Abstract

The Hyper Velocity Projectile Block (BLK) 0 will double the range of the current 5-inch conventional ammunition to support multi-mission operational requirements for Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), and Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) missions. This project executes pre Milestone B (MS B) activities and begins preparations for the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development Phase planned for FY 2019. This includes development of the system specification and interfaces, and support Hyper Velocity Projectile risk reduction efforts required to transition to Milestone B (MS B). The Hyper Velocity Projectile project was previously funded under the PE 0603925N / Directed Energy and Electronic Weapon Systems.
