30mm x 173mm Air Burst Munition System Mk44 Bushmaster Cannon/Mk310 Mod 0 PABM-T Tomorrow’s lethality solutions delivered today www.atk.com The ATK 30mm Air Burst Munition System (ABM) pro- vides any platform an immediate lethality improvement. The system provides the new capability to burst a 30mm projectile at a precise point in space resulting in increased effectiveness against targets in defilade. The ATK ABM system is composed of the ATK 30mm Mk44 Bushmaster cannon employing an integrated fuze setter in the feed system; an ABM fuze setter module in the gun control unit (GCU); an ABM ballistic algorithm inte- grated into the platform fire control unit; and the Mk310 Programmable Air Burst Munition (PABM). The PABM can function in air burst, point detonating and point detonat- ing delay modes. The projectile has proven penetration capability and significant behind armor effects against lightly armored vehicles. The ATK ABM system is also capable of being retrofitted into existing Mk44 cannons. ABM System Integration Elements • Can be readily integrated into land and sea platforms using ATK’s Mk44 cannon • Easily integrates ATK’s Fuze Setter Module in the GCU and the Setter Coil in the Mk44 feeder
