Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology

Abstract

This PE matures and demonstrates Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) technologies to destroy, neutralize, or suppress the enemy by cannon artillery and missile fire and enable integration of fire support assets into combined arms operations. Major Focus Areas for LRPF Science and Technology include: Missiles, Cannon Artillery, and Supporting LRPF Technologies. LRPF Missiles Advanced Development matures and demonstrates a broad range of Missile technologies to enhance Army integrated LRPF capabilities at extended range. Cannon Artillery Advanced Development matures and demonstrates critical technologies to increase range, precision, and both point and area effects for cannon artillery. Supporting LRPF Technologies Advanced Development matures and demonstrates a broad range of component technologies to address weapon cost drivers and enhance performance of future LRPF munitions and systems. Work in this PE complements PE 0602147A Long Range Precision Fires 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. Work is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
