Our 155mm Artillery Shell
L15 High Explosive (HE)
Designed for use with a range of 155mm guns, this shell combines advanced technology with logistic simplicity, giving the user higher performance, in a cost effective manner. It comprises of a high tensile, steel body and is fitted with a user-selected fuze, for greater operational flexibility. The shell body features a thin wall, which is optimised for high fragmentation and blast effect.
XL12E1 High Explosive (HE) Extended Range (ER)
Based on a mature design, with a shell body adapted from the L15 High Explosive (HE) shell. A screw-on base bleed unit can be used to optimise range extension whilst maximising lethality.
L21 High Explosive (HE)
This shell is ballistically matched to the M107, as used by the US military. It is fitted with a removable nose plug, providing the user with greater operational flexibility, through choice of fuze.
L17 Inert
For use in gun proving, gun warming and handling practice, this shell is ballistically matched to the L15 High Explosive (HE) shell. It is fitted with a Plug Representing Fuze (PRF) and the steel body contains inert filling.
Our 155mm Propelling Charges
Our 155mm ammunition is supported by a range of propelling charges, which are designed for use in a wide range of 155mm ammunition systems.
L8 Propelling Charge
This consists of a cloth bag containing charge increments three to seven, with increments four to seven being removable. Ignition is by base igniter pad, contained in charge increment three and a breech-loaded percussion primer. A flash reduction agent is included in increment five and a de-coppering agent is included in increments five, six and seven.
L10 Propelling Charge
This consists of a combustible case, containing a single bundle of propellant and an igniter and disc assembly. A de-coppering agent is included in the charge.
L18 Propelling Charge
Used for training, this charge system consists of five increment charges of unequal size, to provide coverage for all zone firings. A flash reduction agent is included in the propellant composition and a de-coppering agent is included in increment four. The propellant is contained in cloth bags and the complete charge is secured together by cloth tying straps, attached to the base charge.
Malloy Aeronautics designs and supplies all-electric uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) to both civil and military customers. Their range of uncrewed, heavy lift quadcopters are capable of lifting payloads from 68kg to 300kg over short to medium range missions. Malloy Aeronautics are a BAE Systems owned entity that form part of our FalconWorks research and development division within the Air sector.
With class-leading payloads, from 68kg to 300kg, The T-Series creates an opportunity for new and disruptive mission types. Runway independent, paired with a compact footprint ensure the T-Series range can fulfil a variety of use cases such as logistics, weapons release and casualty evacuation in all circumstances no matter the conditions.
With zero carbon emissions at the point of use, Malloy Aeronautics has designed the T-Series to revolutionise military operations especially where there is a requirement to carry heavy loads. This helps to keep military personnel out of harm’s way in dangerous situations or disaster zones, whilst providing a low environmental footprint.
With a strong pedigree in complex systems integration and delivery, BAE Systems and Malloy Aeronautics are developing enhanced, assured military capabilities for the T-Series. This includes the introduction of advanced mission planning and management systems, autonomous system capabilities, and sophisticated weapon and payload development and integration. This forms part of the research and development being undertaken through FalconWorks.
