Description
Description — 60MM Mortar, All Types
(E89600) 60MM Mortar, All Types This line includes 60mm Mortar Ammunition, All Types. The 60mm Mortar cartridges are designed for use with the M224A1 Lightweight Company Mortar System (LWCMS) used by the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams as well as light infantry battalions including Airborne, Air Assault and Ranger. The short minimum range of the M224 makes the 60mm mortar ammunition well suited for close protective fires against an assaulting enemy, for block-to-block fighting in cities, and combat over close terrain with restricted visibility. (E70400) CTG, 60mm Mortar VL ILLUM, M721 w/MTSQ Fuze The 60mm Visible (VL) Illumination M721 Cartridge is a fin stabilized, mortar cartridge that consists of an M776 Mechanical Time Super Quick (MTSQ) Fuze, a thin wall steel body tube and aluminum tail cone that contains the payload (parachute and canister), and a fin assembly that contain the ignition cartridge and propelling charges. The payload is base ejected and upon ignition produces visible light illumination. This VL illumination allows for monitoring of enemy activities and adjustment of fire at greater observation distances during night operations. It also provides a means for day/night signaling. It is particularly useful in combined operations with allies who may not have night vision devices (NVDs). The M721 Illumination Cartridges (range 200 meters minimum to 3,200 meters maximum) is ballistically similar to the M720A1 HE Cartridge, allowing a gun to illuminate and fire on the same target without adjustments. These items are Code A, approved for service use. (E72199) CTG, 60mm Mortar HE ENFRAG, M1061 Series w/MOFM The M1061, 60mm High Explosive Enhanced Fragmentation (EF) cartridge with multi-option Fuze (Range 70 meter minimum to 3,400 meter maximum) is used against personnel and a higher category of materiel target sets providing both fragmentation and blast effect. This round uses the insensitive main charge explosive PBNX-110. Lethality is maintained by an enhanced fragmentation warhead. The M1061 EF uses the highly reliable and countermeasure resistant M734A1 multi-option Fuze. When the Fuze is set in the proximity mode, it functions at a height over the target that is optimized for lethality. The M1061 is Code A, approved for service use. (E92200) CTG, 60mm Mortar FRTR, M769 Series w/Practice Fuze The M769 is a low-cost, full range, training round (FRTR) that will replace a percentage of the standard HE rounds used in 60mm mortar training. The M769 FRTR (Range 70 meter minimum to 3,500 meter maximum) has been designed to provide the user with realistic training at a fraction of the cost. It is identical in shape, size and weight to the M720/M720A1 High Explosive cartridges. The flash, bang and smoke signature provided by the M775 Fuze is channeled to exhaust holes in the rear of the cartridge through the use of a center vent tube. This item is Code A, approved for service use. (E92900) CTG, 60mm Mortar HE, M768 Series w/PD Fuze The 60mm HE cartridges are Insensitive Munitions (IM) enhanced; HE rounds. The M768 HE cartridge (Range 70 meter minimum to 3,400 meter maximum) is used with the new M783 dual safety, point detonating/delay fuze, tail fin assembly, and high fragmentation steel (HF-1) shell body loaded with approximately 2 pounds. of an IM explosive. This cartridge is used primarily in training because it is significantly less expensive than the M720A1, the preferred war fighting cartridge. However, the M768 is lethal and can be used in combat. This item is Code A, approved for service use. (E93900) CTG, 60mm Mortar HE M720 Series w/MOFM The 60mm HE cartridges are IM enhanced; HE rounds. The M720 HE cartridge (range 70 meter minimum to 3,400 meter maximum) with Multi-Option Fuze is used against personnel and materiel providing both fragmentation and blast effects. Lethality is maintained by using a high fragmentation steel (HF-1) shell body loaded with approximately two pounds. of an IM explosive. The M720A1 incorporates the highly reliable and countermeasure resistant M734A1 multi-option Fuze. When the Fuze is set in the proximity mode, it functions at a height over the target that is optimized for lethality. This item is Code A, approved for service use. (E85700) CTG, 60mm Mortar IR ILLUM, M767 Series w/MTSQ Fuze The 60mm M767 Infrared (IR) Illumination cartridge is a fin stabilized, mortar cartridge that consists of an M776 Mechanical Time Super Quick (MTSQ) fuze, a thin wall steel body tube and aluminum tail cone that contains the payload (parachute and canister), and a fin assembly that contain the ignition cartridge and propelling charges. The payload is base ejected and upon ignition produces infrared (IR) illumination. The advantage of IR over conventional illumination is that there is minimal visible light produced, which reduces the possibility of exposing forward friendly troop positions while also allowing covert adjustment of fire at greater observation distances through use of passive Night Vision Devices (NVD). The M767 Illumination Cartridges (Range 300 meters minimum to 3,175 meters maximum) is ballistically similar to the M720A1 High Explosive (HE) Cartridge, allowing a gun to illuminate and fire on the same target without adjustments. This item is Code A, approved for service use.
