Railgun
Abstract
The Hyper Velocity Projectile (HVP) effort will double the range of the current 5-inch Mk 45 MOD 4 Gun, meeting Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) operational requirements for support of combat troops ashore. This project executes pre MS-B activities for Engineering and Manufacturing Development Phase. Phase 1 of HVP development will implement technologies increasing effective range and lethality of Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) and integration with the 5"/62 Mk 45 MOD 4 Gun and Mk 160 Gun Computer System. Phase 1 includes airframe and sabot development to improve weight and volume allocations, definition of government controlled sub-section interfaces, and the development of an High Explosive (HE) warhead. Phases 2-3 are oriented at expansion of the capabilities of HVP beyond NSFS currently addressed in this Budget Item. The Hyper Velocity Projectile project was previously funded under the PE 0603925N / Directed Energy and Electronic Weapon Systems
