Q

How does the XM19 ARAT disrupt the shape charge ?

A

The detonation of the sheet explosive within the cassette sends the two armour plates in opposite directions and the combination of the detonation and moving plates disrupts the shape charge jet.

Q

How does the Cart 25mm MP Self Destruct MK2’s self destruct function work?

A
  1. Projectile misses target
  2. Tracer, after 5.3s, heats the thin wall between the tracer and self destruct
  3. Causes the HE charge to detonate
  4. Projectile self-destructs.

42
Q

How does the Cart 120mm HEAT-MP-T M830A1 work?

A

1- Aerodynamic forces cause sabot and obturator to separate
2- Setback allows the release mechanism in the M774 to release rotor from first safe position
3- Voltage generators activated on setback, charging the M774 firing capacitor and M74 proximity fuze capacitor
4- Deceleration on exiting the barrel allows rotor to move into the armed position aligning the explosive train
5- Target sensed by M74, firing signal is sent to M774 fuze
6- M774 firing capacitor provides energy to initiate M69 detonator
7- M69 detonator initiates fuze lead cup, initiates booster cup, initiates warhead
8-Copper jet formed along with shrapnel and blast.

A

M758

49
Q

What does the cone stabiliser do on the TPDSCS-T?

A

The cone stabiliser has consists of 6 equally spaced slots that impart spin causing the projectile to lose ballistic stability. this reduces the range to 8000m
