THE RESULTS OF MODERNIZATION OF 30-MM HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SPLINTER GRENADE FOR AUTOMATED GRENADE-CUP DISCHARGE COMPLEXES
The article deals with the research results of increasing destruction efficiency of high-explosive grenade for automatic grenade launchers. Introducing and applying some draft proposals allowed to increase the range of fire and fragmentation effect, to improve grouping of fire; to raise operational reliability and safety; to reduce manufacturing content of the grenade body and package. The research results and their serial manufacturing application enabled AGS-30 domestic system to catch up with the best foreign counterparts and allowed to create favourable conditions for GPD-30 round further upgrading.
