Extended Range Cannon Artillery system takes shape on multiple engineering fronts
The muzzle brake on the Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) emits a familiar plume as it redirects combustion gasses to reduce recoil and overblast pressure. As the Army seeks to extend the range of cannon artillery, muzzle brakes must be much stronger and less prone to manufacturing defects for a longer service life. Designing an improved muzzle brake is one of the many challenges facing engineers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center, which has the lead in designing the ERCA system.

By Improving Artillery Shells, Picatinny Engineers Seek to Greatly Extend Range of Cannon Artillery
U.S. Army Pvt. Darrell Futrell lifts a 155mm round weighing about 100 pounds at Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center in central Indiana. Engineers at Picatinny Arsenal are seeking to potentially extend the range of cannon artillery with new manufacturing methods that improve artillery shells, allowing them to withstand higher launch velocities and temperatures.
