Aviation Rocket System Product Improvement and Development
Abstract
The Aviation Rockets and Small Guided Munitions Product Improvement and Development line funds the development, integration and test of current and future munitions and launchers, and their interface to platforms. Additionally, it will fund a range of improvement initiatives to modernize the Hydra-70 2.75 Inch rocket and launcher system. The current Hydra-70 2.75 inch rocket system requires performance improvements to comply with 1) US Code - Title 10, Chapter 141, Section 2389 "Ensuring Safety regarding Insensitive Munitions", 2) Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 5000.1, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Instruction 3170.01C, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (OUSD (AT&L)) Memorandum of January 26, 1999, "Exemption for Existing Inventory Items to Insensitive Munitions (IM) Requirements", 3) validated Lightweight Precision Munition (LPM) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) 16-21556 and 15 Dec 2017 Directed Requirement, 4) signed Initial Capability Document (ICD) for Army Aviation Weapons, Sub systems and Munitions (AAWSSM), 5) Air Launched Effects (ALE) Initial Capability Refinement Document (ICRD) dated 21 October 2019, and 6) existing/emerging Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) G-3/5/7 and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) aviation weapon requirements for guided and unguided rocket systems. Improvements to existing rocket systems and munitions will include design, qualification and integration of precision guidance capability, increased lethality, improved target suppression, increased standoff range, reduced minimum engagement range, improved pre-launch constraints and munitions communications/programmability, increased stowed kills, increased product reliability, improved hardness against unplanned stimuli, reduced war fighter workload, and reduced environmental impact for both manned and unmanned applications.
