Land Attack Tech

Abstract

The Advanced Minor Caliber Gun will support non-recurring engineering, component integration, and testing efforts required for capability upgrades to the MK38 Mod 2, a minor caliber gun weapon system. Project 3370 Railgun is not a new Start. Hyper Velocity Projectile was budgeted under the railgun program element and project. The funding has been realigned to Land Attack Tech and the project title will be renamed in future submissions. Funding for the Hyper Velocity Projectile (HVP) has been realigned from PE 0603925N (Directed Energy and Electric Weapon Systems) to PE 0603795N (Land Attack Tech) under the, currently shared with Railgun, PRJ code 3370. Efforts within this budget fund Phase 1 of HVP development will implement technologies increasing effective range and lethality of Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) and integration with the 5'/62 Mk 45 MOD 4 Gun and Mk 160 Gun Component System.
