Enhanced Munitions Advanced Technology

Abstract

Enhanced Munitions Advanced Technology focuses on the following key areas: - High Performance Rocket Propulsion (HPP) - focuses on the development of technologies to improve the range and speed of HPP systems, rocket motors with Ammonium Perchlorate and with or without a metal fuel, for rockets and missiles launched from air, ground, and sea platforms. - Minimum Signature Rocket Propulsion (MSP) - focuses on the development and demonstration of technologies to improve MS rocket propellant formulations and ingredients, including synthesis, characterization and scale-up; case and packaging design; active and passive venting techniques; rocket motor case design; ignition systems; and thrust mitigation techniques. - Area Effects Warheads (AEW) focuses on the development and demonstration of technologies that when applied enhance the lethality of Area Effects munitions. - Hard Target Effects Warheads (HTEW) - focuses on the development of explosive ingredients, explosives, and warhead technologies for improving performance of HTEW munitions. - Gun Propulsion (GP) - focuses on the development and demonstration of technologies in the area of GP systems. The development and demonstration of gun propulsion technologies, when applied to munition systems, will improve the range and/or time to target of all gun launched munitions to include small/medium caliber, tank/mortar and large caliber propulsion systems.
