Tank DS Flashcards
What is the XM19 ARAT ?
A self contained sealed box containing elements of metal and explosive. Inside is an explosive casette that is sheet explosive sandwhiched between two metal plates.
How does the XM19 ARAT disrupt the shape charge ?
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.

APFSDS-T KE-W A2
CANISTER ANTI PERS M1028
TPMP-T M1002
TPCSDS-T M865
TP-T M831A1
How does the Cart 120mm HEAT-MP-T M830A1 work?
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.
