Armament/Ordnance Development

Abstract

The Armament/Ordnance Development program provides for initial and continuing development of weapons/munitions (kinetic and non-kinetic) and munitions equipment for support and operational use. This program develops and improves the following weapons and weapons subsystems: bombs, bomb fuzes (to include the FMU-152 and FMU-139 general purpose, commodity fuzes), BLU-109 and BLU-113 legacy penetrator advancement demonstrations, insensitive munitions (IM) characteristics, aircraft ammunition, stores-aircraft interface upgrades to include the Universal Armament Interface (UAI), munitions materiel handling equipment (MMHE), munitions containers, and other weapon subsystems. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production. The FY2016 funding request was reduced for under execution by $1.641 million to account for the availability of prior exectution balances.
