Joint DOD/DOE Munitions Technology Development

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD)/Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Munitions Technology Development Program (JMP) enables military superiority by setting and driving the critical path for cutting-edge capability-driven munitions science and technology (S&T) to equip the Joint Force for the future fight. The JMP portfolio comprises essential cross-cutting and foundational S&T investments that enable Future Force operational capabilities in the near, mid, and far term. In setting the technical direction for the DoD, the Joint DoD/DOE Munitions Program performs S&T to advance the state of the art for non-nuclear munitions technology in the focus areas of decision tools, delivery, munition controls, lethal effects, and readiness. A Memorandum of Understanding signed in 1985 by the DoD and DOE provides the basis for the cooperative effort. Through this interdepartmental cooperation and joint investment (DOE matches the DoD’s investment at 1:1), DoD leverages the DOE’s substantial investments in intellectual capital and highly specialized skills, advanced scientific equipment and facilities, and computational tools not available within the DoD, bolstering good stewardship of taxpayer dollars. The portfolio is monitored by a panel of Tri-Service Senior Executive Service-nominated subject matter experts who conduct rigorous technical and programmatic review to prioritize essential investments. The technology, resources, and capabilities return for DoD in this program is estimated at two to three times its investment.
