Conventional Munitions

Abstract

This program investigates, develops, and establishes the technical feasibility and military utility of advanced guidance and ordnance technologies for conventional air-launched munitions. Program supports core technical competencies of target identification and tracking, guidance navigation and control, munition systems, explosives, fuzes, and warheads/damage mechanisms. Technologies to be developed include blast, fragmentation, penetrating and low-collateral damage warheads, variable height/depth fuzing, precise guidance, and high performance and insensitive explosives. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Reliance 21 process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 2, Applied Research, since it develops and determines the technical feasibility and military utility of evolutionary and revolutionary technologies.
