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. The effort supports core technical competencies of fuze technology; energetic materials; damage mechanisms; munitions aerodynamics, guidance, navigation, and control; terminal seeker sciences; and munition systems effects. Technologies to be developed include blast, fragmentation, penetrating and low-collateral damage war-heads, hard-target fuzing, precise terminal guidance, and high-performance and insensitive explosives. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver science & technology capabilities. The use of such program funds in this PE would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0601102F, 0602102F, 0602201F, 0602202F, 0602203F, 0602204F, 0602605F, 0602788F, 1206601F, and 0602298F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This program is in Budget Activity 2, Applied Research because this budget activity includes studies, investigations, and non-system specific technology efforts directed toward general military needs with a view toward developing and evaluating the feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions and determining their parameters.

Change Summary Explanation
Decrease in FY 2018 in Other Adjustments is due to realignment of funds to PE 0602212F to support Research and Development Projects, 10 U.S.C. Section 2358. Decrease in FY 2018 due to $5.800 million reprogramming action of funds to PE 0603601F, Conventional Weapons Technology, for hypersonic weapon technology. Increase in FY 2020 due to civilian pay re-pricing adjustment and realignment and consolidation of Air Force Applied Research Science and Technology funding for Future Air Force Capabilities Applied Research efforts.
