Weapon Concept Development
Abstract
This project develops, refines, integrates, demonstrates, and assesses ordnance and guidance technologies to reduce risk for potential air-launched conventional weapons acquisitions. The project concentrates in two effort areas, Air-to-Air Concept Development and Air-to-Ground Concept Development. The project focuses on risk reduction 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. This project includes the initiation and development of programs addressing DAF capability gaps and provides technologies for transformational future force capabilities. Transformational efforts will be identified through a competitive process and be responsive to DAF design priorities. Selected efforts will be designated as transformational, indicating enterprise-level priority.
