The U.S. Army ordered the development of a new active rocket shell XM1115

The American cannon artillery will soon receive a new active-rocket projectile. According to the press service of Raytheon Missiles & Defense, the company and the US Army have signed a contract for the development and production of the XM1155 projectile.

The development of the projectile will be carried out as part of the program for creating a promising artillery complex with increased firing range ERCA (Extended Range Cannon Artillery - "Barrel Artillery with Long Range"), launched in 2015. Previously, the XM1113 guided missile projectile was launched for testing as part of the program. This product is a 155 mm caliber ammunition with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and its own solid-fuel engine. Management and guidance is carried out through an inertial and satellite navigation system, as well as using aerodynamic rudders.



XM1155 will be a 155 mm caliber artillery shell with a ramjet engine. It is known that the Dutch company Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek (TNO) will design the engine for the shell, and Raytheon integrates the engine with the shell of the shell, creates a guidance system, warhead and other components.


It is planned that the new projectile XM1155 will be able to hit mobile and stationary targets on land and at sea. It will be intended for use by both promising guns and existing self-propelled guns. It is assumed that the use of a new projectile will allow the artillery to hit targets at ranges of over 100 km.

      The temptation is too great. Due to the rapid development of miniature GOS.
      Like: "You deliver us a shell for 100 km, and the hit will be ensured."
      It used to be exactly the opposite. Tried to create super-guns with incredible
      barrel length and large caliber, but on the same ballistics. It was not possible
      get "to the point".

      They have their own ARS with a normal price for marine 135 mm systems with a firing range of 115 km. Why not make an inexpensive shell with a range of 155 km for land 100 mm?

        Because such long shells for self-propelled guns will not work. Especially for self-loading self-propelled guns

    The flight of the projectile for more than 3 minutes ... during this time, even a weakly moving target can crawl far enough from the aiming point ... and the caliber is small for hitting stationary fortified targets. Let by GPS, the accuracy of the hit will be at least a meter - at the given coordinates. But is such a target worth ... eleven dollars?

      Unfortunately, I’m not an artilleryman, and I don’t know or understand a lot of things, so I divided the distance the projectile should fly (100 km) by the time you kindly indicated (3 minutes), and mathematics told me about that the projectile should have a speed of approximately 555 m / s; the usual flight speed of a howitzer shell is about 300 to 600 m / s, depending on the charge selected, so I don’t understand: the shell, it’s, is active-reactive, and its flight speed is about the same as that of a regular one? Somewhere I was mistaken in my conclusions, or is it really so: are the speeds roughly corresponding to each other?

        The initial velocity of shells from such howitzers is very high - more than 900 m / s. But he is not flying in a straight line. Therefore, the trajectory is much longer than the distance between the beginning and the end. It is launched at about 50 degrees to the horizon (45, this is good in an airless space). Because the time is about this.

        Winnings are only in size. But this gain leads to a decrease in power. You’ll shove any more explosives into 300 mm. But the complexity of the ammunition surpasses, can you imagine a direct-current tank in such a size .... The price of 10 shells is just at the cost of one launcher laughing

          It's right. The power of one rocket is great. But is it always needed? More recently, there was an example of how Turkish artillery very accurately fired at the leading edge of the Syrian army and police in Idlib on a tip to drones. 155 mm of shells was enough. 3-5 pieces for sure and the Syrians / Shiites / Iranians retreated. And imagine that such shelling comes from a safe distance of 100 km?

            Not always. When not needed, apply warheads with a cassette warhead.

            For example, the 9H235 fragmentation submunition weighs only 1,75 kg. It’s hard to come up with something less powerful.

              A cluster warhead is a very specific munition.
              If you manage to blow it over the enemy’s military base or
              battalion before deployment, it can cause great damage
              to the enemy. But if you need to knock down the leading edge, where on the strength
              20 people lie scattered in shelters among houses and ruins,
              then 99% of the submunitions will explode in vain.
              In this case, the accurate hits of several howitzer shells are more effective.

Well, it is — trouble with the F-35, with the fleet — for example, the LCS is being reduced, the marines have been driven under the heels for money with a slipper ... Reiteon is working diligently and sweatily to develop systems, not to say that of primary importance.
    Guys, if the Pentagon wouldn’t saw loot. and the forest - the whole planet without trees would remain!

          Well, don’t have to write so frankly! You can go to the Defense Blog resource and find out from the source why US Navy is going to increase the number of LCS, how it will use and equip them ... As for the Marines, their role is only increasing. They return to their main task, for the sake of which they were created - work on the coast, on the islands of the Pacific Ocean, in particular, where there was a confrontation with China. Therefore, they change weapons. For example, heavy tanks are not needed there - the Marines will not have them. And the barmaley in the desert will be driven by cavalry, not marines. Do not wishful thinking.

As support for these bases, LCS ships are attached, which receive PKR and specialized weapons modules. The fleet wants to additionally purchase 1 such ships in order to eventually have 2 of them. At the same time, it is planned to surrender 3-35 new ships annually to the fleet. And the wall ... Like that.

                      Well, firstly, a specialized tool is the most expensive. Specialized and cheap are mutually exclusive concepts. Secondly, the confrontation with China is now the basis of US military construction. China is the No. 1 potential adversary for them. We can have our own opinion, but the Americans think so. Given this, they set, in the changed conditions, new tasks for their military elite, the ILC. Since the new tasks and the conditions for their solution require different methods and means, the Americans are now investing a lot of money in the corresponding re-equipment of the ILC. I emphasize once again that deterring China is now the most important task for the United States, in their opinion. And the solution to the most important task, anyone will not be trusted. And who is better than the ILC in the USA is ready for operations on landing on the skeletons in the ocean, their retention, etc.? Well, neither infantry nor tank brigades! And for a quick transfer to another mainland and solving land problems, there is the 82nd US Parachute Division and similar units. By the way, these parts do not have heavy equipment either. Well, the ILC should not, as it was in previous years, act as a military police in the deserts of the Middle East!

                        I remind you: you need to prove that "it is impossible to use the ILC abroad without the consent of the Congress"

                        However, the "notification" is not "obtaining consent". And the use of troops for less than three months is still the use of troops

                        Therefore, it doesn’t. look further laughing laughing laughing

                        The President is required to obtain Congressional approval for the participation of the US Armed Forces in these hostilities at the latest ninety days after the commencement of these operations. Congress has the right at any time to demand the withdrawal of troops.

                        The money for the fence will be taken from the budget provided for the construction and repair of other 127 military facilities, both in the US and abroad - the construction of all these facilities will be frozen. Once again, he could not get the wall to be built from Congress, he just took available money (which Congress gave him) and transferred from other projects
                        > You don't seem to know the meaning of the word "notify"
                        you probably don’t know, but if you’re so stupid (if only because in the text in which I gave it, the Marines are no different from other branches, which means that, by your logic, nobody submits to Congress? wassat but since you have not read, and accuse me of this, however, I am not surprised, then I will say that "notify" in this case means that if the congressmen do not like it, they can cancel it, which means the marines cannot follow the presidential decrees, so you are lying

                        The President makes a decision on the use of the ILC, notifies Congress of this decision and, in three months, if necessary, receives permission for further application
                        haha, I can repeat it again, it’s not difficult for me
                        in the text in which I gave it is written that the Marines are no different from other branches, which means, according to your logic, no one obeys the Congress? and that means your lies "controlled only by the President"? Yes or no?

                        Just took the available money
                        maybe an alien talks to me who doesn’t understand what I’m talking about, let's have a budget on our fingers, let's say 100 rubles, in which 30 rubles for building buildings for the army, the rest for something else, you need more money to build a fence, but money the congress does not give what he did, he took out of the money (100) that Congress had already given him, and of 30 rubles he spent 25 on buildings for the army, and 5 rubles on the fence, as a result, they simply redistributed this budget without increasing
                        and in order to start a war, you need to ask Congress to raise the budget since war is expensive
                        > if necessary, obtains permission for further use
                        Bingo, and if you do not get permission, then "turn it back" (which you need to get, this is not the USSR where everyone votes at once like in 9 minutes (and they say the USSR was a bureaucratic country, how quickly laws are passed, not a single one against)
                        however, so everyone, I hope now you will answer me how the Marines differ from the other branches, otherwise it turns out

                        how do you manage to repeat this again, I gave you a link, where it is written that there are no differences between the marines and other branches, but you already do not "notice" it a hundred times, just read the text completely and you will no longer want to argue with me

                        Another version comes across - they say the ILC is not included in the ground forces, and therefore a loophole appears on their use bypassing the "Resolution on Military Powers". But we turn to the same US Code, specifically - 10 US Code § 101. And we see there: (4) The term “armed forces” means the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. So yes, the USMC is part of the US Armed Forces

      Valery. You think this is not a simple rocket engine, it is a direct-flow pump: turbines, pipelines, compressors, a generator and also steering wheels, GOS. And is that all to throw 40 kg warhead?
      And I’m still wondering how they will refuel him, in the position of a Negro with a canister?
      Or are they going to do solid fuel direct exhaust?

    This is the third player to enter direct-flow technologies for artillery shells [Boeing + Nammo; RDM (Germany + South Africa)].
    Until 2010, TNO (Netherlands) developed a direct-flow engine for a 35mm projectile and was looking for partners for further work. here from their press release:
    TNO successfully developed a prototype 35 mm solid propellant direct-flow anti-aircraft missile, which demonstrated a steady flight speed of 1400 m / s. Solid propellant direct-flow jet technology provides simplicity and reliability, compatible with the harsh conditions of the gun firing. Meanwhile, its high fuel efficiency allows to increase flight range, reduce time to the target and increase kinetic energy, which leads to a higher probability of damage. What's next? Currently, TNO is in contact with the industry for the introduction of solid-fuel direct-flow jet technology of various calibers and applications, which can help increase the combat power of both naval and land artillery forces.
    And here is the ramjet work schedule (GMS conference report, March 27-30, 2006 - Ramjet Projectile Performance Demonstration).
