Lieutenant Colonel Michael Cherry, US Army to present briefing on “Ammunition is the Lethality - Developing State-of-the-Art Tank Ammunition for the U.S. Army.”

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 24, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The US Army is in the process of upgrading its Abram tank division to the superior M1A2 SEP4 variant, providing greater lethality, speed, better protection and upgraded weapons. One of the key features of the upgrade is the introduction of the advanced Multi-Purpose 120mm ammunition round, which apparently will replace four current shell blast capacity into one, utilising an ammunition data link and variable fuse adjustments. The new link will assist crews in deciding which ammunition to use in a given situation.

With this in mind, SMi Group are pleased to announce that Lieutenant Colonel Michael Cherry, Product Manager, Large Caliber Ammunition, Product Manager Maneuver Ammunition Systems, US Army, will be speaking at the Future Armoured Vehicles Weapon Systems conference, where he will discuss the latest ammunition and capability upgrades. His presentation is titled “Ammunition is the Lethality - Developing State-of-the-Art Tank Ammunition for the U.S. Army,” and will cover:

• The latest technological advancement in tank ammo – The 120mm Advanced Multipurpose Round
• Conducting continuous analysis of present and future capabilities and establishing requirements, and engineering assumptions for future programs
• The Future - 130mm rounds?
