BMCS for Artillery Gun

BMCS is advantageous over conventional cloth bag charges because of simpler operation and reduced logistics during storage / transportation and war scenario. Two types of modular charges {lower zone (1 & 2) & higher zone (3, 4, 5 & 6)} replace more number of existing different bagged sub-charges thus avoiding disposal of left-over charges. The combustible case protects propellants & allied components from environment & unplanned stimuli. Higher rate of fire is achievable due to faster loading using auto-loading system. BMCS developed by HEMRL is used as a propulsion system for various 155 mm artillery gun systems like Bofors and Soltam.
