Description

The M830 HEAT-MP-T is a 120mm, multipurpose round that employs a shaped charge warhead to defeat targets. The M830 round is compatible with all standard NATO smoothbore 120mm tank cannons. The M831A1 TP-T is a training round used to simulate the M830 tactical round. The M1002 Target Practice Multi-Purpose Tracer (TPMP-T) is the US Army training cartridge for the M830A1 round. A team composed of General Dynamics and ATK was awarded a $39 million contract on December 9, 2004, by Australia to produce 120mm tank ammunition in support of the M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks on order from the United States. The contract included procurement of both tactical and training ammunition. Through this contract Australia will receive the latest 120 mm KEW-A2 tungsten APFSDS-T cartridge as well as the M830A1 ammunition.
