The 155 mm M4A2 propellant charge is used in 155 mm artillery systems. The M4A2 is part of a modular system that provides the force needed to fire a 155 mm projectile to a range of up to 14.5 km.
The UB-40 is a propellant charge from the American manufacturer General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GDOTS, USA), part of the UBX-branded charge line introduced in 2025. The UB-40 is an analogue of the well-known and widespread M4A2 charge, but without the option of adjusting the number of increments.
The UB-60 is a propellant charge from the American manufacturer General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GDOTS, USA), part of the UBX-branded charge line introduced in 2025. The UB-60 is an analogue of the well-known and widespread M119 charge.
The M4A1 propellant charge is a 155 mm artillery charge designed for use with various artillery systems, providing the force required for different types of 155 mm projectiles.
The M119A2 is a propellant charge without the option of adjusting increments, used in 155 mm artillery systems. It is designed to provide stable and reliable firing of projectiles at ranges of up to 18 km.
The M119A1 propellant charge is used in 155 mm artillery systems and has characteristics similar to the M119A2, with some important differences.
The M203 and M203A1 propellant charges are used in 155 mm artillery systems and are designed for reliable firing of projectiles at various ranges. They are generally used for long-range fire.
The M11 Zone 10 propellant charges from the Serbian manufacturer Yugoimport are used in 155 mm artillery systems and are designed for long-range fire.
The L8A1 propellant charge is used in 155 mm artillery systems and is designed to provide stable firing of projectiles at long range. The L8A1 is not adjustable by increments.
The L10A1 is a high-tech monolithic propellant charge from the British manufacturer BAE Systems, close in characteristics to the M203A1, for 155 mm howitzers, providing high accuracy and range.
The 155 mm IPC35 propellant charge from the French manufacturer Nexter is designed specifically for 155 mm/39-caliber guns. It consists of a combustible case containing three propellant bags. The charge is a complete solution and an alternative to a set of American charges such as…
The KTA-series propellant charges from the Finnish manufacturer Nammo — KTA 5927, KTA 5928, KTA 5932 and KTA 5933 — were developed specifically for use with the KTA 5912, KTA 5934 and KTA 5938 projectiles, which in turn were intended for use with the Finnish towed field gun…
The M231, BC-E and DM82 propellant charges are representatives of the most modern modular (bagged) charge system MACS.
The M232, TC-F and TCME 100 propellant charges are representatives of the most modern modular (bagged) charge system, MACS.
The M91 propellant charges are representatives of the most modern modular (bagged) charge system, presented by Indian Ordnance Factories (India).
The M92 propellant charges are representatives of the most modern modular (bagged) charge system, presented by Indian Ordnance Factories (India).
