Fuze Development Program
Abstract
The Fuze Development Program provides for the development of alternative and innovative fuze system and fuze sensor technologies to improve the reliability, capability and production characteristics of fuze products. This program also provides for emerging technology insertion to improve the performance and maintainability characteristics of current and future fuze and fuze sensor technologies. On April 25, 2011, the decision to cancel the FMU-164/B Bomb Fuze program was made based upon the Navy's holistic analysis of current bomb fuzing systems and budgetary concerns versus the program's return on investment. Required funding is being retained to execute an orderly program cancellation and to support ongoing product improvement efforts for existing fuze configurations. Current software updates including H8, H10, H6.1, and 25X Operational Flight Program integration testing will continue to support integration of product improvements for existing fuze configurations. The Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (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 Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) and production. The JCTD was completed in 3th QTR FY10 and the EMD contract was 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. Note: First test article quantity for HTVSF includes FY11-Quantity 30, FY 12-Quantity 26 , FY13-Quantity 3, FY14-Quantity 3
