ADVANTAGES OF EBIX MUNITIONS
Enhanced Soldier Firepower & Survivability 40mm Enhanced Blast Insensitive Explosive
munitions will provide multi target effects, thereby enhancing the firepower of the troops significantly
Process Benefits of EBIX Munitions
– Press formulation
– Direct replacement for Comp A5
Operational Benefits of EBIX Munitions
– Provide door & wall breaching capabilities
– Effective against confined area
– No degradation in fragmentation &
penetration effects
– Compatible to all LV grenade launchers & HV
automatic grenade launchers
Logistic Benefits
– Insensitive munitions properties
Direct replacement
No change in process required
