We develop and manufacture high-performance propellants and propelling charges
All of these propellants are produced in compliance with EU REACH regulations and offer:
MSM GROUP has extensive experience and a proven track record in the manufacture of propellants, among others:
The M3 series propelling charges are green bag type designed for use in 155 mm howitzers for firing in Zones 1 through 5. The full charge consists of approximately 5.50 pounds (2.5 kg) of propellant including a base charge and four unequal increments loaded in cloth bags.
M4A2 (white bag) Propelling Charge is a separate loading charge used in 155mm howitzers for firing in Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The full M4A2 Propelling Charge consists of 13.4 lbs (6 kg), of M1 propellant and is divided between a base charge and four unequal increments loaded in white cloth bags.
This propelling charge is a Zone 7 (red bag) charge for firing in 155mm howitzers containing M185 and M199 cannon. The M119A2 Propelling Charge is a single increment red bag charge which contains a base igniter pad with 113.4 grams of CBI powder and a center spot of 14.1 grams of black powder.
BMCS is a further developmental stage of the design of charge systems for separated ammunition. These are the 2nd generation modular charges. The complete Bi-Modular Charge System (BMCS) represents in its design substance the solution of charge systems by two types of modules: a bottom charge module and a top charge module. The bottom charge module serves for covering small ranges of fire (it consists of one Zone-1 module and two Zone-2 modules). The top charge module serves for covering of long and maximum ranges of fire (it comprises of three to six modules – Zone – 3, 4, 5, and 6).
