Armament Subsystems
Abstract
The Armament Subsystems BPAC contains a variety of work: - Bombs/munitions and fuzes. The Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) was developed primarily for JDAM and funded by the JDAM program. This project funds the integration of JPF on other AF legacy weapons and improvements to the JPF program, including reliability enhancements and producibility improvements. In addition, the project supports other fuze development activity, including characterization of the Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF), and AF participation in the DOD Fuze Integrated Product Team (IPT). This project is also conducting an Eglin Steel Producibility Enhancement (ESPE) for warhead manufacture (the BLU-122). - Insensitive Munitions (IM). IM develops explosive fills and bomb case modifications to make conventional weapons insensitive to unplanned stimuli. The project also supports AF IM strategic planning to achieve IM compliance IAW U.S. Code, Title 10, Subtitle A , Part N, Chapter 141, Section 2389, "Ensuring safety regarding insensitive munitions." - Munitions Materiel Handling Equipment (MMHE) and Container Design Retrieval System (CDRS). Armament Standardization/Control/Munitions Materiel Handling Equipment (MMHE) is a continuing project to develop and improve the standardization and commonality of munitions handling and armament equipment to preclude duplication. Efforts are limited to the study, design, and development of MMHE and armament control systems. Procurement will be performed and funded by the applicable weapons system project. The tri-service Container Design Retrieval System (CDRS) is a database intended to preclude proliferation and duplication of munitions containers. It also supports organic container design, acquisition transportation, prototyping, testing capabilities, as well as the Joint Ordnance Commander's Working Group (JOCG) for Packaging, Handling, and Loading. This project is in Budget Activity 5 - System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because the projects support the SDD phase of several munitions related items and functions.
