Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) Ground Weapons Directorate, PM Tanks, is developing a Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) program to support the future APERS-T program for the M1A1 Tank to determine if there are any existing APERS-T rounds that may potentially fulfill the Marine Corps requirements for lethality, reliability, safety and cost.

Round must be effective out to 4000 meters. 6. Must provide good effects against dismounted infantry. Interested firms should include literature, brochures, price lists, test data, and capabilities summaries directly addressing their ability to meet the aforementioned needs.
