What does HE stand for?
High Explosive
What does FAE stand for?
Fuel Air Explosive
What does HEAT stand for?
High Explosive Anti-Tank
What does HESH stand for?
High Explosive Smash Head
What does HEDP stand for?
High Explosive Dual Purpose
What are key characteristics of HE rounds?
Mainly anti-personnel or for engaging soft skinned vehicles.
Lack capability to penetrate modern armor.
What are the main characteristics of FAE rounds?
Designed to destroy light vehicles and combat field fortifications.
The explosive warhead is composed of a highly volatile fuel that will bond with oxygen particles in the air, saturating a small space.
Requires atmospheric Oxygen.
VERY LITTLE FRAGMENTATION.
What are the main characteristics of HEAT rounds?
True anti armor threat.
Designed under MONROE Effect of directional charges.
Highly lethal JET torch that penetrates steel (temp well over 2750 F, 1500 C).
What are the main characteristics of HESH rounds?
Functions under sledge hammer principle.
Steel nose impact debilitates and crushes armor, causing chipping from inside.
NOT Anti-armor.
What are the main characteristics of Tandem rounds?
Counter ERA protection.
The precursor charge penetrates or detonates the ERA block, then the primary shaped charge will follow through and penetrate the base armor.
What does ERA stand for?
Explosion Reactive Armor
What are the main characteristics of Thermobaric rounds.
Updated form of FAE round.
Differs from the FAE in that it consists of a fuel rich in mono propellant and energetic particles (ie, powdered fluorinated aluminum).
Explosion results in intense fireball with high blast over pressure.
