Weapons and Munitions - Eng Dev
Abstract
This program element funds multiple efforts for engineering development of weapons and munitions systems. Project 613: Accelerated Precision Mortar Initiative (APMI), XM395 is a GPS guided 120mm mortar cartridge that will be compatible with all Army 120mm mortar systems in Afghanistan. The requirement for precision mortar capability resulted from an urgent operational need for highly transportable, all weather, rapidly responsive, precise, indirect fires to support widely dispersed combat outposts and operations at the lowest tactical echelons to meet an Operational Needs Statement (ONS) from Afghanistan. APMI will provide a precision 120mm mortar capability that has accuracy within 10 meter Circular Error Probable (CEP). Mortar Anti-Personnel Anti-Materiel (MAPAM), XM1061 is a 60mm enhanced fragmentation mortar program that provides 81mm effectiveness in a 60mm configuration. FY 2010 Congressional funds provide support for analysis of XM1143 81mm MAPAM and finalizing the design, testing, and qualification of XM1061. The program is in the final stages of development and Type Classification will commence in March 2011. Project AS5: FY10 funds Lightweight Multi-Functional Material Technology (LMFMT), a materials development program for ammunition containers. It includes the use of advanced composite and non-composite materials in developing the design of mortar containers and barrier applications. The materials development program investigates potential applications in other areas that would require multifunctional capability. Project S23: The Surface Launched Advanced Medium Range Air-To-Air Missile (SLAMRAAM), is the initial kinetic energy component of Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD), an Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Future Force system. SLAMRAAM's force protection mission is to engage the low-altitude aerial threats out to 18km. Project S36: This program funds engineering development of precision guidance systems applicable to Indirect Fire artillery weapon systems. This includes the Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) which is a Global Positioning Guidance Kit with fuzing functions. PGK will improve the accuracy of existing artillery ammunition by correcting the trajectory of projectiles to their designated target location. Precision guidance systems will effectively reduce target delivery error reducing the number of rounds required to conduct a fire mission. This capability will benefit existing indirect fire systems.
