- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Maneuver Ammunition Systems, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, 07806-5000 is seeking possible sources for the production of M1002 and M865A1 Tank Training Cartridges, and refurbishment of M1002 containers currently in the inventory. The applicable NAICS code for this potential requirement is 332993. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS: This 120mm Tank Training Ammunition supports training soldiers in large combat systems and will fill FY22-FY26 Army requirements. The projected rate of production for the M1002 Training Cartridges is 35,000 per year. The projected rate of production for the M865A1 Training Cartridges is up to 60,000 per year. The projected refurbishment rate for the M1002 containers is 35,000 per year. The M1002 Target Practice Multipurpose Tracer (TPMP-T) training round replicates the tactical M830A1 High Explosive Anti-Tank Multipurpose Tracer (HEAT-MP-T). The M1002 features a dummy air/ground switch, and is matched ballistically to the time-of-flight parameters of the M830A1, thus creating realistic training. The tailcone stabilizer provides a safety feature, which limits the overall flight range to under 8km, reducing the requirement for extreme-range safety fans. The M865A1 Kinetic Energy (KE) training round, in service with the United States Army�s main battle tank fleet. Utilizes a unique cone stabilizer to limit the safety fan required for tank gunnery. With its matched exterior ballistics, the M865A1 provides a realistic training device displaying the accuracy and time-of-flight of the service round M829A3/A4. The cone stabilizer provides a safety feature limiting the overall flight range to under 8 km, reducing the requirement for extreme range safety fans.
