Tank-automotive & Armaments COMmand Subsystems Challenge Main Armaments Launcher with swing chamber Compact ammo handling needed to allow more room for stowed ammo Recoil management High recoil forces and light vehicles present unique challenges while minimizing under volume. Fire Control Direct and indirect compatible with network centric force Ammo Suite Electro-thermal-chemical (ETC) Propulsion High energy propellant with low sensitivity and precision ignition in compact cartridge Multi-Mode Warhead Development Effects against multiple targets with one munition type Advanced Materials Lightweight & High Strength -THE RECOIL MANAGEMENT SUBSYTEM BASELINE IS FOOB THIS APPROCH HAS BEEN TRIED BEFORE IN VARIOUS ARTILLERY SYSTEMS AND ALTHOUGH FEASIBILITY HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IT REQUIRES PRECISION IGNITION TO WORK. THAT IS WHY WE SELECTED ETC IGNITION. AS YOU WILL SEE LATER, IT PROVIDES THIS AS WELL AS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL MUZZLE ENRGY. - THE SWING CHAMBER LAUCHER USES THE CHAMBER AS THE AMMO TRANSFER MECHANISM THUS ELIMINATING WASTED VOLUME WHICH CAN BE USED FOR MORE AMMO STORAGE. OR THE REDUCED UNDER ARMOR VOLUME CAN BE TRADE WITH PLATFORM WEIGHT. -THE ADVANCED FIRE CONTROL SUBSYSTEM Must BE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING BALLISTIC SOLUTIONS AIMING AND STABILIZATION ACROSS LARGE VARIATIONS IN ELEVATION AND AZIMUTH WHILE ON THE MOVE. LETHALITY IS PROVIDED BY A THREE ROUND FAMILY ALL OF WHICH REQUIRE ETC IGNITION AND HIGH ENERGY,REDUCED VULNERABILITY PROPELLENT. FINALLY, INTEGRATED MULTI FUNCTIONAL,SELECTABLE WARHEADS ARE BEING DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE TARGET DEFEAT KILL MECHANISMS. Tank-automotive & Armaments COMmand

Swing Chamber Cannon / Autoloader Challenge Main Armament Launcher with swing chamber – CTA Compact ammo handling needed to allow more room for stowed ammo – 40 to 50 rds Enable 15-20 rounds/min burst firing rate Cannon weight to be 3500 / 3000lbs Direct/Indirect fire -10 to +55 degree firing elevation

Recoil Management Challenge Solution Extended recoil stroke for direct fire, reduced stroke for higher angle, indirect fire, lower impulse rounds Systems concerns dictate we minimize weight and launcher imbalance Reduced stroke for high elevation firing minimizes turret intrusion (FOOB complexity increases weight and volume, although recoil stroke is less) Type Risk Recoil Stroke (mm) Weight (lbs) Mount Height (mm) Mount Width (mm) Mount Vol. (m3) Under Armor Imbalance (lbs) Recoil Volume (m3) Equil.
