  1. 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range and Long Range Ammunition Presented to the National Defense Industrial Association 12 MAY 2004 Frank Dindl U.S. Army ARDEC AMSRD-AAR-AEW-M(D); Bldg 7 Picatinny, NJ 07806-5000 (973) 724-6761 <fdindl@pica.army.mil> Anthony Cautero U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC AMSRD-AAR-AEW-M(D); Bldg 7 Picatinny, NJ 07806-5000 (973) 724-6085 <acautero@pica.army.mil>

  2. 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Short RangeCARTRIDGE, 40MM, NON-LETHAL: multiple ball, XM1057

  3. 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range The MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range cartridge uses a telescoping cartridge case to provide weapon powering while launching non-lethal payloads. A variety of candidate payloads have been demonstrated, with multiple rubber balls being the leading candidate for initial fielding.

  5. User perspective: “In my own experiences, a MK-19 with NL Capabilities would provide tremendous overwatch and capability to push back a violent crowd as opposed to just engage a single agitator. .... If the MK-19 in the foreground had NL Munitions, they would have been able to clear the crowd and re-open the bridge behind them. ….In cities and villages, a MK-19 could be extremely helpful in the event that you have a massive crowd of non-combatants who are being exploited by agitators and violent handlers to neutralize your position or deny necessary access.” --LTC Jim Brown

  6. 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range • Preliminary performance requirements: • Minimum engagement range of 10 meters • Maximum effective range of 50 meters • Weapon cyclic rate 275 shots per minute • Other considerations: • No weapon modifications required • Trajectory compatible with weapon sights

  7. 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range Concept of Employment Firing Demonstration: Conducted at Fort Leonard Wood on 25 SEP 2002 Representatives from the various services witnessed the demonstration, including BG Curry, Commandant, US Army Military Police School; COL Lamb, Assistant Commandant; COL Karcher, Director of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate; and senior NCOs from the various services.

  8. Ten round burst at Picatinny, August 2002

  9. Five round burst of multiple rubber balls: Fort Leonard Wood, MO September 2002

  10. MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range FY04 Progress (continued) • Focused primarily on maturing the cartridge design to make it ready for production • Design improvements address reliability, producibility, corrosion resistance, waterproofness, etc. • Volumetric propellant loaders fabricated to eliminate weighing propellant charges • Crimping tooling being instrumented to monitor crimp process during cartridge assembly • Modeling and simulation effort underway to support future production and to identify potential problems

  11. MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range Summary: • The 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range cartridge concept has been successfully demonstrated • Cartridge configuration adaptable to a wide variety of payloads • Cartridge configuration is rapidly maturing into the production configuration • Type Classification Standard scheduled for FY06. • Fourth patent pending

  12. 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Long Range Description: Provides MK19 non-lethal capability with 50 to 1500 meter effective range. Uses “Davis Projectile” concept with airburst or proximity fuze to decelerate projectile at target location. Dispenses non-lethal payloads such as rubber balls. Uses conventional cartridge case and ammunition impulse to power the weapon mechanism for rapid-fire.

  14. 40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Long Range • Leverages projectile deceleration mechanism developed for the 20 and 25mm Airbursting Non-Lethal Munition • 20mm and 25mm experiments have verified projectile deceleration mechanism works for the projectile velocities of interest

  15. Theoretical Residual Projectile Velocity Down Range For 20mm Application Range Projectile Velocity Residual Projectile Velocity (meters) (m/s) (m/s) 0 243 28 (forward residual velocity) 100 230 15 200 217 2 300 206 -9 (rearward residual velocity) 400 195 -20 500 185 -30 600 175 -40 700 166 -49 800 157 -58 900 149 -66 1000 141 -74 Note: Residual velocity may be adjusted by altering the burst charge or payload mass. 40mm MK19 application is very similar.

  22. MK19 Non-Lethal Long Range Status: • Approved for FY04 new start by the Joint Non-lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD). • Projectile deceleration mechanism successfully demonstrated in 20mm and 25mm using crude laboratory airburst mechanisms. • US Patent 6,7,22,283 issued April 20, 2004 • First adjustable burst distance non-lethal projectile using an electronic fuze to be demonstrated in 25mm in September 2004 as part of the Airbursting Non-Lethal Munition program. • Development of an appropriate airbursting fuze or proximity fuze mechanism is the key to success.
