Enabling Fuze Advanced Technology

Abstract

This program will demonstrate advanced fuze technologies needed to develop weapons that address Joint priority capability areas including ones highlighted by OUSD(R&E) Technology-Focused Modernization and Service Science and Technology (S&T) priorities including Hypersonics, Long Range Precision Fires, Counter UAS Air Defense and Scalable Lethality. This effort will take promising integrated technologies to maturity and demonstrate the maturity utilizing weapon hardware derived from priority capabilities and technology needs identified and validated by the Program Executive Officers (PEOs) and the Heads of the Service S&T communities. Demonstrate mature fuze technology will be transitioned, thereby decreasing their program costs and schedule risk and facilitating spin-offs to other munitions within their portfolios. Under the Joint Fuze Technology Program (JFTP), investments are focused on specific capability areas that have been identified by Department strategic guidance and are focused on capability areas that are driven by next generation hypersonic and advanced weapons. The four capability areas are: 1) Extreme Environment Survivable Fuzing, 2) Tailorable Effects Fuzing and Warhead Initiation, 3) High Reliability Safe and Arm Technology, and 4) Target Detection and Burst Point Control.
