On display at AUSA last week was our prototype Infantry Squad Vehicle outfitted with Active Protection System radar, an emerging technology that can detect, track and classify unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. Survivability and Protection efforts, both those developed in government research centers and those such as the APS radar made in collaboration with one of our industry partners, are key to transitioning mature technology from S&T to the acquisition community and on to our warfighters more quickly and cost effectively.

Colin Stephenson, a lead engineer who has been working on the CT40 project for 25 years, explains the unique ammunition used by the cannon.

Mr Stephenson, a veteran of Royal Ordnance Nottingham, said users that have seen the CT40 fire from a Warrior "really cannot believe the firepower that you can get from such a small volume".

The CT40 employs telescoped ammunition, where the projectile is encased within the propellant powder, significantly reducing its size.

This compact ammunition is easier for the crew to handle and allows for a larger payload, while being four times more powerful than the 30mm rounds used on the Warrior vehicle.

The cannon's unique 40mm telescoped ammunition is unlike traditional rounds, where the projectile sits on top of the cartridge case.

The projectile in the CT40 sits inside it, encased in the propellant powder.

It means the ammunition is dramatically reduced, or telescoped down, in size to something that looks like a relatively small tube.
