Weapons and Munitions Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) investigates, designs and evaluates enabling technologies to develop lethal and nonlethal weapons and munitions with increased performance and the potential for lower weight, reduced size, and improved affordability. Project H18 focuses on weapons and munitions development. Project H19 researches technologies to maintain the lethality of US weapons as well as directed energy (DE) capabilities and subsystems to support the weaponization of High Power RF systems. Project H28 evaluates munition components such as fuzes, power, warheads with tailorable effects, and insensitive munition compliant energetic materials. Work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0602303A (Missile Technology), PE 0602105A (Materials Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology), PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), and PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Ground Maneuver and Lethality Portfolios and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is primarily performed by the Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, 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.
