Direct Strike Penetrator Systems
Abstract
Direct Strike Penetrator Systems project includes development of Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), an advanced precision guided penetrator munition that will provide the Air Force with an improved capability using air-to-surface conventional munitions to attack HDBTs, such as bunker and tunnel facilities, with fewer weapons and number of missions necessary to defeat targets and increase overall survivability. The system will hold at risk those highest priority assets essential to the enemy's warfighting ability, which are heavily defended and protected, providing a critical global strike capability not currently met by inventory conventional weapons. Direct Strike Penetrator Systems also includes an analysis and report to evaluate the performance, operational suitability, and cost of alternative hard target defeat systems. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because effort are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
