AIRCRAFT WEAPONS
Abstract
This project develops, demonstrates and integrates manned and unmanned sensor and weaponization technologies such as advanced missiles, guns, fire controls, advanced target acquisition and pilotage sensors into Army aviation platforms. Efforts are directed toward reducing the integrated weight of weapons, increasing engagement ranges, providing selectable effects on a variety of threats, and enabling cost-effective integration across multiple aviation platforms. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Redstone Arsenal, AL and Fort Eustis, VA.
