Conventional Munitions
Abstract
This program investigates, develops, and establishes the technical feasibility and military utility of guidance and ordnance technologies for conventional munitions. The effort supports core technical competencies of munitions aerodynamics, guidance, navigation, and control; terminal seeker sciences; fuze technology; energetic materials; damage mechanisms; and munition systems effects. Technologies and associated models and simulation assets to be developed include seekers that provide high-confidence target discrimination and classification with precise target location and robust terminal tracking; navigation technologies that do not rely upon the Global Positioning System (GPS); blast, fragmentation, penetrating, low-collateral-damage, and multi-mission warheads; collaborative, synchronized fuzing; 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, 0602298F, and 0602020F. This program element may include necessary expenses to support the operation and maintenance of facilities to manage, execute, and deliver science and technology capabilities. 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.
