Ground Attack Weapons Fuze Development

Abstract

This program was created to include the whole spectrum of general purpose and specialized fuze development, resulting in commodity fuzes for use with air-to-ground weapons. 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 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.
