Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology

Abstract

This Program Element (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 covering Strategic, Operational and Tactical Lines of Effort. 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. Research in this Program Element (PE) complements PE 0602147A Long Range Precision Fires Technology. This PE is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) Modernization Priority. The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
