Designed to replace the 105mm gun M68A1 in the M1 and the IPM1, it was expected to have improved penetration performance, particularly with the upcoming XM900 APFSDS (later cancelled and superseded by the M900A1).
The system consists of an M147 firing kit, an M58A3 line charge and a 5-inch MK22 Mod 4 rocket. [8] The line charge is 350 feet long and contains five pounds per linear foot of C-4 explosive.
