| Shotgun Tank Round - XM1028 120mm Canister Tank Cartridge |
 |
The Tank Cartridge, 120mm, Canister, XM1028,
is a tank round comprised of 1150 (est.)
tungsten balls, which are expelled upon
muzzle exit. There is no fuse on this round.
While the dispersion pattern increases with
range as the velocity of the balls decreases,
the dense tungsten balls are used to minimize
the velocity fall-off. This program responds
to the USFK urgency of need signed by the
CINC in Dec '99. RAPT Initiative Funding to
be used for 6.0M in FY02 to accelerate
development by one year earlier than
previously planned.
This round meets urgent CINC, USFK
requirements to provide effective rapid
lethal reaction against massed assaulting
infantry armed with hand held anti-tank and
automatic weapons at close range (500 meters
or less) thereby improving survivability.
Additionally, this round will significantly
increase the tank's lethality and enhance the
tank crew's survivability. This additional
capability will give the Abrams Tank the
ability to survive RPG ambushes and to fully
support friendly infantry assaults.
The M1028 Integrated Product Team achieved
type classification standard of the canister
round on 24 June 2005. The achievement
followed closely their urgent release action,
with rounds from early lots already headed to
where they will do the most good. The earlier
significant accomplishment happened in 2004
when the IPT successfully reached its
milestone C, Type Classification for Low Rate
Production Review, and the recommendation for
urgent release to deployed forces by the
Materiel Release Acceptance Board.
The 120mm M1028 Canister, formerly the
XM1028, product and core team were honored as
being one of the top 10 Army inventions of
2004. By 07 December 2004, the M1028
documentation and performance had been
reviewed by the staff of the Program
Executive Officer for Ammunition. Then, the
program's executive officer, Brig. Gen. Paul
S. Izzo, was briefed by Frank Altamura, the
Office of the Project Manager Maneuver
Ammunition System's item manager, and key
staff. Izzo then signed the milestone
decision authority documentation, which
granted authority for the program to move
forward into low-rate initial production.
Shortly after milestone C was approved, two
urgent fielding requests were received by
OPM-MAS in support of Operation Iraqi
Freedom. One request came from the Marine
Corps. The second request came from Coalition
Forces Land Component Command. The Coalition
Forces UFR, approved by the G-3, was
processed to respond to a request from the
1st Cavalry Division that was deployed to
Iraq. The entire low-rate initial production
lot was going to Iraq to support the current
conflict.
In order to meet the urgent fielding
requirement, the team was fortunate to have
several existing components tested and
available from other 120mm family of
cartridges. The primer train, combustible
cartridge case and reclaimed propellant all
went 'into the mix.'
The M1028 is the first 120mm tank round to be
fully insensitive-munitions compliant as
certified by the Army Insensitive Munitions
Board. The M1028 has also demonstrated
effectiveness against other targets. The
cartridge has been successfully tested
against vehicles, structure walls and for
obstacle reduction capabilities. Lethality
has even been demonstrated on targets behind
these structures. The M1028 adds a really
powerful tool for tank crews and the troops
they support.
The Marine Corps had the opportunity to fire
a handful of the M1028 rounds during their
gunnery training exercise in February 2005 at
Camp Lejeune, N.C., in preparation for
re-deployment to Iraq. Feedback was that the
rounds impressed the tankers as well as a
battalion commander from the 2nd Marine
Division and the commanding general of the
2nd Marine Division beyond their
expectations.
While industry was generating the first lots
of low-rate production, partners at Fort
Knox, Ky. and the ranges sped to develop the
training, tactics and procedures needed to
quickly field the M1028 to where it's needed.
The ammunition support teams have gone into
the area of responsibility to investigate
what Soldiers need most. Soldiers and their
leaders were very excited about being able to
add canister to their inventories - the
quicker the better.
