3P is a programmable proximity fuse. I personally think AHEAD is fine for AA work but think it has disadvantages in the air-to-ground role compared to 3P. AHEAD for example always airbursts and is directional - the fragments and thrown in a fairly tight cone forward. 3P can be set to airburst, burst on impact or for delay (to explode inside a building, light armoured vehicle, etc.) with a traditional radial fragmentation pattern. I think this makes 3P for flexible for AA and air to ground use. AHEAD is the new sexy thing though and tends to get more attention.
