The 20 mm x 102 Multipurpose Low-Drag (MP LD) round is the superior aircraft ammunition, designed to defeat multi-spectrum target types up to light armored vehicles. The projectile’s low-drag design maintains higher velocity and reduces the time of flight, compared to the M50 series. Lower flight time increases hit probability, and higher impact velocity improves lethality. The round is initiated by pyrotechnics and has a natural delay, ensuring delivery of the incendiary, blast and fragmentation effects inside the target. The Multipurpose technology is the same as used in the PGU-28 A/B round, and the round has similar design and performance characteristics. They are available with both copper (MP LD M70) and sintered iron (MP LD M70 A1) rotating bands, and comply with STANAG 3585 requirements.
