Enabling Fuze Advanced Technology

Abstract

This program will develop and demonstrate advanced fuze technologies needed to develop weapons that address Joint priority capability areas highlighted by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) Technology-Focused Modernization and Service Science and Technology (S&T) priorities including High Speed Weapons, Collaborative/Networked Munitions, Counter Unmanned Aerial System (c-UAS) Air Defense and Scalable Lethality. This effort will take promising integrated technologies to maturity and demonstrate capability utilizing weapon hardware derived from priority munitions capabilities and technologies. Demonstrated mature fuze technology will be transitioned, thereby decreasing acquisition 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 high speed 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.
