M830 HEAT (General Dynamics)
M830 High Explosive Anti-Tank Tracer (HEAT-T) is the service round
for the smoothbore 120mm tank gun, used by the US Army M-1A2. This
round serves as a companion to the kinetic energy M829 series
anti-tank munition.
120mm HE Projectile (Rheinmetall)
 A new High Explosive service round, currently under development at
Rheinmetall will be a successor to the DM12A2 currently in service.
The HE round is intended primarily for dealing with long range
anti-tank weapons. It is designed to engage soft and semi-hard
targets, uses high explosive warhead containing steel and heavy
metal fragmentation case. The full caliber warhead is equipped with
a time fuse which also has a percussion function which can be
activated with or without delay to ensure effective target
penetration. Fuse setting is performed automatically by the fire
control system. The weight of the HE round is 19 kg, muzzle velocity
(L44) is 950 m'/sec and with the L55 – 1,100 m'/sec.
M830A1 HEAT-MP-T (ATK)
This multi-purpose HEAT round is type classified as an M830
replacement. It provides greater lethality and longer range and
shorter flight, compared to conventional HEAT rounds. Similar to the
KE cartridge, the HEAT-MP-T uses a discarding sabot with a
sub-caliber warhead, and multifunction fuse facilitating both time
and impact activation. The cartridge uses multi-purpose
fragmentation/shaped-charge warhead which despite its smaller
diameter, compared to the M830, demonstrated 20% performance
increase against bunkers and 30% increase against light armored
vehicles. The HEAT-MP-T can also be used against helicopters. The
total weight of this cartridge is 22.3kg, of which 7.1kg are 19 Perf
Hex JA2 propellant and 11.4kg are the projectile. Muzzle velocity is
1,400m/sec. firing at ranges up to 4,000 m'.

M1028 120mm Canister
(General Dynamics)
The M1028 cartridge, fired from the main cannon of the M1A1/M1A2
Abrams Battle Tank, contains tungsten balls that provide a
"shotgun-like effect" from the muzzle of the tank out to several
hundred meters and can be used to clear enemy dismounts, break up
hasty ambush sites in urban areas, clear defiles, stop infantry
attacks and counter-attacks, and support friendly infantry assaults
by providing cover-by-fire. When fielded, the M1028 will provide
U.S. Army tank units and the Marine Expeditionary Force with
quick-response, highly lethal, direct fire capability. The canister can
also be filled with various payloads, including
less than lethal means (such as chemical agents or "flash and bang"
stun charge). The 11kg projectile
payload is filled with hundreds of tungsten pellets dispersed from the canister immediately after clearing
the muzzle at a speed of 1,410 m/sec, forming an effective lethal
barrage at ranges between 200 – 500 meters. This canister will
replace the flechette ammunition which is currently available only for
105mm guns. The canister cartridge length is 780mm and its weight is
22.9kg. It uses double base propellant. Following the
completion of System
Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase as XM1028, the type
classified M1028
entered low rate production in January 2005, with an initial order
for the production of 3,800 rounds.
