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 to include Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) and the weaponization of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). 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 Technology Development and Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phases of the FMU-164 Bomb Fuze program are intended to upgrade and expand the capabilities of the Navy's bomb fuze inventory. The FMU-164 is the next generation bomb fuze used with general purpose and guided bombs. The FMU-164 will provide a capability upgrade to the existing FMU-139 and FMU-143 Bomb Fuzes. The capability upgrades include in-flight cockpit selectability via a Serial Data Interface (SDI) and increased reliability. Software updates including H8, H10, H6.1, and 25X Operational Flight Program integration testing. HTVSF is an FY08 Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) sponsored by United States Strategic Command in coordination with the United States Air Force and United States Navy. The JCTD was a 27 month risk reduction program that was awarded to two Contractors in 3rd QTR FY08 to perform design, test, and manufacturing activities leading to a down-select to a single Contractor for EMD and production. The JCTD was completed in 3th QTR FY10 and the EMD contract is scheduled to be awarded to a single Contractor in 2nd QTR FY11. HTVSF is designed to prosecute harder, deeper, and more complex targets that exceeded design parameters of existing conventional kinetic strike capabilities. HTVSF will be used only with BLU-109 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM). Note: First test article quantity for FMU-164 includes FY13-Quantity 6 First test article quantity for HTVSF includes FY11-Quantity 30, FY 12-Quantity 26 , FY13-Quantity 3, FY14-Quantity 3
