The MRM-KE, also known as X-Rod, is a 120mm precision guided munition for use by the M256 tank gun found on the M1 Abrams. It was designed to fullfill a requirement for Future Combat Systems for a long range, Beyond Line of Sight tank munition.
There a great difference between a proyectile and a missile. the fisrt is propulsed for the combustion in a shell of any type of round. The second need and internal fuel to propulse himself to the target!
Look it up instead of pretending to know what this projectile is. I do not kow what this is yet, however it is not your ERDPICM. There are no 130mm arillery weapons in service except for some gun systems mounted on russian ships and the Bereg coastal defense system. The barrel visible at the beginning of the video is a tank barrel, most likely a Challenger 2 with a 120mm gun. The round you list is an artillery round for indirect (non line of sight) fire, it also is a 155mm, not 130mm.
The round being fired here is definitely a 120mm round for a Challenger 2, although the only round even close to the way this looks is the L23 APFSDS round. This could be some new prototype round that I had not heard of yet though.
Don't think its a kinetic energy round if it where there would be no need for the forward part not to rotate. Its obviously got some kind of HEAT warhead, they degrade in effect when spun. Is it Russian they have some missile rounds in there 125mm guns?
The camera is not actively following the round. Instead, base on mathematical calculation with the speed and trajectory of the round. They program the camera to view the round's flightpath and syncronized it when it's fired.
It's like watching a ball flying, you already know fast and where it will go so we can guess it's flightpath and don't need to stare at the ball to follow it.
@crapdice I assume the projectile was tracked by radar and the camera oriented accordingly. Look up videos demonstrating the MTHEL, pretty amazing how accurately such a small and fast moving projectile can be tracked.
@Roflzmahwoflz Tank rounds are rather fast the SABOT round for the M1 tank is nearly a mile a second muzzle velocity. the HEAT round which this round would likely have the same velocity is just about 80% of that speed so its actually Hypersonic.
@crapdice Simple theres several ways to do it... you literally have a lineup of high speed cameras and smooth in the exchange to show the transition to give the sensation that a single camera is following it. or they film it for like a tenth of a second while it moves oh a hundred yards or so from far away zoom and trim the film to be cleaner and more detailed and viola ... you have your super high speed tracked video, believe it or not they make cameras that can do stuff like this
@crapdice Camera is mounted on a spring loader cradle (you can see it correct itself at the end) Some camera's can take up to a million frames a second.
If you want to see something really cool, watch this...
Now , some kind of bullet can intercept others... changing their direction with laser technologies why a camera is not going to be able to follow a howitzer?? detection of movement for example.
In this context, I agree it should not be referred to as a missile. I was trying to point out that the use of the term 'missile' is *understandable* (although it is kind of dumbed down and it might in fact reflect ignorance of that sort on the part of the person who posted this vid)
it's nOT A MMMIISSSIILLLE it's a sabot round before the panels break away it carries a super dense tungsten dart inside it and kills armor with pure kinetic energy alone no explosive charge like the heat round
technically its a missle though. its a long tubular aparatus shot out of a cannon or whatever..and it propels itself right? thats a missle in my book.
it is not a missle it is a shoot projectile, wich is a sabot AT round,and i would know as i do bomb disposal and we have to be able to identify LSA(land service amunition),and its not propeling its self as the charge in the tank propeled it.
Depends who you ask. If you throw a milkshake out of a car window and hit someone, legally that milkshake is considered a missile, as would any projectile. It's an issue of semantics, though, and I don't think we need to belabor it any further.
Aardwolf001, saying that this is a missile is like going to a semi truck convention, going up to a trucker, pointing at a semi truck and asking "what kind of car is that?". Technically you are correct in your definition, but you sound ignorant.
they extimate the speed wich the cannon shell goes and then they config the camera to move at the same speed as the cannon... but the camera records at a super high frame rate
0:25 well the camera just reach it's angle limit.

Actually not a missile but a fin stabilized tank round. Missles do not rotate in flight. Projectiles do.
scubabob2000 9 months ago
In 1945 there was a camera capable of shooting the nuclear explosion in slo-mo, so it isn't so unbeleivable to track a tank shell nowadays...

Its a 130mm formerly the Extended-Range Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition, or (ERDPICM)
The Code name of this PROYECTILE is "EXCALIBUR" from a German Manufacturer. Its for use with artillery or 130mm cannon equiped tanks or 777.
Look it up instead of guessing wtf this proyectile is!

Dude calm down, you gonna come in your pants..
Its a KE-MRM called X-ROD, and you guess that right, ia a 120mm cannon.
Look it up right here on YT.
The Excalibur has 8 big stabilizing Fins, this Munition just have six. But both Munition have GPS trayectory correction system
I didnt update the ID info because i am not a YT slave.. I have a life men!
The first info i post was incorrect.. Thanks for making me to update the ID of this Munition...
