Combustible cartridge cases bring numerous advantages compared with conventional metallic cases:

• Fully combustible concept, i.e. no spent cases.
• Full ballistic performance from -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F).
• Increased firing rate.
• Reduction in barrel wear.
• Protection of the propellant charge.
• Compatibility with automatic loading due to high mechanical properties.
• Additional energy to fire, contributes energy to the ballistic cycle.
• Reduction in charge costs, particularly for artillery charges.
• Contribution to charge vulnerability reduction: lower reaction level for all types of threats.
• Improved crew compartment environment due to reduction in noxious fumes and clutter from spent metal cases and thus increased crew effectiveness.
• Work at higher chamber pressures, for which extraction of metallic cartridge cases would be impossible.
• Total round weight reduction resulting in easing burden on tank crew and improved logistics system.
