Fuze Development Program
Abstract
The Precision Strike Weapons Development program provides for initial and continuing development of strike weapons consisting of armament, munitions, and weapon subsystems to allow for the horizontal integration among current and future weapon system capabilities. This program will also provide the Navy with the opportunity to improve upon the accuracy, lethality, interoperability, and overall effectiveness of current and future precision strike weapons. The current funding profile provides funding for the FMU-164/Bomb Fuze and the Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF) . The Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of the FMU-164/B Bomb Fuze is intended to upgrade and expand the capabilities of the Navy's bomb fuze inventory. The FMU-164/B Bomb Fuze provides the Warfighter with next-generation bomb fuze capability including a Serial Data Interface (SDI), which provides additional in-flight cockpit selectable fuze arm/functional delay times and provides increased reliability. The FMU-164/B is used to initiate General Purpose (GP), penetrator, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), and Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) weapons. The FMU-164/B will reduce the Navy fuze footprint by combining capabilities of the existing FMU-139C/B an FMU-143 fuze. The HTVSF meets a capability gap requirement for harder, deeper and more complex targets. The HTVSF will provide in-flight cockpit reprogramming with fuze time delay options and void sensing providing aircrew the ability to detonate penetrating bombs at various levels within multi-story complex target facilities. The HTVSF will be used only with BLU-109 JDAMs. Note: First article quantity includes FMU-164/B (FY11-Quantity 512 & FY12-Quantity 1130) and Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (FY11-Quantity 5 & FY 12- Quantity 40)
