GUN MOUNT AMMUNITION UTILIZATION FEASIBILITY STUDY

INTRODUCTION

I. The U. S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory, White Oak, was requested (by WEPTASK RREN-ST-038/212/5/0000-00-000) to "provide BUWEPS with a compilation of current U. S. Army ammunition which could be utilized as a basis for development for new Naval Gun Mounts." The WEPTA5K specified that the study include 75-millimeter to 5-inch calibers but as the study progressed it became apparent that the additional effort to expand the study to 280 millirfteters would be relatively minor. Therefore, for completeness, this compilation includes all current Army ammunition from 75 millimeter to 280 millimeter for guns, howitzers, mortars and recoil less rifles.

2. Sources of information for this study were primarily Army Technical Manuals (TM's) and Army Materiel Command (formerly Office Chief of Ordnance) Technical Information Reports (TIR's). In addition, conferences were held with personnel of Army Materiel Command Headquarters, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and Picatinny Arsenal. A bibliography of applicable TM's and TIR's is given in Appendix A.

. Current Army Ammunition Status

3. Present day Army weapons are classified according to the following basic types:

a. Gun - A term generally applied to all fire arms but as a type of artillery it is a cannon with a relatively long barrel, low angle of fire, and high muzzle velocity. Present calibers are 75, 76, 90, 105, 120, 155, 165, 175 and 280 millimeter. In a special category is the 152-milli- meter gun-launcher cannon (shillelagh system). <

b. Howitzer - A cannon with a medium length barrel operating at a relatively high angle of fire and medium muzzle velocity. Present calibers are 105 and 155 millimeter and 8 inch.

c. Mortar - A cannon with a short barrel having a shorter range and a higher angle of fire than a Howitzer. Present calibers are 81 milli- meter and 4.2 inch.

d. RecoiI less Rifles - A type of gun designed to eliminate the rearward recoil force of firing. These weapons are light weight and primarily used as anti-tank weapons. Present calibers are 90, 106 and 120 millimeter.

In addition, some rocket launchers are capable of firing conventional projectiles but these weapons are unique and not considered a type of gun. Only the XM70EI, 115-millimeter weapon falls in this category and is included in this study.

NOLTR 63-115 CONFIDENTIAL

4, Ammunition for the above weapons is classified into one of the following functionally descriptive categories:

HE - High explosive HEP - High explosive plastic HEAT - High explosive anti-tank (shaped charge) WP - White phosphorus (smoke) AP - Armor piercing (solid shot) APG - Armor piercing capped (with heat-treated steel caps, some

rounds contain sma M HE"f i Ned cavities) CAN - Canister HVAP - High velocity armor piercing HVAP-DS - High velocity^ armor piercing^ discarding sabot ILL - IIluminating APOS - Armor piercing, discarding sabot GB or VX - Nerve gas HD or H - Mustard gas LEAFLET - Propaganda BEEHIVE - Anti-personnel HEAT Multipurpose - HEAT, HE and WP ATOMIC - Nuclear

In addition to the service ammunition listed above there are also several types of non-tactical ammunition. These include target practice ammunition, dummy ammunition, training ammunition, blank cartridges, etc. Only service- type ammunition has been included in this study.

5. For the purpose of recording the status of items of materiel from the standpoint of development and suitability for service use, items are type classified by appropriate ordnance technical committee action. Type classification provides a basis upon which to broadly judge the current qualitative adequacy of Army materiel and to plan and carry out its procurement, issue, maintenance and disposal. Items are authorized status in one of the following types:

a. Development category - materiel currently under development.

b. Limited-production type - (LP) - an item under development con- sidered to be promising enough operationally to warrant Initiating pro- curement and production prior to completion of development and adoption as a standard item.

c. Standard types - the standard types designate the Items that have been adopted as suitable for U. S. Army use (or other agencies when the Army Is the supply agency) which are acceptable as assets to meet operational requirements; are authorized for inclusion in equipment authorization documents; and are described in published adopted items lists. There may be more than one standard type or more than one item of any specific standard type to fulfill the same requirement. Standard types are

subdivided as follows;

(1) Standard A - the most advanced and satisfactory items currently available to fill operational requirements.

(2) Standard B (substitute standard) - items which have limited acceptability to fill operational requirements. These items are normally used and issued as substitutes for Standard A items.

(3) Standard C (limited standard) - items which have only marginal acceptability for operating requirements and are being forced out of the system as stocks of more adequate items become adequate to meet requirements.

d. Obsolete category - Items which are no longer acceptable for U. S. Army use.

Normally, following a program of evaluation and acceptance, ammunition will go from the development status to Standard A status; as newer ammunition is developed and becomes Standard A, the older Standard Aanmunition reverts to Standard B, then to Standard C, and finally obsolete.

6. To prevent any ammunition compilation from becoming unwieldy and because it would be of no interest for future Navy planning, all ammunition for weapons which are currently obsolete, of marginal acceptability by Army standards (Standard C), or for which development has been terminated with- out standardization has been omitted from subsequent tables. Weapons systems thereby removed from further consideration in this report are listed below so the reason for their omission will be understood.

a. All 75 mm Howitzers (Standard C or obsolete)

b. All 75 mm Recoil less Rifles (Standard C)

c. 75 mm Gun M3 (Standard C)

d. All 110 and 156 mm Howitzers (program terminated)

e. 105 mm Mortar (program terminated)

f. Also the development of the following specific weapons has been terminated: T-I85EII 76 mm gun, TI32E3 90 mm gun (shallow rifling), T-178 90 mm gun, T-140 105 mm gun, T-179 120 mm gun, T-180 155 mm gun, T-208 90 mm gun (smooth bore), T-210 105 mm gun (smooth bore).

Compilation of Current Army Ammunition

7. Current Standard A, B, and developmental ammunition is listed In Table I. The table Is arranged according to weapon caliber and nomenclature for the applicable family of compatible ammunition. Since the weapons are

Page 11: TO - dtic.mil · For Release to Military and Government ... HEAT - High explosive ... aircraft guns Ml and M2 and the 120mm anti-aircraft gun Ml are now Standard B

NOLTR 63 115 CONFIDENTIAL

usually one component of a weapon system (i.e. 76 mm M32 gun used on M4I tank), the weapon system application is given for information. Ammunition is categorized as fixed, semi-fixed, or separate loading; and as Standard A, B, or developmental. Where available the ammunition weight, length, muzzle velocity and range are given for Standard A items. For fixed and semi- fixed ammunition the dimensions and weight of the projectile and complete cartridge are given whereas for separate loading ammunition the projectile and charge are dimensioned separately. Nomenclature for fixed and semi- fixed ammunition is for the complete cartridge,whereas nomenclature for separate loading ammunition is for the projectile only. The 90 mri anti- aircraft guns Ml and M2 and the 120mm anti-aircraft gun Ml are now Standard B. Since the ammunition is compatible with similar caliber weapons, these weapons are excluded from Table I and the ammunition Is listed as Standard B for the appropriate similar weapons.

8. Table I is intended to be only a summary of current Army ammunition. The many characteristics and minor variables between various types and modifications of ammunition are quite extensive and such detail would detract from the overall conciseness and clarity of this report. Army ammunition Is described in excellent detail in the TM's and TIR's referred to in Appendix A. No purpose is served by copying Army documents so only the current nomenclature and major characteristics are extracted, and the reader is referred to the appropriate Army literature for detailed in- formation. Except in certain instances, only the family of ammunition (i.e. M3I3) is tabulated and current modifications (I.e. M3I3 Al, M3I3 B2 etc.)are not indicated. |t is believed that to refer to specific mods as the latest may be misleading since changes are in continuous process and most mods are of a minor nature.

Fuze Interchanqeab iIity

9. Tables II A and II 3 are projectile-fuze interchangeabiIity charts, cross referenced against Table |. Current fuzes for use with Standard A projectiles listed in Table I are listed. No Standard B or developmental fuzes are Included on this chart. Fuzes shown on this chart are only those which are completely authorized for the projectiles shown and do not include any combat emergency-on Iy type fuzes. As with projectiles, fuzes are covered completely in the TM's and TIR's referred to in Appendix A. This chart is only a summary of current applicable artillery and mortar fuzes.

Environmental Considerations

10. Personnel at Army Materiel Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground and Picatinny Arsenal were consulted to determine the environmental qual- ifications of the projectiles and fuzes listed in Tables I and II. There was a general lack of readily available environmental information for the specific projectiles and fuzes under consideration. Comments, with refer- ences to the appropriate TIR's, on the environmental qualifications of pro- jectiles and fuzes as determined from the available data are listed in

4 CONFIDENTIAL

Page 12: TO - dtic.mil · For Release to Military and Government ... HEAT - High explosive ... aircraft guns Ml and M2 and the 120mm anti-aircraft gun Ml are now Standard B

NOLTR 63-115 CONFIDENTIAL

Appendix B. Of course the Army ammunition is evaluated with the expected Army environmental conditions in view; however, it is believed that any Army ammunition that is Standard A would meet the majority of the Navy environmental qualifications. Before a projectile or fuze is adopted as Standard A, several hundred items are tested and the ability of the item to meet the Military Standard and JAN test specifications such as standard shocks, vibrations, temperatures, humidities,etc.,is welI demonstrated. It is therefore recommended that any projectile or fuze tentatively con- sidered for Navy use be studied in more detail on a per case basis. If considered necessary for Navy certification, a small sample lot should be procured and subjected to certain specific tests to substantiate that any unique Navy environment which may possibly differ from Army environment is satisfied.

Conclusions

II. The following conclusions are offered for this study:

a. Complete data pertaining to Navy usage of Army ammunition are not available, making a definite "accept or reject" conclusion difficult. However, one logical conclusion is that only Standard A material should be considered for Navy application. |f tentatively selected for consideration as Navy ammunition, any item must be studied in more detail for the purpose of substantiating qualifications within the Navy environment. An evaluation program should be conducted where necessary.

b. System compatibility of ammunition in a Navy weapon system must be demonstrated by tests. Caution must be exercised in converting ammunition from a single-loading Army weapon to a rapid-loading automatic Navy weapon.

c. Repackaging of atrmunition will normally be required for the Navy stockpile-to-target sequence. This is a relatively minor consideration and should hot affect the tactical aspects of Navy utilization of Army ammunition,

d. This report summarizes information currently available on Army projectiles, cartridges, and fuzes. Much specific and detailed information is available in the TM's, TIR's, and other publications referred to in Appendix A. These documents are continually being revised and updated, giving the latest current information on all ammunition under development and being standardized by the Army, Since 1954 a TIR has been prepared and maintained in a constant state of updating on all projectiles, car- tridges, and fuzes under Army development. The Navy could best keep abreast of current Army ammunition developments by means of the appropriate TIR's as they are published since the information contained in this report will rapidly become obsolete as Army developments progress.

e. With judgment guided by anticipated Navy requirements, the following i tems are not recommended:

5 CONFIDENTIAL

Page 13: TO - dtic.mil · For Release to Military and Government ... HEAT - High explosive ... aircraft guns Ml and M2 and the 120mm anti-aircraft gun Ml are now Standard B

NOLTR 63-115 CONFIDENTIAL

(1) All 75 mm ammunition. This is Standard B or lower and is rapidly being phased out of Army planning.

(2) All other Standard B or lower projectiles, cartridges or fuzes which are compatible with current Standard A weapon systems.

(3) Fuze M 520 Al. May not arm when used with a 155 Wm Howitzer at the lowest charge in a worn tube. The fuze is sensitive to shock and friction. A pull wire provides safety during shipment and rough handling.

(4) Fuze M 514 Al. Will result in 50^ failure of proximity function- ing under the following circumstances: 155 mm gun and Howitzer at 55° elevation; 8-Inch Howitzer at 50° elevation; 240 mm gun at 45° elevation.

(5) M 328 Smoke Shell for 4.2-inch Mortar. There is excessive pillaring and dissipation of the smoke with inadequate duration of screening. It Is unsuitable In the extreme heat of the desert. |t is unsuitable for aerial delivery because it is unsafe in case of a malfunctioning parachute.

12. Current Army ammunition developmental trends are as follows:

a. Project!I es - At the present time the principal effort is being exerted on the improvement of HE, HEAT, chemical and anti-personnel rounds.

b. Fillers for Projectiles - The current trends in the development of fillers for projectiles are to provide explosives with a higher rate of detonation and better stability at high temperatures than those used In World War II, and to improve all other fillers.

c. Combustible Cartridge Cases - Such cases have been developed for the 40 mm gun. Under developemnt are a fully combustible cartridge case and primer system for the T-384 105 mm HEAT round. Sufficient knowledge has been acquired to permit the design of a combustible cartridge case for any set of ballistic requirements. None have been standardized to date.

d. Fuzes - Numerous improvements in the design of fuzes have been made since World War 11 as the result of demands for better performance and because of the introduction of new rounds, particularly those with fin- stabilized projectiles. Fuzes have been made more sensitive, accurate, and versatile by application of new materials, new techniques and new mechanisms. Safety and environmental insensitivity have been improved. Standardization of contour, thread, ruggedness, etc., has been done where possible to make a single fuze applicable to an increased number of projectiles.
