Weapons and Munitions Technology
Abstract
The objective of this program element (PE) is to design and develop enabling technology for improved lethal and nonlethal weapons and munitions with increased performance and the potential for lower weight, reduced size, and improved affordability. This PE supports weapons and munitions development (project H18); technologies to maintain the lethality of US weapons and directed energy (DE) technologies and subsystems to support the weaponization of high power microwave (HPM), and short pulse lasers (project H19) and development of munition components such as fuzes, power, warheads with tailorable effects, and insensitive munition compliant energetic materials (project H28). Project H1A funds congressional special interest items. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this PE is primarily performed by the Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, in cooperation with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, the Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Fort Belvoir, VA, the Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Warren, MI, and the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Huntsville, AL.
