- Description
- The U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC is contemplating award of a sole source contract to Indiana Ordnance Works, 11452 Highway 62, Charlestown, IN 47111, to update existing and procure additional full-scale and reduced-scale models that contain sectioned M231 and M232 charges. The 155mm M231/M232 propelling charges known and MACS (Modular Artillery Charge System) are two different propelling charges designed and developed at Picatinny Arsenal, that provide a complete zoning solution for 155MM Artillery applications by using multiples of a basic increment. During development and fielding of the MACS charge, the U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC has previously contracted for the creation of full-scale displays and reduced-scale models of the MACS to illustrate charge construction, packaging and field application. Improvement of the MACS charge over time has resulted invarious displays and models becoming outdated. Updating displays and models will regain their usefulness in exhibition and training applications. In addition to the displays and models requiring modification, certain new displays are needed for special applications. The M231 charges are used at lower zones (Zones 1 & 2), while the M232 Charges are used at higher zones (Zones 3 thru 6). The models include renovating or producing Zoning Solution displays, that contain 1/3 scale charge models displayed on a wooden platform that demonstrate the different zones of the M231 and M232 charge. Desktop training displays (Full scale cutaway) show the interior of each charge and labeling of respective components. The M231 and M232 Packaged Cutaways are displayed in their metal ammunition storage container. The lighted inert display cases contain the MACS full-scale cutaways and the 1/3 scale Presentation Sets that show each charge on a small wooden platform. The MACS and their components are on the Militarily Critical Technpologies List (MCTL), Aug 1996. Therefore, the MACS TDP is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C. Sec 2751) and is subject to DoD Directives 5230.24 and 5230.25. See numbered note 22.
