Ammunition Logistics

Abstract

This Project matures and demonstrates technologies for rapidly deploying and resupplying munitions while also improving the return of unused ammunition from deployment. This effort contributes to force readiness and reduction in the logistics footprint through improvements in Materials Handling Equipment (MHE), ammunition, and lethality packaging/palletization, explosives safety, weapons re-arm, and asset throughput/management. Efforts in this Project support the Army Science and Technology Lethality and Ground Maneuver Portfolios. Work in this Project is related to, and fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology) and PE 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
