Summary of "Munitions
List" Category 2-12:
2-12. High velocity kinetic energy
weapon systems and related equipment, as follows, and specially designed
components therefor:
a. Kinetic energy weapon systems specially designed for destruction or effecting mission-abort of a target;
b. Specially designed test and evaluation facilities and test models, including diagnostic instrumentation and targets, for dynamic testing of kinetic energy projectiles and systems.
N.B.:
For weapon systems using sub-calibre ammunition or employing solely chemical propulsion, and ammunition therefor, see Items 2-1. to 2-4.
Note 1:
2-12. includes the following when specially designed for kinetic energy weapon systems:
a. Launch propulsion systems capable of accelerating masses larger than 0.1 g to velocities in excess of 1.6 km/s, in single or rapid fire modes;
b. Prime power generation, electric armour, energy storage, thermal management, conditioning, switching or fuel-handling equipment; and electrical interfaces between power supply, gun and other turret electric drive functions;
c. Target acquisition, tracking, fire control or damage assessment systems;
d. Homing seeker, guidance or divert propulsion (lateral acceleration) systems for projectiles.
Note 2:
2-12. controls weapon systems using any of the following methods of propulsion:
a. Electromagnetic;
b. Electrothermal;
c. Plasma;
d. Light gas; or
e. Chemical (when used in combination with any of the above).
