SMAW Follow-On

Abstract

The mission of the SMAW Mod 2 is to provide short-range assault fires in support of infantry forces attacking fortified positions and urban structures under all field and environmental conditions. This includes employment under Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) IV Level Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) conditions. The SMAW Mod 2 consists of a new SMAW launcher that will be physically and functionally compatible with all current SMAW ammunition variants. Additionally, work is being performed to develop new propellant technologies for an enhanced rocket motor. In FY15, Full Rate Production of the SMAW Mod 2 launcher will begin and work will continue on the Densified Propellant. In FY16, work will be continued on the further development and integration of Densified Propellant into the SMAW rocket motor in support of future fire from enclosure capability.
