Seeker Technology for Hypervelocity Projectiles

Abstract

This prototyping project developed innovative seeker technologies suitable for hypervelocity projectiles to enhance combat lethality in complex environments. The prototype is a gun-hardened, low-cost seeker technology that significantly improves accuracy and enables critical multi-mission capability. Multiple seeker technologies for small agile interceptors were integrated and tested using a government developed and built projectiles. The prototype built on work completed in the Office of Naval Research and the Strategic Capabilities Office. FY 2018 funds completed development and testing to support a final flight test with a subsequent transition to a new acquisition program in the Navy.
