Technologies for Future Tank Gun Systems
Joint Venture RGR
The companies
- Royal Ordnance (UK)
- GIAT Industries (F)
- Rheinmetall W&M GmbH (D)
all capable of providing a 140mm tank gun, have joined
together in a european JVC, named RGR, to most effectively
meet the FTMA challenge.

Technologies for Future Tank Gun Systems
Options for a FTMA
Three future tank weapon and ammunition systems are
currently the subject of technology investigations within
Europe and the USA:
- conventional 140 mm tank gun systems
- Electro-Thermal Chemical (ETC) gun systems
- Electro-Magnetic Gun systems

Technologies for Future Tank Gun Systems
Conclusions (1)
Developments in tank protection levels require a new tank
main armament weapon and ammunition system.
Options are:
- Conventional 140 mm
- ETC as an optional upgrade

Technologies for Future Tank Gun Systems
Conclusions (2)
Conventional 140 mm
- offers a low-risk option dependent only on technologies
that will mature with certainty by the Millennium.
- is retrofittable to existing tank platforms with acceptable
integration and usage risks and with operating
characteristics familiar to users of current tank gun
systems.

Technologies for Future Tank Gun Systems
Conclusions (3)
ETC:
- offers a medium-risk option dependent on technologies
that will mature within the next ten years.
- is an optional enhancement of a conventional weapon
independent of the caliber.
- fittable to tank platforms with considerable implication on
integration and system layout.
