Enabling Fuze Technology
Abstract
This RDT&E effort will demonstrate fuze enabling technologies needed to develop weapons that address Joint priority capability areas including ones highlighted by OSD R&E Technology-Focused Modernization and Service S&T priorities such as Hypersonics, Long Range Precision Fires, Air Defense and Scalable Lethality. This effort will develop enabling technologies at the laboratory scale and transition them into Budget Activity (BA) 6.3 demonstration programs for weapons where priority capabilities and technology needs have been identified and validated by the Program Executive Officers (PEOs) and the Heads of the Service Science and Technology (S&T) communities. Mature BA 6.2 fuze technologies will be transitioned, thereby decreasing their program costs and schedule risk and facilitating spin-offs to other munitions within their portfolios. The Joint Fuze Technology Program (JFTP) investments are focused on capability areas that driven by next generation hypersonic and advanced weapons. The four capability areas are: 1) Extreme Environment Survivable Fuzing, 2) Tailorable Effects Fuzing and Warhead Initiation, 3) High Reliability Safe and Arm Technology, and 4) Target Detection and Burst Point Control.
