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. 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 3rd 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 FY 12-Quantity 26 , FY13-Quantity 3, FY14-Quantity 3
