Enabling Fuze Technology

Abstract

This RDT&E effort strategically develops fuze-enabling technologies needed to develop weapons that address Joint fight capability areas including ones highlighted by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) Munitions Science and Technology (S&T) Joint strategy and Technology-Focused Modernization such as High Speed Weapons, Networked Munitions, Air Defense and Scalable Lethality. This effort identifies and matures fuze enabling technologies at the laboratory scale and transitions them into Budget Activity (BA) 6.3 technology maturation and demonstration programs. The Joint Fuze Technology Program (JFTP) investments are focused on four fuze capability areas that reflect U.S. fuzing capability gaps: 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.
