BLU-134/B Improved Lethality Warhead (ILW), Next Generation Area Attack Weapon Inc I
Abstract
This Next Generation Area Attack Weapon (NGAAW Inc I), formerly known as Improved Lethality (IL), continues and expands development planning and legacy warhead efforts to improve lethality against area targets, to include anti-personnel anti-material (APAM) targets. This effort studies, designs, develops and tests warhead and fuzing modifications which improve lethality against APAM while meeting current DoD policy on cluster munitions and unintended harm to civilians. These improvements may be synergistic with maintaining a suitable manufacturing base. This effort was a new start in Project 653133, Bombs & Fuzes, in FY15.
