MISSILE TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
This program element (PE) designs, fabricates and evaluates advanced component technologies for tactical missiles, rockets, guided munitions, and their launch systems in order to increase lethality, precision, and effectiveness under adverse battlefield conditions while reducing system cost, size and weight. Major goals in Project 214 include enhancing the survivability of the munition, launch and fire control systems, and forward operating bases; increasing kill probabilities against diverse targets; and providing advanced simulation and virtual prototyping analysis tools. Projects 223, G04, and G05 fund congressional special interest items. The work in this PE is complimentary to PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology), and fully coordinated with PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology, Robotics Technology), PE 0602307A (Advanced Weapons Technology), and PE 0708045A (End Item Industrial Preparedness Activities). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. The work in this PE is performed by the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Huntsville, AL.
