M430 UAS Dropped Munition
The M430 High Explosive Dual Purpose 40 mm Grenade is a conventional ordnance item that has been adapted for use as an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) dropped munition. The grenade has been modified for use as a drone-dropped bomb by partially disassembling the munition, manually arming the fuze, and reassembling the grenade. A 3D-printed tail has been added to ensure that the muntion falls in a nose-down attitude after release from a UAS.
The M430 UAS dropped munition is best employed to engage personnel, armored vehicles, unarmored vehicles, structures, and critical infrastructure.
