Armament/Ordnance Development
Abstract
The Armament Ordnance Development program provides for the initial and continuing development of weapons, munitions, and munitions equipment for aircraft integration, support, and operational use. This program also provides for the development and integration of advanced position, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities (i.e. GPS, non-GPS, optical, passive, active, etc.). This program develops, characterizes, and improves current, future, and legacy munitions, ammunitions, and subsystems. 653133: The Bombs & Fuzes project improves conventional weapons/munitions (kinetic and non-kinetic), fuzes, and height-of-burst sensors (HOBS), and develops and integrates complementary position, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities (i.e. GPS, non-GPS, optical, passive, active, etc.). This project also provides an opportunity to quickly insert emerging technologies into existing and developing aircraft munitions and fuzes. Bombs & Fuzes provides research, development, and testing of conventional warheads, fuzing, HOBS modifications, and anti-personnel anti-materiel (APAM) weapons to improve lethality against area, mobile, hard and deeply buried, and fixed targets. This project provides for the development and testing necessary to provide a suitable manufacturing base of conventional warheads, fuzes, HOBS, and munitions materiel handling equipment (MMHE). In FY2019, Joint Air-to-Ground Missile for Fixed Wing (JAGM-F) was a new start. 655361: The Stores-Aircraft Interface project conducts stores-aircraft interface upgrades and standards development to include the Universal Armament Interface (UAI). UAI is an Air Force initiative to develop standardized software interfaces in aircraft weapons and mission planning. The savings realized from this effort is on average 6 years of schedule and $22M per aircraft/weapon combination. This is accomplished by enabling integration of weapons independent of aircraft Operational Flight Programs (OFP) cycles. UAI is currently implemented on the F-15E, F-16 Block 40/50 and European Participating Air Forces (EPAF) F-16 aircraft, Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) I and II, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), Laser JDAM, Joint Air-to-Surface Stand-off Missile (JASSM), and Precision Guided Munitions Planning Software (PGMPS). Planned implementation include Joint Strike Fighter (JSF/F-35), B-21, MQ-9, JASSM-Extended Range (JASSM-ER), F/A-18, Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile - Extended Range (AARGM-ER), Combat Weapons Delivery Software (CWDS), SPEAR3, Joint Strike Missile (JSM), and the Turkish Stand Off Missile - Joint (SOM-J). The UAI program office is responsible for development and enhancement of the standard, support to coalition/allied/joint interoperability efforts for weapons-platform interface, provision of certification tools, and implementation support to aircraft and weapons. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Armament/Ordnance Development weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. 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.
