The XM1113 is an Extended Range, Rocket Assisted Projectile that replaces the current inventory of the limited M549A1 RAP rounds used in towed and self-propelled 155mm Artillery Systems. This extended range, warfare operations round increases engagement range to 40km in a 39 caliber weapon system and over 60km in a 58 caliber weapon system. The XM1113 supports mechanized attack forces and advancing infantry with an additional stand-off range to conduct operations. Longer range precision fire allows artillery forces to remain farther back from enemy fire enhancing performance and increasing safety. The XM1113 can be fired off both the M777A2 Lightweight Towed 155mm Howitzer and the M109A7 Paladin Self-Propelled Howitzer platforms. This projectile is loaded with insensitive high explosives and include enhanced effects on target.
