Description
Market Survey: 155mm M1128 HE Artillery, Base Bleed (Propellant Grain) Capacity:
Product Service Code: 1320 Ammunition, Over 125mm
NAICS Code: 332993- Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing
The U. S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, 07806-5000, on behalf of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS) is conducting market research to identify potential sources that are capable of manufacturing cast cure base bleed propellant grains to include, but not limited to, the M1128 projectile programs. The purpose of this market survey is to obtain current information on the capability of potential CONUS AND OCONUS sources to deliver base bleed propellant grain units. This information will be used to identify capacity gaps in order to plan future contract strategies. Potential future production rates are to produce 5, 000 Base Bleed grain assembly units per month, with an option/plan for 10, 000 Base Bleed grains assembly units per month.
Base bleed grain assemblies in 155mm projectiles extend ranges of conventional artillery and are compatible with the M777A2 Lightweight Towed 155mm Howitzer and the M109A7 Paladin Self-Propelled Howitzer platforms. For base bleed projectiles, on gun launch, propellant gases enter the base burner cavity and ignite the dual tracer cups in the igniter assembly. The tracer cups then light the composite propellant grain and sustain the burning at muzzle exit. The base burner gases fill the low-pressure region at the base of the projectile, reducing the base drag and resulting in extended ranges. The base bleed grains are cast cure energetics coated in an inhibitor. The energetics are primarily composed of Ammonium Perchlorate (Oxidizer) and Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (R-45M) (Binder).
To be considered as a capable source for this effort, all interested parties must submit the requested information, which will assist the United States Government...
