In the United States decided to change the main caliber of armored vehicles

ALAS-MC combat module

US Army Arsenal Picatinny engineers have advanced the development of the new ALAS-MC artillery system for combat vehicles. It includes a medium-caliber cannon, new ammunition, fire control systems and equipment necessary for faster and more accurate target destruction.

It is assumed that the new product will surpass all existing systems in the world, featuring high performance and the size of the victims that the enemy will suffer. Fire will be fired from a 50-mm XM913 cannon with HEAB-T high-explosive ordnance (based on the XM1204 shot) against personnel, including sheltered behind the walls, and APFSDS-T (based on the Xm1203) against the materiel. The operator will have at its disposal a graphical user interface and an advanced laser range finder.

The developed system clearly demonstrates the deadly blow that gunners can deliver due to the quick adoption of the right decision on firing, greater accuracy and firing range. We expect that overall gunner’s actions will be three times faster

- said the employees involved in the project, indicating that "the dead will have to be stored."

Picatinny engineers believe that in the future, the HEAB-T is likely to replace the standard high-explosive ordnance used with the 25mm Bushmaster M242 gun. New shots allow you to fine-tune the shell programmatically: the point of detonation, the moments of detonation and explosion in the air. To cope with the increased functional load should a more advanced fire control system.

Equipment that monitors the combat situation, automatically works out possible scenarios that are displayed on the interface. On it, the gunner indicates priority targets from a set of icons. Based on this choice, the OMS independently determines the optimal number of shots and the affected area.

The new liquidator will receive superiority and a clear advantage on the battlefield of the future

- consider the developers.

Not. They will simply begin to replace 25-30mm guns (to which they have more powerful projectiles than we have 30mm and have BOPS, which we don’t have 30mm) with such 50mm guns. I understand 50mm with a shortened sleeve. And what will we put super57mm on in Russia?

And what is the meaning of them with a low initial velocity of the projectile?

The same as for any other (speed): detonation of the projectile at the optimal point of the trajectory. Useful when working on sheltered manpower, for example. Then, does the same "Derivation" have a very low projectile velocity?

[Lopatov]

Quote: Kalmar

Same as with any other (speed)

Not like that. The low projectile speed can greatly reduce range dispersion. This means making the ammunition much more effective in terms of "horizontal" targets. Moreover, the power is higher than that of the 82-mm mine, making all these antics with air blasting unnecessary. Not justifying themselves in terms of "price-quality"

Quote: Kalmar

Then, unless the same "Derivation"

"Derivation" is an anti-aircraft gun.

[Kalmar]

Quote: Spade

The low projectile speed can greatly reduce range dispersion. So, to make the ammunition much more effective for "horizontal" targets

I think we need to argue here, having in our hands specific data on the speed characteristics of guns. And so, I only remember that the American XM-25 hand grenade launcher provided for an air blast of grenades, although it is difficult to reproach them with their high (grenades) speed.

Quote: Spade

The rich have their own quirks .... Some believe that the low power of action with a target should be compensated by an air gap. As is the case with this 25 mm grenade launcher. Or a 60 mm mortar

[Kalmar]

Quote: Spade

And what prevents the S-300 from working on ground targets?

Conceptually, any missile system with radio command guidance can be used against a ground target. Actually, the fleet has been using this for a long time: many shipborne air defense systems can take out surface targets. From the land one can remember "Pine", which can spoil armored vehicles.

"Derivation" is just a gun mount that fires completely ordinary projectiles. Nothing prevents her from working "on the ground" (I repeat, in all the videos she is doing this). By the way, the S-60 (on the basis of which the "Derivation" weapon was created) was quite routinely engaged in the destruction, in particular, of armored vehicles and manpower.

A very important point.

New shots allow you to fine-tune the shell programmatically: the point of detonation, the moments of detonation and explosion in the air.

It is a pity that the price tag was not hung - everything would have become clear at once. It is, of course, understandable that "in serial production" and so on, and so on, but nevertheless.

[anzar]

Low projectile speed can greatly reduce range dispersion

What nonsense? Ballistics says exactly the opposite, when shooting direct fire. This can be (somewhat) true only for a projectile shell. undermining.

And the power higher than 82 mm mines makes all these air-blasting gimmicks unnecessary ...

57mm shell ??? yeah

[Lopatov]

Quote: anzar

What nonsense? Ballistics says the exact opposite

D-30 shooting tables
Range 2000 meters
The charge is full, the initial 690 m / s, the median deviation in range Vd = 15 meters.
The fourth charge, the initial 276 m / s, the median deviation in range Vd = 9.8 meters.
Oops?
I don't know what kind of special "ballistics" is whispering to you, but sometimes you should think before yelling "What is this nonsense?"

Quote: anzar

57mm shell ??? yeah

And here you just need to know the materiel. Council such.
The 57-mm shell is 600 grams of hexal (metallized hexogen) in a shell with half-finished fragments
82 mm mine is 450 grams of TNT at best. And even schneider with a TNT stopper.

Such cases

[anzar]

I don't know what kind of special "ballistics" is whispering to you ...

Maybe they didn’t notice, but it's about shooting straight tips. Range Errors more impact on low-speed shells than on high-speed. To get (as you want) into the parapet of the trench first, you need to know accurate distance. What is moving in general ... With the proliferation of laser rangefinders and auto. MSA is no longer (so) significant, but still ... We will not talk about deflecting factors (wind, etc.), only pure ballistics))

D-30 shooting tables ... Range 2000 meters

The main thing is how do you know that there is exactly 2000m? If you make a mistake 50m, with what charge the deviation will be less? But your example is already from firing.

A 57 mm shell is 600 grams of hexal ... 82 mm mine is 450 grams of TNT at best. And then Schneider ...

And the question price? And why trifle, immediately compare with the black powder)) Or (like barmalei) we will put nitrogen in mines. fertilizers.))
Yes, and mines are different. In a regular HE 82 weighing 3,1 kg, yes. But in this 82mm product with a cast-iron body (HE 82LD) weighing 4,15 kg, there is already 750 g of TNT. And it flies away at 6,2 km!
In short, I do not understand the advantages of a 57mm gun low ballistics without prog undermining. Then to keep the 100mm smoothbore in the BMP-3 will be your way even better)))
All the same, the new Russian 57mm weapon is not low, but, so to speak, "medium" ballistics. Probably suitable for modernization. old cars. But the ammunition seems to be different, some kind of unification, only in production.

[Lopatov]

Quote: anzar

Maybe they didn’t notice, but it's about direct fire

Thrash ....
It looks like you don't know what "direct aim" is. Here, for sure, without materiel, no way ...

Quote: anzar

And how do you know that there is exactly 2000m?

How much do you need?
Here at that range that you need, the lower the initial speed, the less the dispersion in range. It’s not even ballistics, it’s geometry.

Quote: anzar

And the question price? And what are the little things, compare immediately with the black powder))

And again, materiel.
82-mm mines do not equip with smoke powder. A schneiderite-equipped, and more actively.

But in a fresh 82mm product with a cast-iron body (HE 82LD) weighing 4,15 kg, there is already 750 g of TNT

clarify please. in physics, exactly the opposite. low speed increases the spread. How do you explain this contradiction?

Yes, it depends on the same range. But the "short" range is shorter. And at its range, the accuracy is not much worse than that of a long 57mm projectile.

[Lopatov]

Quote: SanichSan

increases scatter

Which one?
In general, there are three of them
And if also a remote fuse, then one more is added, in time.
Which is introduced into deviations in range and height.

The lower the speed, the easier it is to shoot at "horizontal" targets such as a trench.
The higher the speed, the easier it is to shoot at "vertical targets" such as a wall.

Actually, detonation along the trajectory is a method of overcoming this problem for high-speed guns. Not an ideal method.

that is, you assume that they reduce the propellant charge so that the gun spits 1000 meters? what for? there are AGS grenade launchers for this.
as far as I remember the video with the advertisement of shells with remote detonation, the idea is precisely to maintain detonation, for example, over a trench. changing ballistics is somehow strange

Will not work.
It is too difficult to make gun automation that works confidently with both high-pulse and low-pulse shots.

Well, just our 57-mm gun is in the maiden name "AGS-57"

Quote: SanichSan

the idea is just to maintain the flatness, for example, over a trench

And here there are problems. The longer the range and the cheaper the fuse, the greater the dispersion of the air gap in range. So getting a gap directly above the trench is a very difficult task.

[Sanichsan]

read your post above and realized what you mean. thank you

Yes, and about tape power will have to forget. ballistics then the shells will be radically different.
but then what do they want to do? and the gun and the grenade launcher will not work ...

Quote: Spade

yes, but one is not the same. it’s like very different products in total, but here’s one thing.

Quote: Spade

So getting a break directly above the trench is a very difficult task.

not that it’s very difficult, but rather not very cheap. it’s quite possible to undermine several shells without covering a sufficiently large area. Yes, these are 5 shells in line to get into the trench, but they are stably falling. I'm talking about 30mm German.

[Lopatov]

Quote: SanichSan

not that hard

It is very difficult.
Therefore, at all show-offs, they shoot at short ranges so that the dispersion is not particularly noticeable

[Sanichsan]

Quote: Spade

Because at all the showings they shoot at short ranges

revised .. yes, really a short distance.
But is it necessary to achieve goals defeat in the trench? 57mm with remote detonation will be very effective against the infantry that lay on the ground. a 57mm detonation in the air will give a serious covering with fragments. in this perspective, it makes perfect sense, but trenches are all the same fortified positions and they should be pressed by artillery. why try to do something with a technique not designed for this?

[Lopatov]

Quote: SanichSan

But is it necessary to achieve goals defeat in the trench?

If you do not want RPGs or ATGMs on board, be sure. The infantry is now very toothy.

[Sanichsan]

Quote: Spade

The infantry is now very toothy.

Otozh! but to storm the fortified area without artillery preparation is adventurism!
and this option (the ability to cover a trench) will have little effect on the chances of getting an RPG on board. RPGs or ATGMs are usually used from an ambush, and an ambush is a position that has not been identified in a timely manner. what's the difference if there are shells with remote detonation or not, if you are the first to get an RPG before you even determine where the enemy is?

[Lopatov]

Quote: SanichSan

Otozh! bully but to storm a fortified area without artillery preparation is adventurism!

And nobody will allow to drive a bunch of artillery for the sake of a mobile fire zone. Therefore, for suddenly detected positions outside the GP, in which artillery works, you will have to work by direct fire.

[Sanichsan]

hmmm .. it was not with you that I discussed the usefulness of the "Coalition"? For such tasks, and need high-precision mobile artillery, IMHO.
trying to solve offensive tasks today with light armored vehicles is just as absurd as tanks in Grozny or attempts to drive Bedouins with mercenaries in 2007. modern warfare is the use of a complex of weapons.
in short, I doubt that the game is worth the candle. artillery should fall into the trench, not the BMP from the gun. and the AGS on the BMPT or on the Tiger will do better for this than the gun on the T-15.

Due to the multiple equipment and small geometric dimensions, there really was little space inside. But once to our schools, I don't know for what reason, experimental tanks were brought to one of the departments from the "Malyshev plant", where all the equipment for guided weapons was replaced from radio-controlled to laser ones, outwardly they were the same T-64B1, but inside ... there was SPACIOUS ... And all because a different technology was applied. And most importantly, the combat effectiveness of these modernized tanks was higher. For the same guided weapons, the firing range increased by a whole kilometer.

It's not about the gun It's about the new "wound" shells to it.
Universal armor-piercing-cumulative-HE shell was developed for MBT (caliber 120 mm) 10 years ago. It is programmed directly in the barrel, equipped with timers and sensors.
Now the same shell is designed for 50 mm.
For example: you need to break through the pillbox wall and kill the manpower inside. First, the cumulative jet is activated, which will make a small hole. The projectile itself is "screwed in" there, expanding it. Once inside the bunker, the shell will detonate its high-explosive fragmentation filling.

But how to pack it all into 50 mm and maintain acceptable parameters of penetration and subsequent explosion?

[voyaka uh]

Electronics and precision mechanics. Everything is smaller and smaller.
Already in calibers of 30 mm, wound telescopic shells of high armor-piercing are made.
And they manage to insert full-fledged seekers into tiny plastic rockets for drones.

I’m more about substances. What penetration will a cumulative charge pushed into 50 mm have? How much space will the charge remain?
Although the electronics, no matter how tiny they are, take their place - everything is 50 mm.

[voyaka uh]

Of course, such a shell will not take the special concrete of the bunker. But usually the infantry takes cover behind concrete blocks with the letter "P" and partitions that protect against bullets, including machine guns. A shell of 50 mm will penetrate such a wall.

So, according to today's layouts, free only in the eye can be obtained. And even that, you need to earn.

Funny.
But still between free and expensive - many categories are missing.

Sorry, I didn’t catch what the bargaining was about. Do you buy or sell?

Well, that’s another matter! Our respect to you with a brush!

Original. Then they will have to cut the charging "Black Joe". And who will pull the tracks for them? And it smells like racism

Startled ... saw our 57 graph paper, and ran after it ... As always, everything super-duper is complicated and expensive. Ammunition, SLA, the gun itself. How to fix it all, adjust in battle conditions? No, not for war all this equipment.

the good of our 57mm if there are no shells with remote detonation, even the most primitive? Well, yes, of course, you can simply bombard the enemy along a mounted howitzer trajectory with a landmine with an ancient contact fuse during WWII

We do not have 57 mm guns in service with the BMP except on the T 15 - and the fact that in the Epoch complex there is only a 57 mm grenade launcher - the anti-tank missile system transferred the function of fighting against armored vehicles.

Well, now the opponents of our 57 mm are a bit smaller ..

[5-9]

Something like our short 54mm at the Epoch complex ....

57 mm.
Based on the AGS-57 grenade launcher.

[5-9]

of course 57 ...

[garri-lin]

More like telescopes. And the ballistics are more cannon.

how is it and derivation is there! for air defense and against infantry it would be nice to have a shell with remote detonation, so that right above the tops of the trenches to slam, but the shell is more expensive but their consumption is less. By the way, this 50mm gun is kind of anti-personnel and is positioned, but it also has bops.
I don’t understand that our industry is not able to cut off programmable 57mm ammunition? The Germans over there in 30 and 35mm calibers rivet

[3danimal]

The Germans make tomographs and Peregrine Falcons. Why is our industry unable to cut them? ..

[Gloomy skeptic]

It is assumed that the new product will surpass all existing systems in the world.

To assume and create in reality is, as they say in Odessa - two big differences !!! They have already told a lot of "smart" missiles in the stands - now it is the turn for the guns.
