Conventional Weapons Development
Abstract
This project develops, demonstrates, and integrates ordnance and affordable, autonomous, and adverse weather resistant guidance technologies for enhancing the effectiveness of air-launched conventional weapons delivered from manned and unmanned aerospace vehicles. The project develops conventional ordnance including warheads, fuzes, explosives, carriage and release, munition integration technologies, terminal seekers, midcourse navigation sensors for stand off delivery weapons, and target detection and identification processing algorithms for reducing target location error to improve target kill probability. This project improves the capability for conventional munitions supporting an Air Expeditionary Force.
