According to the report, the US Army is soliciting potential manufacturers for XM1208 155mm cluster shells, with a targeted annual production rate of 30,000 rounds.
The report stated that a recently released market survey states that the XM1208 can be sourced from multiple vendors, with the service requesting capacity projections from all interested suppliers.
The report also said that this capacity may be achieved with multiple sources and that sources shall include their minimum sustaining and maximum capacity rates.
Additionally, the US announced in 2023 that it would provide cluster munitions to Ukraine as Washington and its European partners struggled to scale up artillery output. Cluster weapons enable a single round to disperse numerous sub munitions, increasing the likelihood of target impact, particularly during area-effect fire where precision engagement is not feasible.
