C002. STATEMENT OF WORK: PGU-43/B TRAINING, PGU-44/B HIGH EXPLOSIVE, PGU-45/B HIGH FRAMENTATION, and M1 HIGH EXPLOSIVE CARTRIDGES ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(a) PGU-43/B Training Cartridges Refurbished: Vietnam-era M1 HE cartridges are supplied as Government-Furnished Material (GFM) to the ________________________________________ contractor and are required to be broken down. The M1 projectile body is removed from the packaging and set aside for reuse. The original wooden box, PA-55 fiber tube containers, old cartridge cases, primer, and propelling charge are to be properly disposed of.

The M1 projectile body is prepared as follows: The metal nose plug is removed and saved for production of future PGU-45/B HF cartridges, if ordered. The trinitrotoluene (TNT) supplementary charge is removed and set aside for replacement back into the round later during the production process. The Composition B (Comp B) is sumped out of the M1 projectile body and properly disposed of. The M1 projectile body is then refilled with Contractor-Furnished Material (CFM) inert fill in accordance with the appropriate technical data. The fuze well is drilled and a CFM long, unthreaded fuze well liner installed. A CFM CYU-1/B cartridge case is then fitted with a CFM M28A2 primer and a GFM M67 propelling charge. The M1 projectile body is then placed in the CYU-1B cartridge case and crimped. The TNT supplementary charge is placed back in the round and a GFM M739A1 fuze installed. The completed PGU-43/B cartridge is placed in the

Chamber Gage and, once passed, placed in a CFM PA-71/A fiber tube container. The PA-71/A fiber tube container is placed in a CFM wire-bound box.

(b) PGU-44/B HE Cartridge Refurbished: Vietnam-era M1 HE cartridges are supplied as GFM to the contractor and are required to be broken _________________________________ down. The M1 projectile body is removed from the packaging and set aside for reuse. The original wooden box, PA-55 fiber tube containers, old cartridge cases, primer, and propelling charge are to be properly disposed of. The M1 projectile body is prepared as follows: The metal nose plug is removed and saved for production of future PGU-45/B cartridges, if ordered. The TNT supplementary charge is removed and set aside for replacement back into the round later during the production process. The M1 projectile body must then be x-rayed twice for quality inspection and found to be acceptable according to the item specification. The second x-ray must be

90-degrees from the first x-ray exposure. A CFM CYU-1/B cartridge case is then fitted with a CFM M28A2 primer and a GFM M67 propelling charge. The M1 projectile body is then placed in the CYU-1B cartridge case and crimped. The TNT supplementary charge is placed back in the round and a GFM FMU-153/B fuze installed. The completed PGU-44/B cartridge is placed in the Chamber Gage and, once passed, placed in a CFM PA-71/A fiber tube container. The PA-71/A fiber tube container is placed in a CFM wire-bound box.

NOTE: It is common for refurbished PGU-43/B cartridges and refurbished PGU-44/B cartridges to be ordered together. The GFM Vietnam-____ era M1 HE cartridges are typically prepared for x-ray inspection, x-rayed, and any projectile bodies that pass inspection are set

aside for PGU-44/B production. Projectile bodies that are rejected are set aside for PGU-43/B production. Once enough accepted projectile bodies have passed inspection to support PGU-44/B production, the x-ray inspection process is stopped. All remaining GFM

M1 HE cartridges are sumped out for PGU-43/B production.

(c) PGU-44/B HE Cartridge New Manufacture: Once the Vietnam-era GFM M1 HE cartridges are exhausted, new manufacture PGU-44/B production _____________________________________ will begin. The new manufacture PGU-44/B production requires the contractor to obtain all components for PGU-44/B end item production except for GFM Comp B, FMU-153/B fuze, and the M67 propelling charge. A new CFM M1 projectile body is melt poured with GFM Comp B and cooled. The M1 projectile body must then be x-rayed twice for quality inspection and found to be acceptable according to the item specification. The second x-ray must be 90-degrees from the first x-ray exposure. The Comp B requires back-drilling for the short CFM fuze well liner. There is no TNT supplementary charge in this variant. A CFM CYU-1/B cartridge case is then fitted with a CFM M28A2 primer and a GFM M67 propelling charge. The M1 projectile body is then placed in the CYU-1B cartridge case and crimped. The completed

PGU-44/B cartridge is placed in the Chamber Gage and, once passed, placed in a CFM PA-71/A fiber tube container. The PA-71/A fiber tube container is placed in a CFM wire-bound box.

(d) PGU-45/B HF Cartridge New Manufacture: New manufacture PGU-45/B HF cartridge production requires the contractor to obtain all _____________________________________ components for PGU-45/B cartridge end item production except for GFM Comp B, M67 propelling charge, and the metal nose plug closure which has been saved from the break-down of the M1 HE cartridges for refurbished PGU-43/B and refurbished PGU-44/B production. A new

CFM HF steel projectile body is melt poured with GFM Comp B and cooled. The HF projectile body must then be x-rayed twice for quality inspection and found to be acceptable according to the item specification. The second x-ray must be 90-degrees from the first x-ray exposure. The Comp B requires back drilling for the short CFM fuze well liner. There is no TNT supplementary charge in this variant.

A metal nose plug closure, saved from PGU-43/B and/or PGU-44/B refurbishment, is installed. The PGU-45/B cartridge is unfuzed as delivered. A CFM CYU-1/B cartridge case is then fitted with a CFM M28A2 primer and a GFM M67 propelling charge. The HF projectile body is then placed in the CYU-1B cartridge case and crimped. The completed PGU-45/B cartridge is placed in the Chamber Gage and, once passed, placed in a CFM PA-71/A fiber tube container. The PA-71/A fiber tube container is placed in a CFM wire-bound box.

(e) M1 HE Cartridge: The M1 HE cartridge consists of a M14 series cartridge case, a M28B2 primer, a M67 propellant charge, and a hollow _______________ fragmenting projectile. A new CFM M1 HE projectile body will be melt poured with GFM Comp B and cooled. The M1 projectile body must then be x-rayed for quality inspection and found to be acceptable according to the item specification. The accepted M1 projectile body is back drilled for a long CFM fuze well liner and a GFM TNT supplementary charge is installed. A CFM plastic closing plug is fitted to the M1 projectile body. The M1 HE cartridge is unfused as delivered. The CFM M14 series cartridge case is fitted with a GFM M28B2 primer and a GFM M67 propelling charge. The completed M1 cartridge is placed in a CFM PA-55 fiber tube container. The PA-55 fiber tube container is placed in a CFM wooden box with two M1 HE cartridges per box. The wooden box is placed on a CFM pallet.

NOTE: The M1 HE cartridge is not crimped.____
