What Is the XM1211 High Explosive Proximity Round?
The XM1211 is a 30mm x 113mm round designed for short-range air defense against small unmanned aerial systems. It is equipped with a proximity sensor that detonates when close enough to a target, sending fragmentation to neutralize the threat.
The short-range round is compatible with Northrop Grumman’s XM914 and M230LF Bushmaster Chain Guns. It was developed in collaboration with the Army Joint Program Executive Office for Armaments & Ammunition, Project Manager Maneuver Ammunition Systems and the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command.
Originally developed to meet an urgent materiel release in 2021, Northrop Grumman and PM MAS are now expanding production of the XM1211 to meet growing domestic and international demand.
