Weapon Technology Development
Abstract
This project develops, matures, assesses, and demonstrates advanced/innovative ordnance and guidance component and subsystem technologies for air-launched conventional weapons. The project focuses on maturation of advanced explosives, fuzes, warheads, sub-munitions, and weapon airframes, carriage and dispensing; as well as innovative munition seekers, weapon aerodynamics, navigation and control, and guidance subsystem integration/simulation. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 63670A, Weapon Technology Development, will be transferred to PE 0603035F, Next Generation Effects Dev/Demos, Project 63670A, Weapon Technology Development as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE consolidation in order to realign technology areas that better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and Air Force Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Technology Directorate located in Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
