Joint Fuze
Abstract
The AF portion of a joint AF-US Navy (USN)-United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defense (MoD) project to evaluate/develop new arming and fuzing technologies and components (to include mature modern safety, security, and use control technologies) for use on ballistic missile warheads. Efforts will assess functional requirements, interfaces, environmental requirements, logistics/CONOPs constraints, and technologies/capabilities relating to arming, fuzing, and firing systems (AF&F) for future Air Force, Navy, and UK reentry systems. The primary goal is the development of a joint arming, fuzing, and firing system for application to the Air Force Mk12A, Mk21, the Navy Mk5, and a UK reentry system, and a common high-surety warhead for the Mk12A/W78 and Mk5/W88.
