The US is currently field testing 30mm proximity ammo, but is also working on some form of programmed fuzing similar to AHEAD. The proximity version is being developed on a rush basis for interim use, and in case the AHEAD(ish) round does not work out.

Interesting development in Poland.

"Poland Builds Rival to AHEAD: 35mm Drone-Kill Round Passes Tests at MSPO"

If it works as advertised in the field, it will only take 7 rounds for the same kill probability as 24 rounds of kinetic/direct hit ammunition.
