MISSILE TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
This project designs, fabricates, and evaluates missile and rocket component technologies that support demonstration of affordable, lightweight, highly lethal missiles and rockets. Major areas of research include missile guidance components and subsystems; target acquisition systems; multi-spectral seekers; high-fidelity simulations; missile aerodynamics and structures; missile launch and fire control technologies; and missile propulsion including research to help solve the insensitive munitions requirements. A theme embedded throughout the efforts in this project is smaller, lighter, and cheaper (SLC) missile technology to reduce the cost and logistics burden of precision munitions. Major products of this PE transition to PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Huntsville, AL.
