New Tactical Capability
The 120mm IM HE-T™ High Explosive Cartridge provides the
armor forces with an improved infantry support capability.
The IM HE-T™ will compliment the tank’s current main
gun ammunition with an Insensitive full bore HE warhead
capable of defeating a target set that includes bunkers,
fortifications, light armor and personnel.
The IM HE-T™ possesses a devastatingly powerful HE
warhead for the modern battlefield:
- Insensitive warhead and propellant
- Excellent accuracy and increased lethality out to extended line of sight
- Over twice the HE compared to current in-service HEAT

mander to select a point detonating (PD) function for
maximum fragmentation/blast, or a delay function for
detonation after target penetration.
