What is the NEW for a 105mm round?

The Net Explosive Weight (NEW) for a 105mm round is indeed approximately 10 lbs of high explosives (H). Understanding NEW is crucial for safety assessments and risk management during UXO operations. In the context of artillery, the 105mm round typically contains a significant amount of high explosive material designed to achieve its intended effects on the battlefield.

The designation as "high" explosives indicates they detonate, providing substantial blast effects when detonated. The value of 10 lbs represents the total amount of explosive material that can potentially cause damage within a given radius, which is an essential consideration for safe handling, transportation, and disposal of unexploded ordnance.

The other options represent different weights or types of explosives that are not representative of the standard for a 105mm round. This information is critical for UXO specialists who must accurately identify and manage various types of ordnance based on their explosive characteristics and weights.
