The 120mm M830A1 cartridge is effective against light armor, air defense and materiel. This round is fired from the M256 120mm cannon mounted on the Abrams tank. Appropriate targets include lightly armored vehicles with reactive armor, helicopters, buildings, and bunkers, the side and rear aspects of tanks, and dismounted anti-tank and automatic weapons teams. The fixed round utilizes a combustible cartridge case affixed to a steel stub and loaded with granular propellant. The fin-stabilized, high chrome alloy steel projectile body is press-loaded with explosive, a precision copper liner and booster. The base element is armed during launch and initiated by an impact switch, or proximity sensor, depending upon the operational mode selected by the tank crew. Arming is accomplished through the ballistic environment of firing, set back, and deceleration. When fired in the air mode, a black puff of smoke is produced when the proximity sensor and fuze function. This permits the crew to observe when and where the round functions in relation to the target. The production and fielding of the M830A1 provides increased accuracy when compared to the currently fielded M830 HEAT-MP-T cartridge, due to reduced time of flight. The M830A1 provides the individual tank crew with the self-defense capability to engage and defeat attacking helicopter platforms. The M830A1 replaces the currently fielded M830 round to provide significantly enhanced capability to the 120mm gun tank fleet. Type Classification Date: September 1992. Unit cost: $4,659 (Fiscal Year 2000).
