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 legacy penetrator weapons to destroy hardened targets protected by multiple layers of soil and/or reinforced concrete. The HTVSF will also provide in-flight cockpit programmability, safing and arming, multi-function (time delay and void sensing) and multi-delay arming. Program Element funding currently supports the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) effort for HTVSF. This Program Element was created to include the whole spectrum of fuze development. This program is 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.
