XM1147 Advanced Multi Purpose AMP

Advanced Multi Purpose (AMP): The XM1147 120mm cartridge is the next generation high explosive multipurpose round for the Abrams M1A2 main battle tank. The round, when fielded, will replace four rounds currently in inventory (M830, M830A1, M908 and M1028). The AMP is designed to retain performance of these rounds against primary target sets which include light armor, bunkers, personnel and obstacle reduction/rubbling. The round also adds new capabilities which include antipersonnel airburst out to 2km as well as the ability to breach reinforced concrete walls up to 8in thick with direct and oblique impacts on the wall target.
The AMP is compliant to HERO (Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance) and has the first fully HERO compliant primer. The round also is E3 compliant and has been tested to withstand Electromagnetic Environments, Electromagnetic Pulse and Personnel Electrostatic Discharge.
The AMP warhead also has several advancements in soldier safety. These include an insensitive munition ring that separates the fuze from the warhead at elevate temperatures to prevent warhead detonation in the event of fire.
AMP is compliant with STANAG4385 and 4493 requirements. It is interoperable with 120mm smoothbore cannons.
Performance data shows a muzzle velocity of 1,150m/sec with a range beyond 2,000 metres.
Northrop Grumman expects to begin production in early 2020 as the development is on track with developmental test and evaluation and subsequently, Milestone C approvals to occur at end of year 2019.
Video features Full Bore High Explosive Multi-Purpose with Tracer (HEMP-T); Multi-Mode Programmable Fuze; High Explosive Warhead with Embedded Tungsten Fragments
