Weapons and Munitions - Eng Dev

Abstract

PE 0604802A Weapons and Munitions - Eng Dev funds multiple efforts for the engineering development of weapons and munitions systems. Project 613, Mortar Systems: This Project supports Mortar System & Fire Control Modernization (MS&FCM) activities. The Mortar System and Fire Control Modernization Project funds engineering development and demonstration of new technologies that will support modernized mortar weapon and mortar fire control systems. This includes capabilities that provide commonality between current and future weapon and fire control systems to help mitigate technology shortfalls and critical capability gaps. Future mortar systems that address these gaps include (but are not limited to) remote mortar turrets for mounted mortar systems, high-pressure capable cannons/components, and composite/lightweight components for dismounted systems. Mortar Fire Control Systems capabilities include lightweight inertial measurement and navigation (IMU/INU) units for weapon pointing, simplified Ethernet/wireless-based digital communications interfaces, development of updated fire control software to enable commonality, integration with existing/future platform interfaces, and support for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)/modified commercial off-the-shelf (MCOTS) fire control components. FY 2021 funding will support development and prototyping of new mortar weapon system and mortar fire control system technologies. Project BY1, Next Generation Combat Vehicle Ammunition: 50x228 millimeter (mm) family of ammunition is a critical technology development in response to the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) Abbreviated Capability Development Document for weapon qualification, platform integration, and fielding of the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle primary weapon system (XM913). This effort includes the development of three capabilities: The XM1202 Target Practice with Trace; the XM1203 Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Trace; and the XM1204 High Explosive Airburst with Trace. The training cartridge will allow the Warfighter to train in a cost effective manner and the tactical cartridges will provide enhanced lethality at increased ranges when engaging personnel threats in the open, defilade, and under the cover of urban structures, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) teams, and current and projected future peer armored materiel threats. This effort is operating under Middle Tier Acquisition authority for rapid prototyping to qualify the three munitions in order to support the NGCV Cross Functional Team (CFT) timeline for First Unit Equipped (FUE). FY 2021 funding will support Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) for all cartridges. Project EC4, Non-Standard Simulator Munitions: This Project will standardize various pyrotechnics that simulate battlefield effects. The Army's Combat Training Centers (CTCs) are currently using non-standard munitions to replicate both conventional and asymmetric warfare battlefield effects. These modified commercial-off-the-shelf products have not been type classified or material released and are not safe or sustainable for use by Soldiers. This effort will develop and demonstrate various pyrotechnics/ simulators to replicate both conventional and asymmetric warfare battlefield affects such as: Black smoke signature (burning vehicles, buildings, and equipment); Yellow smoke signature (chemical, biological or nuclear effects); Macro pyrotechnics to simulate hostile fire and small Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) during mounted operations in urban terrain; Micro pyrotechnics to simulate indoor hostile fire and IED effects that are capable of being integrated into existing facilities; Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) simulators to replicate the flight of a Rocket Propelled Grenade; High Order Blast Effect (HiOBE) used to replicate a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED), building explosions, and other significant explosive events; Artillery airburst simulator to replicate indirect fire; simulator to replicate a STINGER firing; Tracer Fire-back simulator to replicate enemy small arms fire and anti-aircraft fire. Standardization will reduce training costs, eliminate redundancies between systems and mitigate environmental concerns and safety risks associated with realistic scenario based training. FY 2021 funding will support Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) for Artillery Airburst and Stinger, Black Smoke, Yellow Smoke, and Micro/Macro pyrotechnics. Project ED7, Advanced Multipurpose (AMP) Cartridge: This Project supports the XM1147 Advanced Multi Purpose (AMP) program, a direct fire line of sight 120mm large caliber munition under development for the Abrams Main Battle Tank. AMP has three modes of operation including point detonate, point detonate delay, and airburst. AMP is the materiel solution for breaching double reinforced concrete walls and defeating ATGM teams from 50m to 2000m threshold and 50m to 4500m objective, a validated gap that cannot currently be met with existing stockpiled ammunition. In addition to added capability, AMP will also consolidate the capabilities of four existing stockpiled 120mm munitions, thereby addressing the users' battlecarry dilemma by allowing them to load a single munition that is capable of defeating multiple targets including ATGM teams, reinforced walls, personnel, light armor, bunkers, and obstacles. The full performance of the AMP is obtained with an Abrams equipped Ammunition Data Link breech modification, the same required by the 120mm M829A4 cartridge that achieved Milestone C in FY 2014 and achieved Full Materiel Release in FY 2015. There is no funding requested in FY 2021. Project EL9, Ammunition Logistics Prototyping: The Ammunition Logistics Prototyping Project supports the future force by improving the distribution, management, reliability and survivability of ammunition through the advanced development, integration, and demonstration of logistics system enablers. These enablers will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ammunition operations, to include retrograde, while reducing the logistics footprint on the battlefield. Technology areas addressed include handling, distribution, and management (strategic and tactical), prognostics, diagnostics, and asset visibility, explosives safety, and adaptive and environmentally friendly packaging and palletization. The efficient deployment and sustainment of reliable ammunition is vital to success on the battlefield. This Project enhances the operational effectiveness of the ammunition logistics system to ensure the distribution of reliable ammunition to the warfighter. FY 2021 funding will be used to continue integrating the munitions health monitoring system with additional ammunition items, improve health monitoring survivability, and conduct qualification tests and continue to integrate passive time/temperature exposure sensors with additional ammunition items and conduct qualification testing. Project EP2, Shoulder-Launched Munitions: The Individual Assault Munition (IAM) will be a lightweight Shoulder Launched Munition (SLM) capability for combat units at the individual Soldier level. As an improvement over existing Shoulder Launched Munitions, the solution will fit within the Soldier Lethality Modernization Priority, by reducing Soldier load, while providing tactical innovation capable of extending overmatch against near-peer adversaries in a joint, multi-domain, high-intensity conflict. The IAM will allow Soldiers to conduct Urban Operations with an ability to defeat targets in an open space or in defilade at extended ranges. It will also allow Soldiers to defeat adversaries protected by field expedient structures and light armored vehicles. This solution will be effective day or night with the ability to safely engage targets from within enclosures using single hearing protection, increasing Soldier survivability. This solution will combine the capabilities of the existing Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM) and the AT4 Confined Space - Reduced Sensitivity (AT4CS-RS), which will allow for reduced Soldier load and training complexity, as well as reducing the logistics burden for Light Infantry, Combat Engineers, and Special Operations Forces. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding will provide the Army the opportunity to evaluate various developmental munitions to achieve emerging increased capability as an Individual Assault Munition. The Individual Assault Munition Capabilities Development Document (CDD) was approved on 11 March 2016. FY 2021 funding will support the developmental shoulder-launched munition build and hardware testing to ensure the soldier has increased capabilities to engage targets at close and extended ranges, in the open, in defilade, behind field expedient structures. Project EP3, Reduced Range Ammunition - Small Caliber: The small caliber Reduced Range Ammunition (RRA) Project is a critical technology development in response to the 7.62 millimeter (mm) and .50 caliber Capabilities Development Documents (CDD). The overall objective of RRA is to provide training ammunition suitable for use on military installations with Surface Danger Zone (SDZ) restrictions. The relatively long maximum range of the 7.62mm and .50 caliber service ammunition poses challenges on training ranges in range restricted areas. RRA will mitigate a training gap on installations by providing a materiel solution that meets training needs while shortening and condensing the SDZ. This will allow soldiers to train with 7.62mm and .50 caliber weapons on restricted ranges. The RRA cartridge design will be compatible with all Army 7.62mm and .50 caliber weapons, but specifically optimized to work in the M240 and M2 Machine Guns. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding supports continuing Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts, performing a Technical Readiness Review (TRR), conducting Production Qualification Testing (PQT), and performing activities to prepare for ammunition production transition to the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) on the 7.62mm variant. FY 2021 also includes continuing the EMD effort, conducting a Critical Design Review (CDR), performing a User Evaluation / Soldier Touch Point (STP), and performing PQT on the 50 caliber variant. FY 2021 includes continuing activities to evaluate RRA ammunition prototypes and designs for the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) systems. Project EP4, One-Way Luminescence for Small Caliber Ammo: The One Way Luminescence (OWL) project is a critical technology development in response to the 7.62 millimeter (mm) and 5.56mm Families of Ammunition Capabilities Development Documents (CDD) and .50 Caliber Munitions CDD. Current small caliber ammunition tracer rounds are a pyrotechnic tracer mix which allows enemy forces to see the trace round and track its trajectory back to the shooter. The OWL projects objective is to develop and field a full tracer round, replace the current pyrotechnic cartridges with trace cartridges that are only visible to the shooter and soldiers in close proximity, increasing soldier survivability, and increasing lethality by incorporating Enhanced Performance Round (EPR) technology into the new tracer ammunition. 7.62mm and 5.56mm are the immediate focus; later followed by .50 Caliber cartridges and Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) ammunition. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding will support continuing Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts, performing Production Qualification Testing (PQT), performing Safety Release Tests, conducting Live-Fire Testing and Evaluation (LFT&E), conducting a Critical Design Review (CDR), conducting a Limited User Evaluation (LUE), and performing preparation activities for manufacturing at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) for the 7.62mm variant. FY 2021 funding will also support EMD efforts, Design Verification Tests (DVT), and preparation for the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the 5.56mm variant. FY 2021 also supports concept development/evaluation of OWL tracer solutions for .50 Caliber weapons and NGSW. Project EP5, Adv Armor-Piercing (ADVAP) for Small Caliber Ammo: This Project supports both the Advanced Armor-Piercing ammunition and the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) Family of Ammunition. - Advanced Armor-Piercing (ADVAP): Advanced Armor-Piercing (ADVAP) project is a critical technology development in response to the 7.62 millimeter (mm) and 5.56mm Family of Ammunition Capabilities Development Documents (CDD).

A non-developmental airburst munition will be Urgent Materiel Released (UMR) as an interim solution prior to HEAB. The objective is to enhance the operational effectiveness and lethality of the Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV), Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV), and any Army Fighting Vehicles that are equipped with a 30x173mm weapon system. The tactical AP cartridge will provide an organic direct fire capability to support infantry at a greater range and will improve lethality when engaging light-to-medium armored vehicles. The HEAB cartridge will provide the Warfighter with increased lethality against troops in the open, counter defilade, ATGM teams, and troops in urban structures. The training cartridges will be ballistically matched to the tactical cartridges, allowing the Warfighter to train in a cost effective manner. This Project will leverage earlier efforts in support of the Stryker Operational Needs Statement (ONS) for Increased Lethality for the 2nd Calvary Regiment (2CR), United States Army Europe (USAREUR) (HQDA ONS 15-20590). FY 2021 funding will support Design Engineering Testing and Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) prototype development . Project FJ4, Cannon-Deliverd Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM): The C-DAEM Project will provide United States (U.S.) ground forces with the capability to engage area personnel through armored targets, while denying threat forces full operational freedom within the targeted area. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) was completed in January 2018 to inform Army acquisition and investment decisions regarding replacement of the current stockpile of 155mm Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM) with Department of Defense (DoD) policy compliant munitions and address anti-armor and extended range capability requirements. The Army validated two materiel solutions for C-DAEM to be pursued in parallel. C-DAEM Armor (Increment 1) will destroy moved and moving infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, and tanks. C-DAEM DPICM Replacement (Increment 2) will destroy personnel to light-skinned vehicles. FY 2020 funding will support qualification of C-DAEM DPICM Replacement solution(s) for safety, performance, and DoD policy compliance verification testing to support the Army's modernization priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Project FL4, Small Caliber Ammo for Next Gen Squad Weapons: The Small Caliber Ammo for Next Gen Squad Weapons project is a critical technology development in response to the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team (SL CFT) Initial Capability Document (ICD) for the ammunition required to support the rapid prototyping, development, and fielding of the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) under the Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) authority for rapid prototyping/rapid fielding. The objective is to develop and Full Materiel Release (FMR) the new ammunition in parallel with the NGSW rifle and automatic rifle. The NGSW ammunition is split into two initial projectile variants, the General Purpose (GP) and the Special Purpose (SP). Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding supports continuing rapid prototyping/development of the GP projectile, building prototypes and delivering prototypes to the weapon system contractors for integration into the weapon system development, conducting prototype testing and engineering testing. FY 2021 also supports continuing rapid prototyping for the SP projectile, conducting a Critical Design Review (CDR), conducting prototype testing and engineering testing. FY 2021 supports development of prototype solutions for the Reduced Range Ammunition (RRA) variant; to include building and evaluating RRA concepts/designs, and conducting a Preliminary Design Review (PDR). FY 2021 also includes development efforts to evaluate competing concepts/solutions for the tracer ammunition variant required for the NGSW; including maturing/refining tracer ammunition designs and performing engineering tests. FY 2021 supports initial activities to evaluate potential solutions/prototypes and concepts to satisfy follow-on NGSW ammunition requirements. Follow-on NGSW ammunition types includes: Blank and Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK) training ammunition. Development efforts on the follow-on NGSW ammunition variants will continue into FY 2022. This is a priority of the Secretary's Close Combat Lethality Task Force. Funding for this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Project S36, Precision Guidance Kit: The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) M1156 is a course correcting fuze that provides precision accuracy and efficiency for current and future 155mm High Explosive (HE) projectiles by eliminating a portion of the inherent errors associated with ballistic firing solutions, which effectively reduces the number of projectiles required to execute fire missions. PGK utilizes a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and internal Guidance and Navigation Computer to accomplish its mission with point detonating and height of burst fuzing functions. The PGK M1156E1 development effort, Long Range-PGK (LR-PGK), will qualify state of the art technologies for operation in GPS degraded environments and compatibility with Army Modernization objectives under the Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) CFT's new long range cannon, ERCA. The ERCA and its new long range projectiles require the LR-PGK to meet requirements, and will be fielded during the PGK Life Cycle. LR-PGK supports the Army's modernization priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy and future 155mm projectiles and M777 Long Range Cannon (LRC) initiatives. FY 2021 funding supports the award of a follow-on EMD contract for system design and prototype development for LR-PGK. Project XT2, 40mm Door Breach: The 40mm Low Velocity (LV) Door Breach (DB), XM1167, cartridge allows the grenadier to conduct a ballistic breach of an existing door to create an entry point into a building or other structure. This capability is critical during Urban Operations, while having stand-off ability to conduct ballistic breach at ranges up to 50 meters away, with a single-shot, and without pause between actual breach and entry of initial force. The 40mm Door Breach cartridge will provide the small unit with the capability to conduct efficient breaching operations; allowing the Warfighter to create an entry point into a structure for an assault element to enter and begin clearing operations, one of the most difficult types of operations that Soldiers may face in an urban environment. The 40mm Door Breach cartridge will reduce collateral damage and friendly casualties associated with breaching operations. The deployment of 40mm Door Breach cartridges will enable the small unit to gain and maintain a tactical advantage through efficiency of combat power and momentum. FY 2021 will consist of Developmental Testing and Evaluation (DT&E) for the purpose of qualifying the Door Breach cartridge design.
