Tank and Medium Caliber Ammunition
Abstract
A portion of this funding line is directly aligned to each Future Vertical Lift (FVL) and Assured Positioning, Navigation, & Timing (APNT) Army Modernization Priorities. The Tank and Medium Caliber Ammunition Program Element encompasses a comprehensive program to develop, rapidly transition to production, and field advanced weapons and munitions for small, medium and large caliber munitions, tank ammunition, mortar ammunition, cannon artillery ammunition, and close combat system items. These Projects will ensure continued battlefield overmatch and lethality of United States maneuver forces against the full range of modern battlefield threats. To achieve this, Tank and Medium Caliber Ammunition projects will identify and develop promising technologies through competitive development and streamlined acquisition procedures. Project CD8 - Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM) is an Army Weapon that will provide leap ahead lethal capability in the penetration and dis-integration phases of Joint All Domain Operations (JADO). The ability to interoperate and coordinate with other weapon systems and munitions at long ranges and adapt to changing threats is a core concept of the Army Aviation Weapons, Sub-Systems, and Munitions Initial Capability Document validated in July 2018. Primary target set for LRPM is Integrated Air Defense Systems. LRPM lethal capabilities are aligned with the Launched Effects (LE) family of systems. LRPM will provide Army Aviation Forces with a precise long range munition system to rapidly respond in a combat environment to improve the lethality and stand-off of Warfighters and aviation platforms in an Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) denied environment. Project EC3 - Ammunition Logistics Prototyping: This Project supports the future force by improving the distribution, management, reliability and survivability of ammunition through the advanced development, integration, and demonstration of logistics system enablers supporting the Design of Army 2040. These enablers will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ammunition operations, to include retrograde, while reducing the logistics footprint on the battlefield. Technology areas addressed include handling, distribution, and management (strategic and tactical), prognostics, diagnostics, and asset visibility, explosives safety, and autonomous friendly packaging and palletization. The efficient deployment and sustainment of reliable ammunition is vital to success on the battlefield. This Project enhances the operational effectiveness of the ammunition logistics system to ensure the distribution of reliable ammunition to the warfighter. Fiscal Year 2025 funding will be used to further mature munition health monitoring devices in accordance with the needs of the relevant PMs. Funding will be used to directly to support Contested Logistics, Long Range Precision Fire CFTs munition asset visibility and health monitoring requirements throughout the ammunition supply chain and resupply process. Specifically, the funding will be used to address improvements to the ammunition supply chain within the maneuver force. Project FA5 - The Assured Precision Weapons and Munitions (APWM): FA5 Project is focused on advanced risk mitigation, technology integration, prototyping, and product support to identify, evaluate, mature, test, and demonstrate various assured precision prototype technologies in Weapon and Munitions (W&M) components and subsystems within a complex System-of-Systems (SoS) environment. The APWM Project reinforces the National Defense Strategy's (NDS) major lines of effort through technology development and prototyping, which increases lethality and ensures future combat overmatch success of the Joint Force against peer/near-peer adversaries. This Project also aims to improve program performance and affordability for multiple W&M Programs of Record (PoRs) via Joint Lethality Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), Navigation Warfare (NavWar), and Army M-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinated efforts. The APWM Project directly supports the top Army Modernization Priorities via the Assured PNT (APNT) and Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) imperatives in support of the NDS and multiple Public Law related Congressional imperatives. Funding will support engagement by W&M PNT experts in the development, evaluation, and technology delivery activities of the US Space Force's (USSF) M-Code GPS, Army's PNT related programs, and APNT/Space Cross Functional Team (CFT) programs in support of LRPF and Counter Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) missions. Funding will also enable component and subsystem architecture input essential for Precision W&M operating in a NavWar SoS environment, Army M-Code GPS technology integration and evaluation, planning and evaluating next generation M-Code GPS to validate capability for future Joint precision munitions, and maturation of alternative PNT and NavWar related technologies and solutions to enable informed APNT related PoR milestone and Army cross-functional modernization decisions. Project FG1 - The Cannon Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM) Budget Activity Four (BA4) is a new start project in Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25). The XM1155 projectile, transitioning from Budget Activity Three (BA3) PE 0603464A / Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology Project BO8 Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Tech), will deliver lethality and range overmatch in 155mm artillery weapon systems at more than double the current range from legacy artillery cannons and will be compatible in future 155MM artillery systems in a Global Positioning System (GPS) degraded and denied environments. The XM1155 projectile, developed as part of an organic Long Range Precision Fires capability, will provide overmatching cannon artillery range capability at both Tactical and Operational Fires range by shaping the nature of the close fight through seeking moving and imprecisely located targets at extended ranges, will increase range capability of the current 39 caliber cannon fleet and will also be compatible with future 52 caliber and above artillery weapon systems. FY 2025 funding will support technology maturation and risk reduction of key system and subsystems, improvements in performance in difficult use cases, and integration of the tactical warhead and seeker culminating in a series of Design Verification Testing (DVT) to achieve Technology Readiness Level (TRL) six (6) maturity. Project XT5 - 30mm Anti-Personnel and Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS): Airburst capability is identified as a threshold Key System Attribute (KSA) in Apache Block 3 Capability Production Document (CPD) - approved 14 June 2017 and other cannon caliber Operational Needs Statements (ONS) and Capability Development Documents (CDD). The Anti-Personnel and Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) munition provides increased lethality through airburst effects against personnel, small boats, and small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) without requiring modification to the platform. Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 funds support developing performance specifications and contract preparation to begin development and testing.
