SAFETY SUMMARY

WARNING Clear the SMAW before performing any maintenance procedures, checks, or inspections. Ensure that the spotting rifle chamber and magazine well are empty. See pages 2-54, 2-55, and 2-56, step 3A. (Pages 2-5, 2-33, 3-8, 3-17) If there is evidence that a tactical or practice rocket has been damaged, do not attempt to fire it. (Pages 2-8, 4-5) Do not remove the rocket encasement forward end cap for inspection purposes until time of use. Do not attempt to remove the rocket from the encasement. (Pages 2-8, 4-4) Ensure firing mechanism safety lever is in the SAFE position, and charge lever is not in the CHARGE position before inserting or removing rocket or inserting spotting rifle magazine. Do not let muzzle of the launcher touch the

und during this operation. If muzzle should touch the ground, perform procedures on page 2-33. (Pages 2-30, 5)

SAFETY SUMMARY (Cont'd)

WARNING The rocket encasement end cap, when in place on the rocket encasement, shunts the rocket motor igniter. This shunt prevents accidental rocket motor ignition due to electrical interference. When an unfired rocket is removed from the launcher for any reason, immediately replace the end cap. Failure to replace the end cap could result in accidental rocket motor ignition. (Page 2-31) Do not depress the launch lever (2) forward while placing the charge lever in the CHARGE position. (Page 2-35) When the charge lever is in the CHARGE position, the SMAW is able to fire. Do not place the safety lever (1) in the FIRE position or depress the launch lever (2) forward until the target is in sight. (Page 2-35) Do not fire SMAW from enclosed areas. This could be hazardous to the gunner and other personnel. (Page 2-38) Always ensure no personnel are in the backblast danger area prior to firing the rocket. (Pages 2-38, 2-52) Whe e prone firing position, ensure the operator’s body does not extend beyond the rocket encasement. The could cause injury. (Page 2-42)

n using thbackblast

TM 08673A-10/1B


WARNING When using the prone firing position, keep the rear end cap clear of the ground and other obstructions. Do not let the muzzle touch the ground. If the muzzle should touch the ground, perform the procedures on page 2-33. (Page 2-42) Do not look at the sun, flares, lasers, or searchlights while sighting through the telescopic sight. Severe eye injury could occur. (Page 2-45) If a noticeable difference in sound or recoil is experienced, or if no trace is observed and the cartridge does not eject while firing the spotting rifle, stop firing immediately. A projectile may be lodged in the barrel, which could cause an explosion with the next shot fired. See WEAPONS MALFUNCTIONS TROUBLESHOOTING, page 3-2. (Page 2-47)

WARNING Once the end cap is removed from the SMAW HEAA encased rocket, take precautions to avoid damage (dents) to the portion of the HEAA rocket that protrudes from the end of the encasement. This portion of the SMAW HEAA rocket is called the probe and contains the crush switch for the warhead. The HEAA rocket will protrude from 3.90 inches to 4.20 inches from the forward end of the braided encasement. Denting the protruding portion of the HEAA rocket could cause the rocket to detonate at the minimum arming distance when the rocket is fired. Once the end cap is removed from an encased SMAW HEAA rocket, immediately load the round into the SMAW launcher. Should it be required to unload a live HEAA rocket from a SMAW launcher, immediately return the end cap to the live encased rocket in order to shunt the electrical circuit within the rocket and protect the circuit switch. (Page 2-64) Avoid firing the SMAW HEAA rocket through heavy foliage or obstacles such as barbed wire, fencing, etc. These obstacles could damage the crush switch on the rocket probe detonating the warhead prematurely. (Page 2-64) Clear the SMAW prior to preparing for travel. (Page 2-67)

TM 08673A-10/1B


WARNING Discharge hazard to SMAW rockets from operating helicopters: A small possibility that electric current induced in the firing circuit by electrostatic discharge (ESD) could potentially cause the rocket motor igniter to fire and result in an inadvertent launching of the round. ESD created by helicopters provides the most potential for inadvertent launch. (Page 2-68) If rocket does not fire, wait 15 seconds to ensure delayed firing does not occur. Keep the aim point on the target while waiting. (Page 3-2) As the bolt/carrier assembly is removed, it will snap backwards. Keep fingers clear of this area. (Page 3-13) Do not subject the tactical or practice rocket to rough handling. It is high explosive ammunition. (Page 4-3)

ere is a noise simulator installed in the trainer, remove it prior to inspection. See step 13, page 5-10 for oval procedures. (Page 5-3)

CAUTION Do not lay the launcher on the telescopic sight while performing PMCS. (Pages 2-5, 3-8) Do not subject rocket or launcher to rough handling or dropping. Mishandling the launcher may misalign launcher boresighting. Mishandling the rocket may damage rocket components and cause a malfunction at launch or during flight. (Page 2-67) The internal mechanism of the tube is spring loaded. Cover the tube opening with thumb until the carrier stop spring assembly is removed. (Page 3-9) When installing bolt (3) in tube (11), ensure the larger hole in the firing pin head (14) remains aligned with extractor (5). (Page 3-14) When using water to clean the SMAW (as described in the note on page 3-17), take care not to immerse the firing mechanism. (Page 3-17) Do not touch the lenses with fingers or allow foreign materials to contact lenses. (Page 3-20)

OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS (Cont’d) ACQUIRE TARGET USING OPEN SIGHTS (FOR NE ROUND) The SMAW-NE round can be employed using the iron sights if adjustments are made for the range to the target. The iron sights on the SMAW are boresighted for 250 meters for the High Explosive, Dual Purpose and HEAA rounds. This equates to 137 meters (above 32 °F) and 125 meters (below 32 °F) for the SMAW-NE; at these conditions no aim point adjustment is required. The Iron Sight Range Table provides aim point adjustments for targets closer or beyond the boresighted distances. Positive values indicate the impact point is low and needs to be adjusted higher; negative values indicate the impact point is high and the aim point needs to adjusted lower.

OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS (Cont’d) HEAA CHARACTERISTICS The HEAA rocket is designed to penetrate armor plate in excess of 600mm. This capability enables the SMAW gunner to effectively engage all known threat armor to a distance of 500 meters. Prepare SMAW for Firing

Unlike the SMAW Dual Mode Rocket, the spotting rifle magazine for the SMAW HEAA rocket is located on the exterior of the rocket end cap. To remove the spotting rifle magazine for the HEAA rocket:

(1) Locate spotting rifle magazine on the exterior of encasement end cap.

(2) Depress spotting rifle magazine cover tabs, and

(3) Pull spotting rifle magazine from end cap.

It is not necessary to remove magazine cover from spotting rifle magazine prior to loading into SMAW launcher.

TM 08673A-10/1B

2-64

OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS (Cont’d) HEAA CHARACTERISTICS (Cont’d)

Once the end cap is removed from the SMAW HEAA encased rocket take precautions to avoid damage (dents) to the portion of the HEAA rocket that protrudes from the end of the encasement. This portion of the SMAW HEAA rocket is called the probe and contains the crush switch for the warhead. The HEAA rocket will protrude from 3.90 inches to 4.20 inches from the forward end of the braided encasement. Denting the protruding portion of the HEAA rocket could cause the rocket to detonate at the minimum arming distance when the rocket is fired. Once the end cap is removed from an encased SMAW HEAA rocket, immediately load the round into the SMAW launcher. Should it be required to unload a live HEAA rocket from a SMAW launcher, immediately return the end cap to the live encased rocket in order to shunt the electrical circuit within the rocket and protect the circuit switch.

WARNING

Avoid firing the SMAW HEAA rocket through heavy foliage or obstacles such as barbed wire, fencing, etc. These obstacles could damage the crush switch on the rocket probe detonating the warhead prematurely.

TM 08673A-10/1B

2-65

OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS (Cont’d) TARGET ACQUISITION WITH HEAA ROCKET The SMAW telescopic sight was not designed to be used against moving targets. An armored vehicle traversing a firing position at maximum speed will be moving too fast to allow the SMAW gunner to keep the target in the scope’s field of view and hold the correct lead. It is recommended that the SMAW launcher’s open sights be used when engaging a fast moving target.

TM 08673A-10/1B

2-66

OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS (Cont’d) TARGET ACQUISITION WITH HEAA ROCKET (Cont’d) On stationary or slow moving targets, normal target acquisition techniques are used.

USING SPOTTING RIFLE WITH HEAA ROCKET Range acquisition of a target with the spotting rifle greatly increases first round hit probability; however, the potential loss of surprise must be considered. In an ambush, or defensive position where range is known and firing points are predetermined, use of the spotting rifle is not necessary. Pair or volley firing techniques are recommended.

NOTE Moving targets can be ranged with the spotting rifle, but variance of the target speed must be considered.

TM 08673A-10/1B

PREPARATION FOR TRAVEL

Clear the SMAW prior to preparing for travel.

WARNING

Do not subject rocket or launcher to rough handling or dropping. Mishandling the launcher may misalign launcher boresighting. Mishandling the rocket may damage rocket components and cause a malfunction at launch or during flight.

CAUTION

1. Prior to travel, inspect, and clean the SMAW, see pages 3-17 thru 3-28.

2. When the launcher and accompanying rocket are transported in a vehicle and not in their shipping

containers, they should be tied down to prevent bouncing. Rockets should be secured pointing either up or sideways to the direction of travel so the end caps are pointed away from the vehicle driver and other personnel.

PREPARATION FOR TRAVEL (Cont’d)

Discharge hazard to SMAW rockets from operating helicopters: A small possibility that electric current induced in the firing circuit by electrostatic discharge (ESD) could potentially cause the rocket motor igniter to fire and result in an inadvertent launching of the round. ESD created by helicopters provides the most potential for inadvertent launch.

WARNING

3. SMAW ammunition transported in helicopters shall be placed in the SMAW bag (NSN 8465-01-521-2356)

to prevent premature firing of the rocket.
