Proportional Weapons
Abstract
The Proportional Weapons program will pursue a real-time capability to analyze and apply proportional effects for families of weapons that suppress or breach any external structure to neutralize threats, clear spaces at range, keep them intact, and minimize collateral damage. Novel approaches are needed that are effective from the air or ground against several scales of threats while not being catastrophically destructive. Current approaches to identifying, engaging, and assessing effects against evasive ground targets requires significant human oversight combined with human semantic reasoning tied to rules of execution, resulting in slow and methodical engagements. Proportional weapons will study systems that provide extended range and tunable effects. Proposed technical approaches will be scalable for application to dismounted warfighters, vehicle-borne (air and ground) systems, or as human-in-the-loop payloads for future autonomous platforms.
