Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) matures weapons and munitions components/subsystems and demonstrates lethal and non-lethal weapons and munitions with potential to increase force application and force protection capabilities across the spectrum of operations. The weapons and munitions include artillery, mortars, medium caliber, tank fired, and shoulder fired. Project 232 focuses on affordable delivery of scalable (lethal to non-lethal) effects. Project L96 matures and integrates critical high energy laser subsystems into a mobile demonstrator to explore and validate system performance in relevant environments. Project L97demonstrates performance of advanced obscurants and delivery of mechanisms and conducts forensic analysis of explosives and hazardous materials to enable detection by Soldier and Small Units. Work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602307A (Advanced Weapons Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602622A (Chemical, Smoke, and Equipment Defeating Technology), PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), PE 0602772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology), PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology), PE 0603008A (Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology), and PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with 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 performed by the Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ; Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), Edgewood, MD; and the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Center (SMDC), Huntsville, AL.
