Insensitive Munitions
Abstract
The enhanced munitions effort will explore and develop advanced energetics concepts and explosive and propellant materials with the potential to improve the performance, range, and lethality of weapons. Technologies and concepts developed will have the potential to impact multiple munitions technologies with wide applicability to improve the performance, lethality, and range of weapons to ensure the U.S. is not outgunned and outranged on the battlefield of the future. The Joint Enhanced Munitions Technology Program (JEMTP) investments focus on five Munition Areas: 1) High Performance Rocket Propulsion; 2) Minimum Signature Rocket Propulsion; 3) Area Effects Warheads; 4) Hard Target Effects Warheads; and 5) Gun Propulsion. Munition Area Technology Groups (MATG), under tri-service leadership, have developed technology roadmaps for each Munition Area, which are used to guide investments based on goals consistent with the DoD priorities. These technologies, alone or in combination, will be incorporated in hardware, simulating real-world munitions, to demonstrate their utility and feasibility as part of Technology Transition Agreements with Program Executive Offices (PEOs).
