Abstract: A medium caliber high kinetic energy round with tracer and self-destruct mechanism having an optimized kinetic energy projectile incorporating a fully hardened projectile body and an explosive self-destruct mechanism for a medium caliber high rate of fire round. The medium caliber high kinetic energy ammunition round incorporates a multiple piece sub-projectile that integrates a tracer and high explosive self-destruct mechanism to neutralize the penetrator during self-destruct and minimize collateral damage during firing.
