Air crews in Iraq and Afghanistan go to battle with a proven winner - ATK'S M789 Lightweight 30mm ammunition (LW30mm). Used primarily in Apache AH64 helicopters, the LW30mm ammunition is battle-tested and capable of supporting numerous missions and tactics. The dual-purpose warhead provides the firepower necessary to penetrate armor while maintaining its high-explosive capability for use against soft targets.
