Ordnance Technology
Abstract
This project investigates, develops, and evaluates conventional ordnance technologies to establish technical feasibility and military utility for advanced explosives, fuzes, warheads, submunitions, and weapon airframes, carriage, and dispensing. The project also assesses the lethality and effectiveness of current and planned conventional weapons technology programs and assesses target vulnerability. The payoffs include: improved storage capability and transportation safety of fully assembled weapons; improved warhead and fuze effectiveness; improved submunition dispensing; low-cost airframe/subsystem components and structures; and reduced aerospace vehicle and weapon drag.
