Joint Munitions Advanced Technology

Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to build sustainable and long-term technology advantages to solve operational and mission-focused challenges. The Joint Enhanced Munitions Technology Program (JEMTP), within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) was established to develop and demonstrate joint munitions enhancing technologies (energetics, warheads, propulsion systems, advanced lethality mechanisms, fuzes and fuze components, and target detection), to provide future kinetic fires capabilities to ensure advantage for U.S. warfighters. The JEMTP concentrates on cross-cutting munitions technology needs that benefit multiple services. JEMTP investments focus on increasing and improving the performance, lethality, range, and survivability for existing and future weapons systems. The program’s plans and investments are informed by threat-opportunity based analyses from Joint Force campaign scenarios. In FY 2025, the program will execute the Energetics Advanced Technology Project focusing on development of advanced energetic materials and manufacturing to enhance munitions capability and address supply chain resilience. The JEMTP activities within Program Element 0603000D8Z are executed under two Project Codes: 077 - Enhanced Advanced Munitions Technology and 356 – Energetics Advanced Technologies. Project Code 077 - The Enhanced Munitions Advanced Technology Project demonstrates critical munitions technologies such as advanced materials and designs, fuzing, power sources, seeker technologies, and counter-countermeasure technologies that combine with Energetics Advanced Technologies to demonstrate enhanced munitions performance and survivability. Project Code 355 – The Energetics Advanced Technology Project will coordinate with and leverage DoD and Service activities to develop and execute strategies for advanced energetics to enable the transition of such technologies into munitions and the energetics manufacturing base, and to inform DoD munitions requirements using prototypes and demonstrations of advanced energetics concepts.

• Change Summary Explanation: The increase of $5.765 million in FY 2025 is due to a realignment of $20.639 million from Program Element 0603375D8Z project code 375 to support Technology Innovation, a realignment of $12.632 million from Program Element 603375D8Z project code 377 to support Anomalous Incidents Research and a realignment of $0.355 million from Program Element 0603527D8Z project code 527 to support Retract Larch. A reduction of $20.861 million in FY 2025 was applied to meet DoD overall funding reductions, which were spread to mitigate impact. Funding increase of $0.083 million in FY 2025 for Economic Assumptions.
