Conventional Fuzed Warfare Package
Abstract
This program provides for orderly planning, timely maturation, and effective transition of Navy 6.2 and 6.3A investments in ordnance technology to missile/weapon systems end item System Development and Demonstration (SD&D) phase development. It is the only Navy 6.3B RDT&E program that addresses improvements in warhead and fuze technology. It focuses on increasing effectiveness against current and emerging threats and is responsive to all mission areas -- anti-air, strike, defense suppression, theater defense, and ship defense. On-going projects make advanced fuze and warhead technology available to and reduce the time and risk for specific system development programs by performing three important functions: (1) identify technology advances with the most potential to improve generic warhead and fuze safety, reliability, and effectiveness, e.g. development and incorporation of Software Guidance Integrated Fuzing - S/W GIF: (2) mature the most promising technologies with a goal of achieving Technology Readiness Level 6, or preferably TRL 7, and (3) transition mature technology to specific cruise missile, surface-to-air missile, and land attack weapons system development programs. The program supports the full spectrum of missile advanced development and technology improvements and in future years will continue to provide the vehicle to address emergent requirements by transitioning mature development efforts into weapon systems with minimal technical and financial risk.
