Conventional Munitions

Abstract

This program investigates, develops, and establishes the technical feasibility and military utility of guidance and ordnance technologies for conventional air-launched munitions. Program supports core technical competencies of fuze technology; energetic materials; damage mechanisms; munitions aerodynamics and guidance, navigation, and control; terminal seeker sciences; and munition systems effects. Technologies to be developed include blast, fragmentation, penetrating and low-collateral damage warheads, hard target fuzing, precise terminal guidance, and high performance and insensitive explosives. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Department of Defense (DoD) Science and Technology (S&T) Executive Committee 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
