to use a cartridge case issued with the Full Charge ready packed and with no facility to alter the charges. This charge system produces a range of muzzle velocities ranging from 205 m/s at the lower end (minimum range 5,350 m) up to the 515 m/s (maximum range 11,800 m) produced by the Full Charge. When the OF-462 is fired from the 122 mm Howitzer D-30 or self-propelled 2S1 , a longer MK-75 brass or lacquered steel cartridge case (length 447 mm, weight (steel) 3.66 kg) with a base-mounted KV-4 percussion primer is involved. This can contain 12/1 Tr and 12/7 nitrocellulose powder in a `Reduced Charge' form containing five variable charge bags weighing a total of 2.43 kg, or a single prepacked Full Charge weighing 3.8 kg. The muzzle velocity using the Full Charge is 680 to 690 m/s and the maximum range 17,360 m. The maximum muzzle velocity using the `Reduced Charge' cartridge is 565 m/s and maximum range 15,300 m. Two training rounds intended specially for training towed 122 mm M-30 or D-30 and 2S1 self-propelled howitzer crews are the 122 mm VOFT-463 (for the M-30 ) and VOFT5 (for the D-30 and 2S1 ) training rounds, both using the same 122 mm HE-T OFT-462 projectile. With the VOFT5 round the OFT-462 projectile is fired at a muzzle velocity of 690 m/s and emits a No 1 tracer for up to 3 seconds from a location in the base so that the trajectory can be followed for training assessment and marking purposes. As the projectile passes through a soft target the nose-mounted VS-5 or VUBS-1M super-quick point detonating fuze functions to detonate the projectile's TNT bursting charge less than 5 m behind the target. Should the projectile fail to hit a target it will self-destruct after about 5 to 7 seconds at a maximum range of 15,300 m. The complete 122 mm VOFT5 round weighs 29.5 kg and has a steel cartridge case containing 3.8 kg of 12/7 + 12/1 Tr and VTH10 propellant. The 122 mm VOFT-463 training round for the M-30 operates in a similar manner. Both these training rounds are marketed by Kintex of Bulgaria . 122 mm blank rounds have also been produced, the MK-463 for the M-30 and the MK-462 for the D-30/2S1.

128 mm M-63 rockets
Armament 128 mm M-63 Plamen 32-tube MRS; 128 mm Light Rocket Launcher M-71 . Development The 128 mm M-63 artillery rocket was developed for the towed 128 mm M-63 Plamen 32-tube MRS which was at one time produced in significant numbers for the former Yugoslav armed forces. The use of this towed MRS spread to virtually all the combatants in the area. As far as can be determined the 128 mm M-63 Plamen , the associated single-tube Light Rocket Launcher M-71 for special forces and their M-63 rockets are not currently in production. It is understood that the design of the 128 mm M-63 rocket was influenced by the Czech 130 mm M51 (qv). In 1988-89 128 mm M-63 rockets were supplied to the Austrian Army for use with their 13 cm Racketenwerfer M51 , the local designation for the Czech 130 mm M51 MRS. In 1989, an improved 128 mm rocket known as the M-87 was announced. Although it was intended for use with existing 128 mm launchers its current status is uncertain. However, an essentially similar enhanced range rocket, the 128 mm M93, is in production in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina - see separate entry. Description The steel-bodied 128 mm M-63 spin-stabilised rocket is propelled by a solid propellant rocket motor containing 4.78 kg of electrically ignited nitroglycerine-based rocket propellant exhausting through eight machined venturi in the rocket's exhaust assembly. The electrical Rocket Primer M-63 is used to initiate the motor. Maximum rocket velocity is 420 m/s which enables the projectile to reach a maximum range of 8,580 m, minimum range is 2,000 m. Dispersion at maximum range is 0.56 per cent of range. The 128 mm M-63 rocket weighs 23.1 kg with the steel-cased warhead weighing 7.55 kg, 2.3 kg of which is the trotyl or trotyl-hexogen high-explosive filling. Threaded into the rocket nose is a UT M-63(OV) point detonating or super-quick graze function fuze; the fuze is armed at a distance of 40 to 250 m from the launcher. The M-63 rocket is 814 mm long overall. An inert practice version of the M-63 was produced. It weighs approximately 23 kg. The 128 mm M-87 Improved rocket weighed 25.5 kg, with 7.8 kg of solid propellant and an explosive warhead weighing 3.3 kg. Overall length with an M-84 point detonating fuze is 960 mm and maximum range 13,000 m.

262 mm LRSV M87 Orkan rockets
Armament 262 mm 12-tube LRSV M87 Orkan MRS. Development When the 262 mm 12-tube LRSV M87 Orkan MRS was first displayed publicly in 1988 it was labelled the Ababeel 50 MRS and shown at an Iraqi defence exhibition. With time it emerged that it was a joint Yugoslav-Iraqi project, with most of the development carried out in Yugoslavia and some manufacture taking place in Iraq ; some of the project funding was also provided by Iraq . It was intended that the rocket and MRS would be only part of an overall system that would include command, meteorological, resupply, observation and other support vehicles. During 1994 and 1995 small numbers of LRSV M87 Orkan MRS were used in action during the various conflicts in the Balkans. The type remains in production in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The LRSV M87 MRS features several advanced fire-control systems including a German video camera tracking system intended to track spotting rockets before the main salvo is fired. Description Relatively few details regarding the 262 mm rockets used with the LRSV M87 Orkan MRS are available so the data provided here has to be regarded as provisional. It was claimed that the maximum range is 50,000 m. By the opening and closing of four different lengths of aerodynamic brake, four different maximum ranges can be attained; 24,000, 28,000, 37,000 and 50,000 m. Probable dispersion at maximum range is claimed as 220 m in range and 175 m in azimuth. Overall length of all rockets is 4.656 m. The two-stage rocket motor uses double-base propellant. The booster stage uses 10 kg of fuel and burns for 200 ms to generate 8,000 kg of thrust to propel the rocket clear of the launch tube. The second (sustainer) motor then cuts in to burn for 5 seconds and generates 18,000 kg of thrust to produce a maximum velocity of 1,200 m/s. Time of flight to maximum range is 110 seconds. Several types of warhead were developed. One is an APHE with a inertial type impact fuze with super-quick or graze action. This type of rocket weighs 389 kg with the warhead weighing 91 kg. A 262 mm rocket carrying a cargo/cluster warhead also weighs 389 kg with the warhead weighing 91 kg and containing 288 dual-purpose bomblets. Each bomblet has a shaped anti-armour charge capable of penetrating over 60 mm of armour, while the anti-personnel fragmentation effects are augmented by approximately 420 small steel spheres which are scattered, along with the usual bomblet fragments, over a lethal radius of 10 m. This warhead is provided with an Electronic Time fuze. One further 262 mm Orkan rocket with a cargo/cluster warhead weighs 381 kg, 83 kg of which is the warhead carrying 24 scatterable anti-tank mines. Each cylindrical mine has four snap-out vanes which stabilise the mine during descent and orientate the mine on the ground. When detonated the mine can penetrate approximately 40 mm of armour. This warhead is provided with an Electronic Time fuze. A 262 mm extended range rocket with a maximum range of 70,000 m was under development with the warhead capacity reduced to provide the space for an enlarged rocket motor. Its current status is unknown. Authorised fuzes PD or ET - no information available Equivalent rockets BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA Manufacturer Ministry of Defence, Department of Defence Industry.

7.62 × 54R mm
Synonyms 7.62 mm Mosin Nagant; 7.62 × 53R; 7.62 mm Soviet Rimmed; 7.62 mm M1891 Armament All Russian and Soviet Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifles; SVD (Dragunov) sniper rifle; SV-98 sniper rifle; DP, DT, RP-46 , SG-43, SGM and PK/PKM machine guns. Development The 7.62 mm Mosin-Nagant is the oldest cartridge still in first-line service, having been introduced into Russian service in 1891 with the Mosin-Nagant `Three-Line' rifle. It was adopted as the standard infantry cartridge for subsequent rifles and machine guns, and since it has superior long-range performance over the 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge, has been kept in use for general purpose machine guns and sniper rifles. It has also been adopted by other countries using Russian weapons, particularly China and Finland , but may now be found anywhere, especially where Soviet or Chinese influences distributed the appropriate weapons. Description The case is rimmed, bottlenecked and may be of brass- or copper-coated steel. The base is part-convex with a Berdan or Boxer primer. A variety of bullets have been used over the years, but the current standards are the boat tail Ball LPS, steel cored with a GMCS jacket and the Heavy Ball D, streamlined and with a lead core in GMCS jacket.

Development The 155 mm M116 family of base ejection smoke projectiles are of the same generation as the 155 mm HE M107 , having been originally developed before the Second World War. The original 155 mm Smoke HC M116 was developed from the 155 mm M115 Smoke projectile, and was originally intended to be used with the towed 155 mm Howitzer M1 before the Second World War. The M115 was the `Americanized' version of a French projectile originally used with the French designed M1917/M1918 series of 155 mm towed howitzers procured during the First World War. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116 is a two-part projectile with a parallel-walled body and a screw-on nose section, plus a thicker and heavier driving band to improve in-bore sealing, especially in worn barrels. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116B1 is a one-piece forging, as is the M116A1 which also features improved smoke canisters. The main difference between the M116A1 and M116B1 is that the latter has cardboard canister separators, instead of aluminium, and the M116B1 fuze cavity is smaller. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116 and M116B1 are limited to the use of the MTSQ M501A1 fuze; the M116A1 can accommodate the MT M565 and MTSQ M577 fuzes. Various smoke producing fillings have been used over the years, including some coloured smoke mixtures (green, red or yellow) for marking purposes, but the usual filling is HC smoke compound (hexachloroethane-zinc mixture). The 155 mm Smoke HC M116 is now rarely encountered but the 155 mm Smoke HC M116B and M116A1 are still in widespread production and service. None of the M116 series projectiles remain in production in the USA. The German Army designation equivalents for the 155 mm Smoke HC M116 family are DM 25, DM 35 and DM 45. Only the latter is now produced (by Buck Technologies). Description The M116 family of 155 mm base ejection smoke projectiles are separate loading munitions using hollow steel shell bodies with nose-mounted time fuzes. The original 155 mm Smoke HC M116 used a straight-sided steel body with a screw-on nose section. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116B1 and M116A1 bodies have steel forgings and the same general outline as the 155 mm HE M107 . During storage and handling the projectile fuze wells are fitted with lifting plugs. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116 has a copper base closure disc and carries its 131.5 g black powder expulsion charge in a cloth bag. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116B1 has a 154 g black powder expulsion charge in a polyethylene cup and uses a steel base closure disc. The M116 and M116B1 have cardboard canister separators while the M116A1 uses aluminium spacers. The M116 and M116B1 have small fuze cavities. The shell interior contains four smoke canisters, the top one smaller than the other three; it has tapered sides to fit into the shell ogive. The canisters are filled with HC smoke compound (hexachloroethane-zinc mixture); the 155 mm Smoke HC M116A1 carries a total weight of 8.7 kg of HC although the total weight with canisters is 11.72 kg. In operation, the nose-mounted time fuze functions at the preselected time and ignites an expulsion charge containing 154 g of black powder. The resultant internal pressure forces off the projectile's steel baseplate and ejects the canisters. The expulsion charge also transmits a flash down through a perforated channel running through the four canisters and along the entire internal length of the shell. The flash ignites the HC smoke composition in the canisters so that a greyish-white smoke screen is produced within 30 seconds and lasts for up to 90 seconds (2 minutes with the M116A1); the maximum smoke density is produced 1 minute after canister expulsion. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116 and M116B1 can be fired using the M3A1/M4A2 bagged charges up to Charge 6. The M119 and M203 series of unitary charges cannot be used with these projectiles. The 155 mm Smoke HC M116A1 can use the full range of M3A1/M4A2 bagged charges and the M119 unitary charges. The M203 cannot be used with this projectile. The Propelling Charge M3A1 is a green bag charge using 2.495 kg of M1 propellant divided into a base charge and four increments for firing as Charges 1 to 5. It has an M2 flash reducer pad (weighing 28.3 g) assembled in front of the base charge with similar pads assembled in front of increments 4 and 5. The increment bags are tied together by four cloth straps and a clean-burning igniter charge in a red cloth bag is sewn to the rear of the base charge. The complete charge is 406 mm long. The Propelling Charge M3 is similar to the M3A1 but lacks the M2 flash reducer pads and an 85 g charge of black powder is used in the igniter pad. It should be noted that Charge 1 cannot normally be used with the longer barrelled weapons. The Propelling Charge M4A2 is a white bag charge using 5.897 kg of M1 propellant divided into a base charge and four increments for firing as Charges 3 to 7. The increments are tied together by four cloth straps. A 96.4 g clean-burning igniter charge in a red cloth bag is sewn to the rear of the base section and an M2 flash reducer pad is assembled in front of the base charge. The complete charge is 533 mm long. The Propelling Charge M4A1 is similar to the M4A2 but does not contain the M2 flash reducer pad (although this can be added if required) and the base igniter contains black powder. The Propelling Charge M4 is a white bag charge, it differs from the M4A1 as it consists of a base charge and two increments only for firing as Charges 5 to 7. The M2 flash reducer pad is used with this charge. The M3 and M4 series of charges are fired using the MK2A4 or M82 primer. The M2 flash reducer pad used with these charges is a 101.6 mm square red cotton cloth bag containing black powder and potassium sulphate or potassium nitrate. The Propelling Charge M119 is a single white bag charge in a laced jacket fired as Charge 8. It has an igniter bag sewn onto the base and a flash reducer pad is located on the front of the bag; the forward end also contains lead foil as a decoppering agent. The M119 contains approximately 8.62 kg of cool-burning M6 propellant with a central igniter consisting of a moulded nitrocellulose tube containing benite strands. The Propelling Charge M119A1 has some design improvements over the M119 including a modified ring-shaped flash reducer. The Propelling Charge M119A2 uses a red charge bag and does not have a laced jacket. It is provided with an igniter protector cap and tie strap which must be removed before firing; the circular red cloth igniter pad weighs 113 g. The M119A2 zone 7 is equivalent to the M119/M119A1 zone 8 charge. There are four 113 g potassium sulphate flash reducer increments located in side pockets. The M119A2 is 660 mm long. The M119A2 charge is produced by Eurometaal NV as the No 13. When fired from the 155 mm M1A1 Cannon on M114/M114A1 towed howitzers the following ballistic performance can be attained: Charge 1 (M3 green bag) - MV 207.3 m/s - range 3,900 m Charge 2 (M3 green bag) - MV 234.7 m/s - range 4,800 m Charge 3 (M3 green bag) - MV 268.2 m/s - range 6,100 m Charge 4 (M3 green bag) - MV 310.9 m/s - range 7,800 m Charge 5 (M3 green bag) - MV 371.9 m/s - range 9,700 m Charge 3 ( M4A1 white bag) - MV 274.3 m/s - range 6,300 m Charge 4 ( M4A1 white bag) - MV 316.4 m/s - range 8,000 m Charge 5 ( M4A1 white bag) - MV 374.6 m/s - range 9,700 m Charge 6 ( M4A1 white bag) - MV 463.3 m/s - range 12,000 m Charge 7 ( M4A1 white bag) - MV 563.9 m/s - range 14,600 m.

Chartered Industries of Singapore produce a unitary charge, using cloth bags, which covers Charges 6, 7, 8 and 9. Known as the C20 and promoted for use with Smoke HC M110 series projectiles, this charge uses M6 propellant, is 610 mm long, 160 mm in diameter, and weighs 10 kg. It is anticipated that future 155 mm propellant charge systems will involve the employment of the XM231/XM232 Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS). Other nations are currently in the process of adopting similar modular charge systems. Authorised fuzes M116 and M116B1: MTSQ M501 series M116A1: MT M565.

The body contains a black powder expelling charge, actuated by a time fuze screwed into the nose and 12 dual-purpose shaped charge/fragmentation submunitions. The standard MECAR propellant system is used. At the time set on the fuze the expelling charge is ignited. This blows the tail off the bomb and ejects the submunitions that fall freely to the ground. Each has an impact fuze and depending upon the target, functions as an anti-armour or anti-personnel weapon. The shaped charge will penetrate over 60 mm of armour and the anti-personnel lethal radius is approximately 10 m. Manufacturer MECAR SA.Читати далі

Cartridge, 40 mm: L/70 HE-T
Armament All 40 mm L/70 Bofors Guns including: 40 mm L/70 BOFI; TRINITY; SAK 40 L/70 ; L/70 Combat Vehicle Gun (40/70 B); Otobreda Twin 40L70 Field Mounting ; Otobreda Twin 40L70 Compact naval mounting; Otobreda Twin Fast Forty naval mounting; Boeing Company Bushmaster IV. TRIDON 40 mm L/70 self-propelled air defence gun. Development The 40 mm L/70 HE-T was one of the first rounds developed by Bofors AB, for use with the Bofors 40 mm L/70 air defence gun when it was first produced in 1947. The 40 mm L/70 gun is basically a longer enhanced performance version of the earlier Bofors 40 mm L/60 and uses ammunition with a longer cartridge case (40 mm × 365 R) containing a more powerful propellant charge for the enlarged projectile. Although Bofors AB maintains a capability to manufacture 40 mm L/70 HE-T ammunition to order they regard it as having been superseded by the more versatile and effective 40 mm L/70 MPT round (see following entry). The 40 mm L/70 HE-T ammunition is widely produced outside Sweden and is often referred to as HEI or HEI-T. Bofors Explosives has developed Low Vulnerability Ammunition (LOVA) which includes LOVA propellant and insensitive components, such as igniters and boosters. LOVA elements can be applied to all 40 mm rounds in production with a view to rendering them even more invulnerable to shock and high temperatures. Description The 40 mm L/70 HE-T is a fixed round with the projectile crimped rigidly to the brass cartridge case by two 360º crimping bands. A copper drive band (cupro-nickel is also used) encircles the projectile just above the cartridge case/projectile junction. The Bofors 40 mm L/70 HE-T projectile is a hollow special steel forging with a boat-tailed base and a streamlined ogive. It is filled with 100 g of Hexotonal, comprising 42 per cent TNT, 40 per cent RDX, 15 per cent aluminium powder and 3 per cent desensitiser. Many other fillings have been used, for example cast Tritolital. The base of the projectile contains a tracer element which burns for at least 4 seconds after firing. Bofors fuzes fitted to the nose include the mechanical PD LI 472 for aircraft targets and the deeper intrusion PD LI 473, for lightly armoured ground targets. The latter incorporates an optional 0.3 µs impact delay, allowing the shell to penetrate and detonate inside the target while the PD LI 472 has an impact sensitivity against 2 mm dural at impact velocities as low as 350 m/s. Both fuzes have a delayed arming device, which prevents arming until the projectile is 55 to 60 m from the muzzle, and a mechanical self-destruct time of 12 seconds; there is also a tropical rain safety. One alternative self-destruct point detonating fuze is the DM 321 produced by Junghans Feinwerktechnik. The drawn 70:30 brass cartridge case has a semi-rimmed base and is fitted with a percussion primer with a sinoxide detonator. Propellant loads vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but the Bofors 40 mm L/70 HE-T uses approximately 485 g of a flash-reduced single-base nitrocellulose powder (NC 1066), producing a muzzle velocity of 1,005 m/s. An alternative charge is multiperforated Type M1 propellant which also produces a muzzle velocity of 1,005 m/s. The low-cost training equivalent to the 40 mm L/70 HE-T is the 40 mm L/70 TP or TP-T. This has the same ballistic, weight and dimensional characteristics as the HE-T but lacks any filling or is filled with an inert high-explosive substitute. It is fitted with an inert or dummy PD fuze or a solid nose cap.

Cartridge, 40 mm: L/70 PFHE
Armament All 40 mm L/70 Bofors Guns including: 40 mm L/70 BOFI; TRINITY; SAK 40 L/70 ; SAK 40 L/70 Mk 3; L/70 Combat Vehicle Gun (40/70 B); Otobreda Twin 40L70 Field Mounting ; Otobreda Twin 40L70 Compact naval mounting; Otobreda Twin Fast Forty naval mounting; Boeing Company Bushmaster IV. TRIDON 40 mm L/70 self-propelled air defence gun Development The first Bofors 40 mm L/70 PFHE projectile appeared during 1975; it was first demonstrated in conjunction with the air defence system that became the Bofors 40 mm BOFI. Since then well over one million 40 mm L/70 PFHE rounds have been produced for delivery, to approximately 30 different nations, and the design is now in its second generation as the Mk 2 (since 1983). The Mk 2 differs from the original in having revised electronics and enhanced signal processing, providing an improved triggering distance against missiles. The 40 mm L/70 PFHE round was originally a joint development between Philips Electronikindustrie AB (now CelsiusTech Systems) and Bofors AB. The introduction of a proximity fuze to the projectile increases the potential target area of a head-on aircraft target by a factor of 50 and a helicopter target by a factor of 80, while the potential target area of a low-flying missile is increased by a factor of at least 350. A 40 mm L/60 PFHE round has also been produced (see separate entry). Description The 40 mm L/70 PFHE is a fixed round with a brass cartridge case. The cartridge case is crimped rigidly to the projectile by two 360º crimping bands. A copper drive band encircles the projectile just above the cartridge case/projectile junction. The 40 mm L/70 PFHE projectile uses a curved base (`duck-tailed') shell body manufactured from a special high-fragmentation steel. The explosive content is 120 g of Octol. The shell interior walls are lined with a total of 650 spherical tungsten carbide pellets, each 3 mm in diameter. The forward end of the streamlined projectile is occupied by the proximity fuze which operates on the Doppler principle. The fuze has an automatic sensitivity control, to prevent initiation by surface objects and sea or ground reflections when passing over them at the low altitudes produced by low gun-barrel elevation angles. It also has a high-sensitivity electrical impact function and an electrical self-destruct device, together with delayed arming and bore and muzzle safeties. In addition to the above the fuze also features Electronic Counter-CounterMeasure (ECCM) circuits to combat jamming. The fuze arming distance is 200 m and proximity enable range 500 m. TDA of France produces T40 EMMA M and T40 ER M proximity fuzes for use with L/70 Bofors naval guns. In the event of a proximity burst the fuze functioning causes the 120 g Octol main charge to detonate, producing a very high blast effect. The force of the detonation causes the projectile body to shatter into approximately 2,400 fragments. Of these, 650 are tungsten carbide pellets that move outwards at a velocity of between 1,000 and 1,500 m/s. Due to their shape and mass the pellets have a low drag factor and can thus inflict considerable damage on target components several metres from the burst. The curved projectile base also increases fragmentation in the event of a late burst. The projectile self-destructs after 8.5 seconds. When fired against aircraft targets the fuze triggering distance is 6.5 to 7 m. Against missiles, the distance is about 4.5 m. When firing against a target flying at an altitude of approximately 5 m the triggering distance is about 3 m. The brass cartridge case has a semi-rimmed base and is fitted with a percussion primer with a sinoxide detonator. The propellant charge is approximately 485 g of a flash-reduced, single-base nitrocellulose powder (NC 1066) producing a muzzle velocity of 1,025 m/s.

Ammunition for 30 mm Aden Guns
Armament All 30 mm Aden Guns; M230 Chain Gun; Boeing ASP-30 cannon. Development The Mauser MG 213C revolver cannon had a profound effect on European aircraft gun designers in the years following 1945. Development of the basic German design eventually resulted in two associated 30 mm gun designs, the British Aden Gun series and the French DEFA Series 550 weapons. Following early independent projects, shared development work between the two nations resulted in the 30 × 113 mm B cartridge which is nominally interchangeable between the Aden and DEFA series of guns. Differences between priming, propellant loads and other factors, however, render the two types of ammunition incompatible. 30 mm Aden Gun ammunition is produced in France by Giat Industries. The 30 mm Aden Gun has been in UK service for over 50 years and remains available for production for installation in aircraft such as the Jaguar and Hawk. Ammunition production totals reached over 30 million some years ago. Development of 30 mm Aden ammunition is still continuing. Nammo Raufoss AS of Norway produces a 30 mm MP round for firing from Aden cannon. Description All 30 mm Aden Gun rounds are fixed with the projectiles rigidly crimped to their J-type brass cartridge cases; lacquered steel cases have also been used. The cartridge case has a prominent raised belt just above the extraction rim. All projectiles have copper drive bands. Primers are electrical, the latest being the RD1658 (operating at 24 or 48 V). The propellant used is 46 g of single base cut tubular NRN 141 AB. Rounds are fed to the revolver loading mechanism on the Aden Gun in belts formed using pressed steel links. The 30 mm Aden Gun ammunition has been, and is still being, produced in many countries. The listing of types provided here consists of the types currently manufactured in the UK by BAE Systems , RO Defence. HE Mk 6*Z This has been the standard air-to-air and air-to-ground projectile fired from Aden Guns and used by the Royal Air Force for nearly 30 years. The projectile fired has a cold drawn steel body with a pronounced hemispherical base to maximise the internal volume for explosive filling, in this case 48 g of pour-filled Torpex. On detonation this projectile will produce approximately 950 fragments, with a high blast and incendiary effect to the extent that some manufacturers refer to this round as an HE-I. A nose-mounted 944 post impact delay fuze with a safe arming distance of 2.3 m functions after 0.0005 second and will ensure self-destruct 6 to 12 seconds after firing. The TP Mk 4Z matches the ballistics of the HE Mk 6*Z. It incorporates a unique inert insert which is claimed to make the round very cost competitive. A further TP-T Mk 1*Z was developed to meet the specific needs of the Royal Navy. It is matched to the ballistics of the HE Mk 6*Z and is fitted with a tracer which burns for approximately 6 seconds. HE-I, RO 376 The HE-I RO 376 was specifically designed for use in warm climates, the main change being the explosive charge is 26 g of Hexal as opposed to the Torpex of the HE Mk 6*Z. The design of the projectile body is also changed as the HE-I RO 376 has a machined steel body with a flat base. The new body, which weighs 171 g, produces a smaller number of fragments on detonation (approximately 570) but they are larger and more effective on target. The HE-I RO 376 retains the same 944 post impact delay fuze as the HE Mk 6*Z and the ballistics of the two rounds are essentially similar. MPT, RO 379 Also known as the 30 mm MPT-LD (MultiPurpose Tracer - Low Drag). The streamlined projectile used with this round lacks a fuze as it utilises a pyrotechnic fuze with a post impact delay function for maximum behind-armour effects. It, therefore, combines penetration, high blast and incendiary features with high fragmentation. Fuze operation is achieved down to an 80º (NATO) angle of impact on aluminium. The projectile has a flat base with an insert for a tracer element and has thick walls made from high-strength steel. The explosive filling is Hexal. This round meets the requirements of MIL-STD-1466 Safety Criteria and Qualification Requirements for Pyrotechnically Initiated Ammunition (PIA). MP Produced by Nammo Raufoss AS of Norway, this 30 mm MP projectile will function reliably against a 2 mm dural plate at impact angles between 0 and 87º NATO but will not function against a 0.5 mm dural plate in front of the gun muzzle. No fuze is involved as the MP projectile relies upon a drop safe pyrotechnic ignition train. When impacting against aircraft type targets the projectiles will detonate approximately 300 mm within the aircraft. The distribution of fragments is approximately 20º on each side of the line of fire; the fragments are heavy and optimised to defeat material type targets. The secondary incendiary effects will ignite JP4 and JP5 or heavy diesel oil in self-sealing tanks. Incendiary and blast effects are contained within the target. The tracer element is also designed to act as a partial base bleed to reduce the projectile's base drag. The length of the Nammo Raufoss 30 mm MP round is given as 197.2 mm and it weighs 500 g; projectile weight is 225 g. Muzzle velocity is 730 m/s. AP Mk 1*Z This armour-piercing round is no longer produced by RO Defence but may still be encountered. It uses a flat-based projectile with a two-part body assembly protected by a light metal windshield over the nose. The two halves of the body are threaded together and contain a heavy metal penetrator core capable of entering up to 25 mm of armour.

The intention was that it should replace the 9 mm Parabellum cartridge with something having better penetrative ability at short range. The bullet will penetrate a standard M1 steel helmet at 150 m range and 48 layers of Kevlar at over 50 m. The stopping power is claimed to be three times that of the 9 mm Parabellum; the bullet does not fragment but gives up its energy very rapidly on impact. This ammunition is also manufactured in the US by Winchester-Olin. Description The case is rimless, bottlenecked, steel and Berdan primed. The streamlined bullet is composed of a steel and aluminium core within a steel jacket.

Ammunition for Cockerill and ENGESA 90 mm guns
Armament Cockerill Mk II, III and III MA1 guns; ENGESA EC-90 guns. Development The development of the first Cockerill 90 mm light gun system began during 1974. The first production gun, the Mk 1, was replaced by the Mk II which had a revised recoil mechanism. The Mk II was eventually joined by the Mk III which uses a triple-baffle muzzle brake, as opposed to the MECAR devised Mk III MA1 which has a single-baffle muzzle brake to enable the gun to fire an APFSDS-T round. The latter features were available as an enhancement for existing Mk II and III Cockerill Guns. Over 2,000 Cockerill Guns were produced for service throughout the world. Licensed production of the Cockerill Mk II was undertaken in Brazil by ENGESA Engenheiros Espacializados SA. The resultant gun, the EC-90, was further developed by ENGESA with revised recoil lengths. It is fitted to many Brazilian produced armoured vehicles such as the EE-9 Cascavel reconnaissance vehicle, the EE-11 Urutu APC and the X1A2 light tank. This gun is no longer produced. The 90 mm ammunition for the Cockerill Guns is produced by: MECAR SA, Belgium; ENGEQUÍMICA, Brazil ; BAE Systems , RO Defence, UK; and Giat Industries, France. During 1994, MECAR SA released its modernised range of 90 mm ammunition, denoted by the suffix A1. This included the introduction of two independent in-bore safeties on the HEAT-T, HE-T, SMK(WP)-T and HESH-T; well over 100,000 rounds have been produced. MECAR SA now produces only A1 standard rounds. In late 1990, Royal Ordnance plc (now BAE Systems , RO Defence) signed an agreement with Cockerill Mechanical Industries, of Belgium, to become the sole authorised manufacturers of 90 mm Cockerill Gun Mk III ammunition. The 90 mm rounds for the Cockerill Gun Mk III, were originally developed by PRB SA of Belgium in co-operation with Cockerill Mechanical Industries (CMI). After qualification by CMI, 90 mm ammunition was produced by PRB SA but, following the demise of that concern, production is now undertaken by Giat Industries of France. Significant stocks of PRB produced 90 mm Cockerill Gun ammunition remain with many users so a checklist of PRB designations is provided in the text, the same designations being used by Giat Industries' products. Description All rounds for the 90 mm Mk II and III Cockerill Guns are fixed with the finned steel projectiles, crimped into their cartridge cases by a 360º crimping ring. The drive bands are gilding metal or copper. Cartridge cases produced by MECAR SA are brass. In all cases, other than the MECAR 90 mm APFSDS-T M652, a cool burning single-base propellant is used along with a percussion primer. The projectiles all have fin assemblies for in-flight stabilisation with each fin assembly having four fixed T-shaped fins. The 90 mm rounds are provided with special graze action fuzes with two independent safeties which comply with MIL-STD-1316. These fuzes function at very small impact angles, for example as small as 2º incidence, and a tail-mounted tracer element that burns for 4 seconds after firing. In all cases the fuze muzzle safety distance is a minimum of 25 m. A full listing of 90 mm rounds for the Mk II and III Cockerill Guns follows. HE-T MECAR M616A1. Intended for general purpose blast and fragmentation, this round has a steel projectile filled with 1.02 kg of Composition B. The round is fitted with a nose-mounted double safety fuze which complies with MIL-STD-1316. This fuze has a switch which can be set by the firer at PD or Delay. Fired at a muzzle velocity of 700 m/s, the projectile has an operational range of 800 m and a maximum effective range of 2,200 m. The MECAR training round equivalent to the 90 mm HE-T M616A1 is the HE-T (PRAC) M638. The RO Defence equivalent to this HE-T is the 90 mm HE-T RO 924, which weighs 8.5 kg, and the projectile is filled with TNT/HNS. The round length is 631 mm while maximum effective range is 2,200 m. RO Defence also produced a 90 mm HE-APERS RO 925 round, with which fragmentation of the TNT filled projectile is augmented by the inclusion of a prenotched internal fragmentation sleeve combined with a fast reaction percussion fuze. This round has a maximum effective range of 6,000 m using indirect fire techniques. The HE-APERS RO 925 round weighs 11 kg and is 675 mm long. Muzzle velocity is 330 m/s. This round is no longer marketed. The 90 mm HE-T round produced by Giat Industries weighs 8.5 kg and is 631.5 mm long. Projectile weight is 5.1 kg and propellant weight 1 kg. The PRB or Giat Industries designation for the 90 mm HE-T round is HE-T NR501. The PRB equivalent to the HE-T (PRAC) was the HE-TP-T NR558. SMK(WP)-T MECAR M618A1. Intended to produce smoke for screening, target marking, signalling or incendiary purposes this round contains 1.12 kg of White Phosphorus (WP). The nose-mounted fuze involved is a special double safety fuze (complying with MIL-STD-1316) which ignites an internal burster charge to disperse the smoke producing WP. The ballistics of this round the same as the 90 mm HE-T M616A1. The range is 800 mm and maximum effective range 2,000 m. The MECAR training round equivalent to the 90 mm SMK(WP)-T M618A1 is the HE-T (PRAC) M638A1. RO Defence produces the 90 mm Smoke-WP-T RO 932 round weighing 8.5 kg. Round length is 631 mm and muzzle velocity 695 m/s. Maximum effective range is 2,200 m. The PRB or Giat Industries designation for the Smoke WP round is Smoke-WP-T NR502. The PRB equivalent to the MECAR training round HE-T (PRAC) was the HE-TP-T NR558. This round is no longer in series production by Giat Industries. HEAT-T MECAR M620A1. This round is intended primarily for use against armoured targets and has a metal lined shaped charge, containing 510 g of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9) which can penetrate 300 mm of RHA or 1 m of concrete. Muzzle velocity is 900 m/s. The operational range is 1,000 m and maximum effective range is 1,500 m. The MECAR training round equivalent to the 90 mm HEAT-T M620A1 is the HEAT-TP-T M623A1. RO Defence produces the 90 mm HEAT-T RO 907. This round has a 2 kg 60:40 RDX/TNT shaped warhead lined with a copper cone and is 645 mm in length. Round weight is 7.3 kg and muzzle velocity 896 m/s. Maximum effective range is 1,500 m. Royal Ordnance have produced the 90 mm HEAT-TP-T RO 940, a low-cost training round which can be used as a multipurpose training round for the entire Royal Ordnance 90 mm ammunition suite. The 90 mm HEAT-T round produced by Giat Industries weighs 7.7 kg and is 630 mm long. Projectile weight is 4.1 kg and propellant weight 1.2 kg. A matching HEAT-TP-T round is also produced. The PRB or Giat Industries designation for the HEAT-T round is HEAT-T NR478. The PRB/Giat Industries equivalent to the HEAT-T (PRAC) is the HEAT-TP-T NR479. CNT MECAR M621A1. The abbreviation CNT stands for Canister and, as with other rounds of its type, it is a short-range anti-personnel `shotgun' round containing 1,300 lead spheres, each 8.5 mm in diameter and having a total weight of 5.1 kg. The spheres are contained in a blunt-nosed light steel sheet cylindrical casing with longitudinal grooves in the sides. On firing, a combination of centrifugal and aerodynamic forces cause the casing to split open along the longitudinal grooves and disperse the lead spheres forward in an 18º cone, to a maximum operational range of 200 m. At that range the cone will be 9 m wide. Initial muzzle velocity is 700 m/s. RO Defence produce the 90 mm Canister RO 933 which fires 1,200 metal spheres to a maximum effective range of 220 m and a muzzle velocity of 200 m/s. The RO 933 round weighs 6.4 kg and is 352 mm long. ENGEQUÍMICA of Brazil produces its own design of 90 mm Canister round which is stated to have a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s and a maximum operational range of 700 m. The designation is 90G shrapnel. The PRB or Giat Industries designation for this type of round is Canister NR125. This round is no longer in series production by Giat Industries. HESH-T MECAR M625A1. This round is intended for use against armoured targets, although it is also effective against concrete bunkers and structures. It has a round-nosed thin-walled steel projectile containing 1.3 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). On contact with a target the thin steel projectile walls collapse to spread the explosive filling in a `plaster' across the target surface before the delayed action BD/Graze fuze functions to detonate the filling. The resultant detonation forces and blast are then directed over the target surface and transmitted through the target material. When used against RHA, the resultant forces are sufficient to create severe internal spalling effects, usually in the form of a fragment weighing approximately 5 kg which travels at a high velocity inside the target. The muzzle velocity of this round is 750 m/s and operational range 800 m. The MECAR training round equivalent to the 90 mm HESH-T M625A1 is the HESH-TP-T M655A1. RO Defence produces the fin-stabilised 90 mm HESH-T RO 929, described as a multifunction round with an 2.4 kg Composition B warhead. Weight is 7.7 kg and round length 591 mm. Muzzle velocity is 790 m/s and maximum effective range 1,200 m. The 90 mm HESH-T round produced by Giat Industries weighs 7.5 kg and is 591 mm long. Projectile weight is 4.3 kg and propellant weight 1.15 kg. The PRB or Giat Industries designation for this type of round is HESH-T NR503. APFSDS-T MECAR M652A1. This round is used only with the Cockerill Mk III MA1 gun which has a single-baffle muzzle brake. It has a 2.5 kg projectile assembly carrying a monobloc tungsten alloy long rod penetrator. The penetrator is 426 mm long, contained in a three-piece aluminium discarding sabot. It is held in place by a plastic band at the forward end and a plastic obturating band toward the sabot case. A tracer element, which burns for 4 seconds after firing, is located in the penetrator fin assembly. The projectile assembly is crimped to the cartridge case which is filled with 1.8 kg of loose, cool burning, multiperforated propellant. The muzzle velocity is approximately 1,200 m/s and the penetrator can pierce 100 mm of armour set at an angle of 60º, at combat ranges of 1,500 m. Penetrator time of flight to 1,500 m is less than 1.4 seconds. The effective range is more than 1,500 m and accuracy error less than 0.3 mil. The effective operational range of the M652A1 is more than 1,500 m. The equivalent MECAR training round to the 90 mm APFSDS-T M652A1 is the 90 mm TPFSDS-T M663. It has the same external ballistics as the APFSDS-T M652A1 but the penetrator rod is steel. ENGEQUÍMICA of Brazil also developed a 90 mm APFSDS-T round which has been in production since 1988. The penetrator length-to-diameter ratio is 17:1 with a penetrator diameter of 22 mm. Penetrator weight is 2.06 kg and projectile weight (with sabot) is 3.225 kg. Muzzle velocity is 1,150 m/s. It is stated that this round can penetrate a NATO medium tank target at a range of 1,100 m; effective range is up to 3,000 m and accuracy 0.6 mil at 1,000 m. The RO Defence 90 mm APFSDS round is the RO 964. It has a muzzle velocity of 1,080 m/s and the complete round weighs 6.3 kg. It was designed to defeat 130 mm of RHA at 1,000 m. The PRB or Giat Industries designation for their APFSDS-T round was the NR232; it is no longer available. Training devices MECAR SA produces a special subcalibre training device for use with the 90 mm Cockerill Mk II and III guns, known as the TD-20-90 M640. It consists of a one-piece training device resembling a complete 90 mm round with a 20 mm 12-groove right-hand twist barrel running along the centre length of the device. A special 20 mm Target Practice round, the TP-20-90 M634, is hand loaded into a breech in the base of the device which is loaded and fired as if it were a conventional piece of 90 mm ammunition. The 20 mm projectile can be fired to normal combat ranges. The barrel of the TD-20-90 has a life of several thousand rounds. The device is 700 mm long and weighs 7.3 kg. Muzzle velocity of the 20 mm projectile is 750 m/s. It is fired using a percussion primer initiated by the gun's normal firing mechanism. The TP-20-90 round is 185 mm long and weighs 190 g. It has a tracer which burns for 4 seconds. CMI (Cockerill Mechanical Industries) markets another subcalibre barrel insert training device based on the use of special Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec 20 mm TP-T ammunition. The 85-calibre barrel insert occupies the entire length of the barrel and is loaded through the normal breech block. The firing range of 800 to 1,000 m is the same ballistically as for full-calibre ammunition. The TP-T cartridge, the ULA 226 TPT is 203.5 mm long and weighs 320 to 340 g. Dynamit Nobel also offer a subcalibre training device for 90 mm Mk III guns, this time a 14.5 mm device with a training range of 100 m to allow small training areas to be utilised. The 28-calibre single-shot device is inserted into the open breech of the gun and is loaded with 51 mm long cartridges weighing approximately 70 g. The TP-T cartridges simulate the full calibre HEAT-T and HESH-T projectiles and are fired with a muzzle velocity of 150 m/s to a training range of 100 m.

Ammunition for Giat 90 mm CN 90 F1 guns
Armament Giat Industries 90 mm CN 90 F1 and F2 guns fitted to the following vehicles: AML (4 × 4) armoured car with H 90 turret; ENGESA EE-9 (6 × 6) armoured car with H 90 turret; Panhard ERC Lynx (6 × 6) armoured car with Lynx 90 turret; prototype SIBMAS (6 × 6) vehicle with Lynx 90 turret; X1A1 light tank ( Brazil ); GT2 gun fitted to Eland 90 and Ratel 90 ( South Africa ). Development The 90 mm CN 90 F1 gun was originally known as the DEFA D921, so its ammunition is sometimes known as 90 mm DEFA ammunition. The 90 mm CN 90 F1 has also been referred to as the CN90F1. It is a light gun firing fin-stabilised projectiles and is intended for mounting on light vehicles. The F1 gun was produced in South Africa as the 90 mm GT2 for mounting in the Eland 90 and Ratel 90 combat vehicles. At one time some South African-produced guns were mounted on light field carriages but these are no longer in service. Description The ammunition fired by the 90 mm CN 90 F1 and F2 guns is fixed by a single continuous crimping ring, with the projectiles rigidly secured to the straight sided brass cartridge cases. The projectiles are finned and have bodies encircled by copper drive bands. The brass cartridge cases are fitted with percussion primers and have their GBTU 125 multiperforated propellant charges contained inside a silk bag. The ammunition family for the 90 mm CN 90 F1 and F2 guns includes the following rounds: 90 mm HEAT-T, OCC F1 This anti-armour round uses a steel-nosed, aluminium alloy bodied projectile containing a shaped charge formed from 670 g of RDX/TNT 60:40 located behind a copper cone liner. The warhead can penetrate 120 mm of armour plate set at an angle of 60º, or 300 to 320 mm of armour plate set at a vertical angle. The projectile has a maximum range of 1,500 to 1,800 m but the maximum effective range is approximately 1,100 m. For safety, the base-mounted electrical fuze (referred to in some instances as the G4C) is maintained in a short-circuited state until after firing. It will function instantaneously when the nose-mounted piezoelectric generator strikes a hard target and generates an electric current to detonate the explosive filling. The Practice round used to simulate the 90 mm HEAT-T OCC F1 is the completely inert 90 mm TP-T BSCC 90 F1 which uses an aluminium bodied projectile with a tracer element in the base. 90 mm HE, OE F1 Intended for general use, the projectile with this round uses a forged steel body filled with 945 g of RDX/TNT 60:40. It produces blast and fragmentation effects at ranges up a maximum of 1,800 m. The nose-mounted fuze, referred to in some instances as the FUIF2, functions on direct and graze action. Some projectiles have tracer elements lasting 4 seconds fitted to the base. MECAR SA also produce the 90 mm HE-T M631A1, filled with 1 kg of Composition B. 90 mm SMK-WP, OFUM F1 This round may be regarded as a White Phosphorus (WP) filled equivalent to the 90 mm HE OE F1. It employs a similar nose-mounted direct and graze action fuze which functions to burst open the projectile's steel body and release WP creating a smoke screen up to 50 m wide and lasting 20 to 30 seconds. Maximum range is 1,800 m and combat range 800 m. Some of these projectiles may have tracer elements fitted to the base. 90 mm Canister, ODR F1 Intended for use as an anti-ambush and close-in defence anti-personnel round, the 90 mm Canister ODR F1 is fitted with a blunt-nosed, straight sided, thin-walled projectile containing approximately 1,100 lead spheres weighing 4 kg. As the projectile leaves the gun muzzle the projectile casing breaks open to release the lead spheres in a cone-shaped pattern. Maximum effective range is 150 m. ODR stands for Obus de Defense Rapprochée. This round is no longer available from Giat Industries. 90 mm APFSDS-T, M645 This anti-armour round was developed by MECAR SA specifically for use with the 90 mm F1 gun. It has a tungsten alloy long rod penetrator which is fired with a muzzle velocity of 1,050 m/s to an operational range of more than 1,300 m. It can penetrate 70 mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA) at an incidence of 60º. Time of flight to 1,300 m is less than 1.4 seconds. The finned tail assembly contains a tracer which burns for the first 4 seconds of the trajectory. The complete round weighs 6.8 kg of which 1.4 kg is multiperforated propellant. The projectile weighs 2.5 kg and is 425 mm long. The complete round is approximately 645 mm long. A practice round known as the 90 mm FSDS-TP-T M664 has the same ballistic characteristics as the 90 mm APFSDS-T M645 but uses a steel long rod projectile. 90 mm Blank Produced by Giat Industries with a shortened primer.

MECAR 120 mm mortar bombs
Armament All 120 mm smoothbore mortars. Development By MECAR SA as an improved performance set of rounds, for the TDA Type LT mortar and as standard rounds for use in the Royal Ordnance Armoured Mortar System (AMS). Description The 120 mm family of mortar bombs is currently in production by Mecar and consists of HE (Composition B), smoke (WP) and illuminating types. The aerodynamic profile yields ranges in excess of 7,200 m with the TDA LT mortar and greater than 9,000 m with the Royal Ordnance Armoured Mortar System (AMS). The HE round used in turreted armoured mortar systems can be fitted with a direct-fire fuze that will also function in indirect fire. The HE and smoke bodies are made from high-fragmentation cast iron. Obturation is achieved by using a split-type plastic ring which fits into a groove behind the bourrelet. A light-alloy tail unit, incorporating the primary cartridge, is screwed onto the body and six interlocking augmenting cartridges, Type M546, are fitted round the tailboom for use in LT mortars. When fired in the Royal Ordnance AMS, a supplementary augmenting cartridge (Ch 7s) Type M553 is added to achieve the 9,200 m range. The bombs are packaged in two-round NATO-approved polymer containers. Manufacturer MECAR SA.Читати далі
