Weapons and Munitions Technology

Abstract

This 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 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 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), and PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology). Beginning in FY20, work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with PE 0602147A (Long Range Precision Fires Technology), PE 0602145 (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology),PE 0602148 (Future Vertical Lift Technology), PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology), PE0602141A (Lethality Technology), and PE0602146A (Network C3I Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. The work in this PE is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
