The XM1155 round is compatible with all 155 mm artillery

Raytheon Missiles & Defense is developing a ramjet-propelled shell that will double the range of US military artillery to over 100 km (62 mi). Working under a US$7.9 million US Army contract, the tactical 155mm XM1155 Extended-Range Artillery Projectile is designed to combine increased range with precision targeting technology.

One example of this is the XM1155 project, which aims at creating an artillery round that doesn’t just fly ballistically but incorporates a ramjet to propel it and extend its range. Though the details of how the new round will work have yet to be divulged, the principle of the ramjet means that the gun would fire the round, accelerating it to a fast enough speed to compress the incoming air inside the ramjet’s combustion chamber to allow it to ignite and run.

They are so cool these ramject shells. We need to develop a larger version as an anti-ship weapon – range of about 400 km out to the edge of our EEZ.

Is that the right diameter for atomic bombs? No. That’s 280 mm artillery.

Both the Yanlk and the Russians had small nukes in 155 mm (NATO) or 152 mm (Eastern Bloc) sizes. AFAIK they were all decomissioned and destroyed in the 80s or 90s as part of the early rounds of disarmament.

Thank fuck they never kept the designs.
