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: guidance, navigation, and controls; target acquisition systems; multi-spectral seekers; high-fidelity simulations; sustainment; aerodynamics and structures; launch systems, fire control technologies; payloads; and 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. This project supports the Lethality and C3I portfolios. 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 science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Huntsville, AL.
