Firepower
Abstract
The activity investigates a large variety of weapons to provide the warfighter with a decisive, yet surgical, tactical advantage to collectively address 21st-century combined-arms warfare against peer and near-peer states. Research efforts increase the reach, lethality, and capacity while retaining mobility and tempo beneficial to expeditionary maneuver warfare. Maintaining focus on Size, Weight, Power, Cost and Distributed, Intermittent and Limited environments stresses the technical solutions available. This activity furthers the maturity of researched technology solutions by also developing the integration required to effectively demonstrate and test emergent capabilities. Achieving a true combined arms state involves a full systems approach for both kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities all driven by a holistic targeting capability. This activity develops technology for application on current and future expeditionary weapons. It includes, but is not limited to, the following technologies: fuze, fire control, targeting, launch/propulsion, lethality, and accuracy.
