Medium Caliber Ammunition

Abstract

Project 694 Medium Caliber Ammunition supports development of a 30 millimeter (mm) Multi-Mode Proximity Airburst (MMPA) munition and a Closed Loop Guided Munition System capable of defeating materiel, personnel, and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) threats. Multi-Mode Proximity Airburst (MMPA) supports the Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (MSHORAD) directed requirement and is endorsed by the Air and Missile Defense Cross Functional Team (AMD CFT). The Guided Munition will support current and future ground platform with a 30mm weapon systems. These efforts will miniaturize and mature critical technologies in preparation to enter Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD). Critical technologies include airburst fuzing, guidance and navigation, communication with fire control, and advanced lethality.
