Ground Attack Weapons Fuze Development

Abstract

The Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF) is an advanced system designed to provide fuzing and void sensing functions for a weapon to penetrate and destroy hardened targets protected by multiple layers of soil and/or reinforced concrete. The HTVS Fuze shall also provide in-flight cockpit programmability, safing and arming, multi-function (time delay and void sensing) and multi-delay arming. FY 2012 and FY 2013 funding includes follow-on risk reduction and Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) efforts to the the Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) previously funded in PE 0604602F, Armament Ordnance Development for Research, Development, Test & Engineering (RDT&E). This Program Element was created to include the whole spectrum of fuze development and is positioned in Budget Activity 4 - Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment. Procurement of the HTVSF is funded in PE 0208030F, WRM Ammunition, in Procurement of Ammunition, Air Force (PAAF).
