Fap 20mm x 102 ammunition/pea280frangible armour piercing

The “Frangible” concept was developed to defeat both“hard” and “soft” targets, without recourse to the use ofconventional high explosives and fuzes

The FAP round was specifically designed for aircraft can-nons, such as M61, and comprises a frangible tungstenalloy core plastic moulded in-situ in a steel body fitted witha “tombak” (brass/copper) driving band

On impact, the frangible tungsten core penetrates the outerskin of the target and then progressively breaks up as itpasses through the remaining structure. Thereby releasinga highly energetic fragment cloud, which causes damagedeep inside the target and ensures a high kill probability

The FAP round can be deployed in both the air-to-groundand air-to-air roles and has the same trajectory as the lowdrag PGU28/B and M-70 LD ammunition

Due to its design concept, the FAP round is intrinsically safefrom ricochets as the core breaks up on ground impact

Apfsds-t 25mm x 137 ammunition/pmb090

armour piercing fin stabilised discarding sabot with tracer

This new generation of armour piercing subcalibre ammu-nition is designed to defeat both monobloc and spacedarmour targets found on the battlefield of today and for theforeseeable future

Based on the well proven Rheinmetall subcalibre techno-logy, employing an in-situ plastic moulded sabot withintegral driving band, it suffers none of the problems asso-ciated with the traditional slipping rotating band designwith respect to the influence of adverse barrel wear andatmospheric conditions

As the projectile is launched at full spin, sabot discard is essentially instantaneous after muzzle exit with minimum penetrator perturbation, resulting in excellent ammunition accuracy

The ability of the ultra low drag tungsten alloy long rodpenetrator to defeat RHA and HHA armours, even at very low angles of obliquity at extended ranges, makes APFSDS-Tthe essential choice for vehicle armament

APFSDS-T ammunition can be deployed together withFAPDS-T (Frangible) ammunition to provide IFVs with apotent self defence capability against both ground-to-ground and air-to-ground attack

Ballistically matched subcalibre training ammunition isavailable to ensure realistic troop training

Fap 27mm x 145 ammunition/peb327 (dm103)frangible armour piercing

This ammunition is specifically designed for use in the BK27aircraft (revolver) cannon, to defeat both “soft” and “hard” targets, without recourse to the use of conventional high explosives and fuzes

The complete round consists of a lacquered steel cartridgecase and electric primer, loaded with triple base propellantwith a projectile containing a payload of a core of “Frangi-ble” tungsten alloy surrounded by a large number of tung-sten alloy spheres and fitted with a sintred iron driving band

On impact, the payload penetrates the outer skin of the tar-get and then progressively breaks up and expands as it passes through the remaining structure, releasing a highlyenergetic fragment cloud deep inside the target with dev-astating effects

The round can be deployed in both the air-to air and air-toground roles and has the same trajectory as the existinginservice 27 mm x 145 ammunition. Due to its design con-cept, the FAP round is intrinsically safe through feeding andfiring, with the additional advantage of reduced risk from ricochets, as the payload breaks up on ground impactDual use – combat and practice ammunition

Pele-t 30mm x 173 ammunition pmc381

penetrator with enhanced lateral effects with tracer

PELE is a completely new ammunition concept for fuzeless ammunition without any reactive materials

This new development in ammunition technology has supe-rior performance to conventional ammunition but without either HEI or fuze

The modern design of the PELE ammunition creates a pro-jectile which has a high fragmentation performance com-bined with a remarkable degree of penetration performance whilst simultaneously providing an unsurpassed level of safety in transportation, handling and storage

The physical effect of PELE ammunition is based on the projectile body. This results in an extremely high internal pressure when the projectile impacts a target causing the projectile to fracture and in turn deliver the devastating effect within the target

Compared to the PELE-T Pen Version (PMC 384) this PELE-Tround has no integrated penetrator and is designed formaximum fragmentation

Dual use – in service and practice

Abm/Ketf 30mm x 173 ammunition/pmc308air burst munition/kinetic energy time fuze

KETF ammunition, based on the NATO qualified Aheadtechnology, contains an Electronic Timer Module which is programmed inductively at the muzzle with compensation for variations in projectile velocity to ensure precise down-range payload release

The payload consists of 162 cylindrical tungsten alloy sub-projectiles, each weighing 1.24g, which are released by a small ejection charge (0.5g) just ahead of the target

The individual subprojectiles are spin stabilised and forma lethal cone of “fragments”, which significantly increaseshit probability, especially at extended ranges

The lethality of the KETF ammunition can be adjusted by varying the stand-off distance at which the subprojectiles are released in front of the target and the number of rounds fired

The ability to adjust the stand-off distance, ensures that KETF ammunition is able to defeat a wide range of modernbattlefield threats including, IFVs, ATGM bunkers, dis-mounted troops and helicopters

KETF ammunition based on the Ahead technology is the ideal solution for the modern vehicle armament role, as well as for the terrestrial air defence, and naval applications

30 mm x 173 FAPIDS-T / PMC 283

The frangible ammunition was developed to defeat both hard and soft targets, withoutrecourse to the use of conventional high explosives and fuzes. Based on the well-proven Oerlikon Contraves sub-calibre technology, employing an in-situ plastic-moulded tungsten alloy core with integrated driving band, the FAPDS ammunition has avery high muzzle velocity. As a result, a flat projectile trajectory and a short flight timesignificantly increase the hit probability.

On impact, the frangible tungsten core penetrates the outer skin of the target and thenprogressively breaks up as it passes cascading through the remaining structure, therebyreleasing a highly energetic fragment cloud which causes damage deep inside thetarget and thus ensures a high kill probability. The short flight time of the round and thedevastating effects of the frangible metal core on various types of targets make FAPDS-Tthe ultimate choice for air defence against targets attacking at low level, in particularcombat helicopters.

FAPDS-T ammunition can also be employed - together with the APFSDS-T (long-rod)ammunition - to provide IFVs with a powerful self-defence capability against bothground and air-to-ground attacks. For training purposes, ballistically matched sub-calibre practice ammunition is available.
