caption_attribution_description: English: SMArt 155 - SubMunition for Artillery - by GIWS - Cutaway
context_page_description: SMArt 155 is a German 155 mm artillery round, designed for a long range, indirect fire top attack role against armoured vehicles. The SMArt carrier shell contains two submunitions with infrared sensor and millimeter wave radar, which descend over the battlefield on ballutes and attack hardened targets with explosively formed penetrator warheads. Built with multiple redundant self-destruct mechanisms, these submunitions were specifically designed to fall outside the category of submunition weapons prohibited by the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions.
  The name SMArt 155 is a contraction of its German name Suchzünder Munition für die Artillerie 155. SMArt is manufactured by GIWS mbh, a partnership between German armaments companies Rheinmetall and Diehl BGT Defence.
  SMArt was first deployed by the Bundeswehr in 2000, and has been sold to the armies of Switzerland, Greece and Australia.
