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 logistical burden of precision munitions. This Project supports the Army Science and Technology Lethality and Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) portfolios. Major products of this Project transition to PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
