CAM IPT ACTIVITIES PAGE 1 OF 2CAM IPT ACTIVITIES PAGE 1 OF 2

TNT Recycle Program – Reuse Success Story• Stockpile of TNT is Running Out• Downloading & Reprocessing 8 inch Projectiles (25M lbs)• 2.2 M Pounds Approved for Use in Air Force Bomb Production• Additional 1.3 M Pounds Tested and Awaiting Air Force Approval

Use of Copperhead for IBCT• Based on CAM IPT Recommendation and Updated Reliability Data• High Effectiveness with Trained Units

Extended Range Obturator Retrofit Program• 155 M549 Retrofit Program Highly Successful

* Amodel Material Much Superior to Previously Used Nylon• Currently Looking to Expand the Benefits to Additional Projectiles…

M864, M483, M795 and Other 155mm Rounds• Will Reduce Tube Wear and thus Prolong Tube Life

Insensitive Munitions Program for 155mm HE Projectiles• Develop a TNT replacement more insensitive than TNT
