A uniform projectile casing which is utilized for projectiles with different ranges. A projectile of relatively short range can in this case be optimized with regard to payload, whereas a projectile with the relatively long range is subjected to a range optimization, with a reduction in payload. The payload of a projectile of relatively long range is generally lower in relation to a projectile with relatively short range. The artillery projectiles have a projectile casing of equal size for the projectiles of different range. To create an artillery projectile, for example 155 mm, a uniform payload-optimized 30 km projectile casing) is used, from which 40 km projectiles can be generated (produced, assembled) by means of a reduction in payload. The range is selected and defined by mutually different projectile bases. The artillery projectile has multiple modular parts which are assembled in order to create the artillery projectile.
