GENERAL As a result of recent agreements between the United States (US) and a number of its NATO allies, it is intended to establish the interoperability of many weapon systems and ammunition of the various countries. The goal is to enable the safe and effective firing of major types of ammunition of the same size from the same compatible size and type weapon of the NATO armies. Interoperability criteria are now required for many weapons and ammunit ‘items in current development. Determinations are now being made to establish which ‘ammunition is compatible with which weapon: As these are completed, ammunition items wil bbe authorized for use in US weapons by changes to the applicable ammunition and weapons manuals. NATO nations will provide similar ‘authorization in their manuals. Only authorized NATO ammunition will be used. ‘Those items covered in this technical manual have been authorized. If a munitions item has not been authorized, it is because (1) it has not yet been determined to be safe to fire from a US weapon system or (2) it has been determined that the munitions item cannot be safely fired from the US weapon system. NOTE The interchange of munitions with NATO nations is for combined training exercise, ie, US Army troops and NATO nation troops. At the conclusion of any training exercise, munitions drawn from NATO ‘nation troops and not ‘consumed (fired) are to be returned ‘to troops of the NATO nation from whom they were obtained. 1-2, PURPOSE lanning, training, identification | of interoperable artillery ammunition. 13.

The cartridge is fired from the 120mm smooth bore cannon. Description: The 120K HEAT-MP-T, DMI2A1 is a chemical energy round having both antiarmor and antipersonnel capabilities. The round consists of a steel body loaded with explosive surrounding a copper shaped charge liner and wave shaper. The projectile embodies a steel! spike and nose cap which initiates a base detonating fuze located at the rear. of the projectile body. ‘The projectile body has a boom and fin assembly for flight stabilization and the fin contains a tracer for projectile to target visual tracking, |ARD 83-0673, The propellant system utilizes a DM10 steel stub base case with a rubber obturator at the stub case mouth and a combustible wall which encapsulates stick propellant. Functioning: The DMI2A1 is loaded and fired in the normal manner from the 120mm smooth bore tank gun. When the electric primer in the breech of the weapon is initiated, the resulting flash ignites the propelling charge and combustible case. This generates gases which drive the pro- Jectile from the gun and ignite the tracer element. Upon impact, the nose cap is crushed, jating the fuze which detonates the high plosive shaped charge which collapses the cone assembly creating a high velocity focused shock wave and a jet of metal particles that penetrate the target. Antipersonnel capability results from fragmentation of the projectile body sidewall. 215‘TM 43-0001-28-3 ‘Tabulated Data: Complete round: Type ---=-- Fixed, High Explosive Antitank, Multipur- pose w/Tracer 50.7 Ib (23.0 kg) 38.6 in.

It has a fin stabilized subcaliber projectile and a cartridge case of combustible material. riptic ‘The complete round contains a propulsion system consisting of a DM10 stub case with combustible sidewall, propellant and DM72A2 primer while the projectile consists of the subprojectile and aluminum sabot. The KE Penetrator is a two piece core of heavy metal which is screwed and pressed into the sabot. ‘The sabot is made of aluminum and consists of three segments with internal threads. The segments are held together by the obturating, sealing band and sleeve seal. The fin assembly of the subprojectile is a single piece with five fins and a tracer assembly. ARD 83-0674-A Eunetioning: ‘The flame of the burning propellant charge ignites the igniter composition of the tracer. The projectile is forced out of the tube of the weapon by the pressure of the propellant charge gases on the base of the subot and the fin assembly. The cartridge case and cartridge cover burn at the same time. The air resistance acting in the air pocket of the sabot presses the three segments of the sabot outward. The sabot segments separate from the KE penetrator and fall to the ground after a short time. ‘The KE penetrator continues to travel and is stabilized by the fin assembly (subcaliber projectile.

The cartridge is fired from the 120mm smooth bore cannon. Description: ‘The DMI8 cartridge external appearance is identical to that of the DMI2 HEAT-MP-T service round. Internally the round does not contain any explosives, shaped charge liner base fuze or nose cap. The round consists of a steel body with aluminum spike and plastic obturator, in addition to @ fin and boom assembly with tracer. ‘The complete —o nl U =o ‘ARD 83-0671 round propellant system comprises a metal cartridge case base with combustible sidewall and DM72A2 primer. The propellant is a single perforated propellant, both bagged and unbagged with additional segments fitted over each fin. Eunetioning: ‘The DM18 is loaded and fired in the normal ‘manner from the 120mm smooth bore tank gun. When the electric primer in the breech of the weapon is initiated, the resulting flash ignited the propelling charge and combustible case. This generates gases which drive the projectile from the gun and ignite the tracer element.

It is designed to provide > duplication of the service round characteristics at reduced maximum ranges to allow practice firings on short-range proving grounds and trai jing areas. Description: The complete round contains a propulsion system consisting of a metal cartridge case base with combustible sidewall, granular propellant, and DM72A2 primer while the projectile consists of the subprojectile id aluminum sabot. The core is a one piece steel design with a tail cone assembly which is assembled into the sabot by means of thre The tail cone contains nine holes which, in conjunction with the cone, provide stabilization, A reduction of range is obtained by the aerodynamic blocking effect of the holes. The tail cone assembly also contains a tracer. The aluminum sabot is composed of three 120° noninterchangeable segments with internal serew threads matching them on the outer diameter of the subprojectile. The sabot has a silicone rubber seal at the rear to prevent gas Teakage The weight of the complete cartridge is approximately 18.4 kg (40.6 Ib) and the weight of the subprojectile is approximately 3.2 kg (7.1 Ib). Functioning: The DM38 is loaded and fired from the 120mm tank gun in the normal manner. Upon initiation of the electric primer in the breech of the weapon, the resulting flash ignites the propelling ‘charge and combustible case generating gases which drive the projectile from the gun and ignite the tracer. The rear seal of the sabot prevents gas leakage between the sabot segments and the driving forces (gas) propelling the subprojectile down bore. Upon leaving the gun, aerodynamic forces cause the sabot to separate from the subprojectile allowing the subprojectile to continue to target while the sabot, segments fall quickly to earth. The tail cone ‘segment of the subprojectile, due to the nine hole arrangement, causes aerodynamic slowing of the subprojectile to limit its range to 7500m. 221Fixed, TPCSDS-T 40.6 1b (18.4 kg) Blue w/white markings ‘Temperature Limits: Firing: Lower limit 35°F (-31.6°C) Upper li 125.0°F(+51.7°0) Storage: Lower limit -50.8°F(-46.0°C) Upper limit ----~-~ +145.4°F(+63.0°C) Performance: ‘Chamber pressure 56500 psi @ 70°F (3900 bars @ 21°C) Packaging: Standard German Packaging as ‘Supplied (Government Furnished Material) *Packing -------- 1 round per fiber container; I container per wooden box 222 Packing Box: Standard German Packaging (Wooden Box) as Supplied (Government| Furnished Material) Weight --------- 78 1b Dimensions -- 45.6 in. x 9.02in. x 10.24 in.

The high explosive (HE) filler within the projectile may be either east TNT or Composition B. A fuze cavity is either drilled or formed in the filler at the nose end of the projectile. This cavity may be either shallow or deep. A cavity liner, to preclude dusting of HE during transportation and handling, is seated in the cavity and expanded into the lower projectile fuze threads. A supplementary charge is placed in the fuze cavity of projectiles having deep cavities. Projectiles with shallow cavities or deep cavities containing a supplementary charge use only short intrusion, fuzes, PD, or MT. ‘Those with deep cavities will accept the long intrusion proximity fuze after removing the supplementary charge. Projectiles 33,‘TM 43-0001-28-8 ‘may be shipped with a PD or MTSQ fuze or with a closing plug. When shipped with a closing plug, a chip board spacer is assembled between the supplementary charge and plug to limit movement of the former during transportation ‘and handling. ‘The cartridge case contains a percussion primer assembly and seven individually bagged and numbered propelling charge increments. The base of the cartridge case is drilled and the primer assembly is pressed into the base. The pereussion primer assembly consists of a percussion ignition element and a perforated flash tube containing black powder. The seven numbered increment bags are tied together, in numerical order, with acrylic cord. These are ‘assembled into the cartridge case, around the primer flash tube, with Increment 1 at the base of the cartridge case and Increment 7 toward the mouth of the cartridge case. Functioning: If the projectile is unfuzed, the closing plug is removed and a fuze assembled to the projectile prior to adjusting the charge and loading the cartridge into the weapon. Impact of the weapon firing pin results in the initiation of the percussion primer which, in turn, ignites the black powder in the flash tube. ‘The flash tube provides for uniform ignition of the propelling charge producing a rapid expansion of the propellant gas which propels the projectile out of the weapon tube. Engagement of the projectile rotating band with the rifling of the weapon tube imparts spin to the projectile providing inflight stability. Projectile functioning is dependent upon the fuze used and may function ‘on impact (instantaneous or delay), function above ground either at a predetermined height based upon time of flight or function in proximity with the target area.

The fuze consists of a solid steel head threaded into a steel lower cap containing the timing movement, and a steel body containing a detonator. A safety adapter containing a relay and a detonator in addition to an interrupter assembly is threaded into the base of the fuze body. The timing movement is a spring-driven clockwork mechanism secured in the unarmed position by setback pins and centrifugal detents. A time scale graduated from 0 to 100 seconds is inscribed on the rotatable lower cap, and a vernier scale to permit setting accuracy to 0.1 second appears on the base. The safety adapter interrupter mechanism in the base consists of two centrifugal weights which prevent alignment of the detonator with the relay until a safe arming distance of at least 200 feet from the muzzle is reached.TM 43-0001-28-3 Function Upon firing, setback causes the hammer spring to strike the upraised lug of the timing disk, flattening the lug and releasing the disk from the setting pin. When sufficient cent fugal force has developed, the detents holding the escapement lever of the movement assembly and the rotor of the delayed-arming safety adapter move outward, leaving the escapement components free to run. Simultaneously, centrifugal force actuates the arbor lock, which disengages from the arbor and thus releases the mainspring. As the mainspring drives the movement, the rate of rotation of the arbor and, therefore, of the timing disk is governed by the escapement through the gear train. When the notch in the rotating timing disk reaches the upright of the firing arm, the firing arm turns permitting the firing pin safety plate to swing out from under the firing pin flange, allowing the firing pin to strike the detonator.

When the timing disc has rotated for the time set, a notch turns the firing arm and permits the firing pin to strike the primer. The primer initiates the explosive train through a relay to the projectile. If superquick action was preselected, the superquick firing pin strikes the detonator upon impact to initiate the explosive train.

Description: The charge is a three-inerement white bag type, multiperforated Propellant M6 in acrylic viseose-rayon bags. The bags are tied together by four tying straps attached to the top of Increment No. 1 and knotted on top of Increment No. 3. The tying straps are reinforced by cord tied tightly around the junction of Increment Nos. 2 and 3, Each propelling charge has an igniter core asgembly extending through the center of the charge. The core assembly consists of three rigid Polyurethane tubes containing bagged igniter ‘AR 101804 cores of black powder. The igniter tubes for Zones 1 and 3 contain bell shaped ends which assemble over the ends of the igniter tube in Increment No. 2. A red or brown cloth igniter pad, filled with black powder, is sewn to the base of Increment No. 1. The igniter core for Increment No. 1 is sewn to the igniter base pad and is loose in the Increment No. 1 igniter tube. The cores for Increment Nos. 2 and 3 are tied inside the igniter tubes for these increments. An igniter protective cap is placed over the igniter base pad for protection in shipment and storage. ‘An additive jacket is issued separately for assembly over Increment No. 3 when firing full charge. All charges are packed with a percussion primer. The flash reducer which is a part of the DM32, is located between Increment No. 2 and No.3. 6.19-reducing additive jacket, ‘assembled to Increment No. 3, is used when firing a full charge. It consists of two 267mm x 460mm (10.6 x 18.4 in.) cloth-backed sheets of additive mixture stitched together. The additive mixture is composed of 47 percent titanium dioxide and 53 percent wax. The cloth backing, which is bonded to and overlaps the sheets of additive mixture, is stitched to an unbonded tough plastic film casing which serves us a Jacket liner. When compressed along the seams, the jacket arches to form a cylinder with a diameter of approximately 190mm (7.6 in.) NOTE: If the additive mixture is cracked or the plastic sheet is ripped, the additive jacket is still acceptable for use. Lise the additive jucket over Increment No. 3 only. Functioning: When the primer is initiated in the breech-block of the gun, flush ignites the black powder in the igniter pad. The flame proceeds through the powder in the igniter tubes to accomplish uniform ignition of the propelling charge through all three increments. The burning propellant generates rapidly expanding gases to propel the projectile through the gun tube at the velocity required to reach the target. When the additive jacket is employed for full charge firing, the mixture of titanium dioxide and wax in the cloth backing serves to reduce bore wear at the origin of rifling in the cannon. ‘Tabulated Dat Propelling Charge: T ~~ White bag, separate loaded propelling charge wa-=-= 25.4kg (55.8 Ib) - 1257mm (50.3 in. max) = 203mm (8.12 in. max) Cannon (Weapon used with) ~- - M113, M113A1 (M107) 6-20 Propellant: ‘Composition - Grain type ~ Primer Primer ‘Temperature Limits: M6 ‘perforated cylinder, UD =2.35 == 24.9 kg (55 Ib) ‘2mm (0.08 in.)

White Bag Propelling Charge M2C1 is used for zone firing with Charges 5 thru in 203mm (8 in.) howitzer cannons. Description: The charge consists of a base section (Charge 5) and two unequal increments (Charges 6 and 7) for zone firing. The increments are assembled end to end in sequence, and held in place by four tying straps sewn to the base of Increment § and tied over the top of Increment 7. A red cloth igniter pad containing 140g (6 02) of black powder is sewn to the bese of Increment 5. Each increment of the charge and the igniter pad b ‘an 101978 is identified by black stencil markings. In use a flash reducer is inserted under the tie straps at the forward end of the charge. The flash reducer is a separate item of issue to be used when firing all zones of the M2C1 Propelling Charge. It consists of a square pad of red cloth containing a 460g (1 Ib) mixture of potassium sulfate and black powder. ‘The flash from the primer ignites the black powder igniter pad, which in turn ignites the propellant in the charge. The burning propellant generates gases which force the projectile out of the gun tube at a velocity required to reach the target. The flash reducer serves to reduce the 631‘TM 43-0001-28-3, amount of blast overpressure at the muzzle. Although the flash reducer increases the quantity of smoke, it must be used in daylight firing as well as night firing unless it is tactically impossible.
