Conventional Weapons Development
Abstract
This program develops, demonstrates, and integrates advanced ordnance and guidance technologies for air-launched conventional weapons. The program focuses on conventional ordnance component technologies such as warheads, fuzes, and explosives, as well as munition guidance component technologies such as navigation and control systems and seekers. Technologies to be developed, demonstrated, and integrated address blast, fragmentation, penetration, low-collateral damage, variable depth/location fuzing, precise guidance, and high performance and insensitive explosives. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Department of Defense (DoD) Science and Technology (S&T) Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development, since it develops and demonstrates technologies for existing system upgrades and/or new system developments that have military utility and address warfighter needs.
