Weapons and Munitions Technology
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) investigates, designs and evaluates enabling technologies to develop lethal 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 and enhance weapons lethality. Project H28 evaluates munition components such as fuzes, power, warheads with tailorable effects, and 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 Lethality Portfolio and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. The work in this PE is performed by the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM).
