Next Generation Munitions Handler (NGMH)

Abstract

R&D program to develop robotic weapons loader for both ship and shore with primary focus on targeting future weapons and aircraft. Plan is to support CVNX initiatives and to back-fit current CVs and amphibious ships. Utilize technology features developed under NGMH program. One lab prototype will upload/download munitions in support of sea-based aviation, specifically the CVN-21 environment. It will be a self-powered diesel/electric unit with human amplification technology. Newly developed high-torque electric actuator/motors will provide the robotics. Variable geometry Ionator wheels will provide the mobility for the vehicle. Self diagnostics for maintenance analysis will be included for the design.
