Oerlikon-Contraves 35mm x 228 Ammunition for the 35mm KD Series Automatic Cannon ‘The ammunition is optimized for belt fed applications as required for the Gepard and Marksman selfpropelled anti-aircraft systems, as well as for all Oerikon's twin GDF anti-aircraft systems and turrets, where the ammunition is clip loaded. Cerlikon-Contraves develops and produces: 1 Air Defence Ammunition: HEI, HEI-T, SAPHEI-T, FAPDS to. combat soft skinned to medium armoured surfarce and air targets Di Anti Armour Ammunition: FAPDS, APDS-T, APFSDS-T to ‘combat armoured targets D0 Training Ammunition TP, TP-T, SRTP- Main Features 1 Comprehensive fragmentation, explosive and incendiary effects inside the target 1 Optimized fuze function in terms of detonation point, improved impact angle sensitivity and self- destruct functions Gi Short times of fight ensure flat trajectories with resultant high hit probability on sub-calibre ‘Ammunition 1 Maximum armour-piercing capability by use of sub-calibre kinetic energy projectiles 1 Storage, transportation, handling and firing criteria according to MIL-STD.Full Calibre Ammuni Air Defence High Explosive Incendiary The very latest shell, designed to defeat both soft skinned and hard targets, is therefore equally effective ‘against fast attack aircraft as well as combat helicopters. Devastating effects deep inside the target are achieved by: 1 Optimized ignition delay of the base fuze after impact 1 Excellent armour piercing performance CO Powerful blast effects combined with optimized fragmentation ion 1 Additional incendiary composition to overcome installations for fire prevention High Explosive Incendiary with Tracer The shell is designed to combat soft skinned surface and airborne targets. Used in conjunction with HEI it also, provides a useful tracer signature. Devastating effects inside the target are achieved by: 1 Response delay of the nose fuze 1 Powerful blast effects resulting from the large uantitiy of high explosive contained in the shell 11 Long endurance flame giving excellent incendiary effects CO Effective fragmentation due to the sophisticated design of the shell body Armoured Targets Semi-Armour Piercing High Explosive Incendiary with Tracer The shell is specifically designed to effectively engage hard targets, such as light armoured vehicles, but is also highly effective against armoured helicopters and airratt When used in conjunction with HE! it provides a deadly combination of penetration / blast / incendiary effects in the target are achieved by: 1 Response delay of the base fuze 1 Excellent armour peircing performance due to hardend massive steel shell body 1 Effective fragmentation realized by a large number of high-energy fragments in combination with blast and incendiary effect.Sub Calibre Ammunition Air Defence Frangible Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot Representing a totally new concept for air defence, this kinetic energy ammunition consists essentially of a frangible heavy metal penetrator which is highly effective against soft skinned as well as hard targets. Hit probability against fast attack aircraft is significantly enhanced due to the very short time of fight realized with the sub-calibre technique. Higher muzzle velocity reduces the flight time to max. tactical range by more ‘1 The powerful biast effects based on directed eneray than 40%, compared with full calibre types. delivery within the target caused by the directed core Devastating effects are achieved by: bursting into a cloud of high eneray fragments 1 Delayed action of the penetrator to “burst® after initial [1] The interaction of the core fragments with the impact with the target aluminium structure causes excellent incendiary effects by metal ignition 1 Exceptional armour piercing qualities against both single and spaced-plate armour Armoured Targets Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot with Tracer This modem kinetic energy projectile fulfils the demands for long range penetration against armoured vehicles where flat trajectories and high first round hit probabilities are essential It is particulary effective against multiple plate targets at low angle of impact. Its penetrator is made out of very tough heavy metal Devastating effects behind armour are achieved by: 1 Excellent perforation of the target by the high integrity heavy metal penetrator causing massive fragmentation, consisting of both penetrator and target material 1 High kinetic energy on impact due to very high muzzle velocity/high weight of core/discarding sabot, design/low drag 1 Outstanding penetration capability at low angles of impact Armour Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Tracer ‘The very latest design of round tailored specifically to maximize armour pene- tration, using a high integrity heavy metal "Long Rod" penetrator. It oan also be used in conjunction with the FAPDS for vehicle armament to produce a lethal combination of penetration and destructive effects against a wide variety of targets. Devastating effects behind armour are achieved by: 1 High target impact velocity, due to the very high muzzle velocity and very low drag projectile design I Unparalleled penetration performance, due to the high specific energy of the "High Rod’ penetratorTechnical Data 35mm x 228 Ammunition for the Round Designation MuzzleVelocity v, Mass NATO —Oerlikon Round Projectile TPT PMD 034 1175 m/s 15729 580g Target Practice with Tracer (also available as TP) HEI PMD 048 1175 m/s 18729 580g High Explosive Inucendiary HET — PMD.O40 1175 m/s 15509 | 535g High Explosive Inucendiary with Tracer also available as HEI with Tracer SAPHEI-T PMD 044 1175 mis 15659 550g Semi-Armour-Piercing HEI with Tracer FAPDS — PMD 055 1440 m/s 14409 3759 Frangible Armour-Piercing Discarding Sabot (also available as FAPDS-1) APDS-T PMD 049, 4440 mis 1445g 3809 ‘Armour-Piercing Discarding Sabot with Tracer ‘APFSDS-T_PMD 060 1400 m/s 14459 3809 ‘Armour Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with TracerDisposal of Surplus Ammunition and Explosives Production procedures Preliminary studies 1 The abilty to develop suitable disposal procedures emanates from spedialist knowledge of the nature, composition, condition and likaly reactions of the products in question. Ol We have that know-how and the infrastructure to perform such studies. Legal aspects: Logistics Safety Treatment = dismantiing - receyeling - disposal Oooo Concepts i We develop the production procedures for disposal of the products. 1 We develop dismanting and further ‘exploitation techniques, in Conjunction with expert third parties as appropriate, in the context of: Production with Oerlikon-Contraves Machines (PYROTEC AG) Oerlikon-Contraves develops and manufactures machines for the production of ammunition. These machines are used by Oerlikon- Contraves as well as other manufacturers ~ further sound reasons for the high quality and reliability of Oerlikon-Contraves ammunition.
