Missile Technology

Abstract

This 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 increasing kill probabilities against diverse targets. In FY18/FY19 ,work in this PE is complimentary to PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology) and fully coordinated with PE 0602307A (Advanced Weapons Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), and PE 0708045A (End Item Industrial Preparedness Activities). Beginning in FY20, work in this PE is complimentary to PE 0603464A (Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology), PE 0603465A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology), PE 0603463A (Network/C3I Advanced Technology), and PE 0603466A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
