Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology
Abstract
This PE matures weapons and munitions components/subsystems and demonstrates lethal weapons systems with potential to increase force application and force protection capabilities across the spectrum of operations. Project 232 focuses on affordable delivery of scalable effects for kinetic weapons and munitions including: artillery, mortars, medium caliber, tank fired, Soldier weapons and shoulder fired weapons. Project L96 matures and integrates critical high energy laser subsystems into mobile demonstrators to explore and validate system performance in relevant environments. Project L97 demonstrates performance of advanced obscurants and delivery of mechanisms and conducts forensic analysis of explosives and hazardous materials to enable detection. 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 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology), and PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology). Beginning in FY20, work in this PE is related to and fully coordinated with PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology), PE 0603119A (Ground Advanced Technology), 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology), 0603464A (Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology), 0603465A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology), and PE 0603466A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. The work in this PE is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC) and the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT).
