Firepower
Abstract
The activity investigates a large variety of weapons technologies to enhance fires capabilities of Fleet Marine Forces as part of joint maritime campaigns to counter emerging threats and create new opportunities for the joint force to secure operational advantage. Research efforts increase range, lethality, and capacity, while maintaining mobility and tempo to operate inside actively contested maritime domains, to achieve overmatch fires capabilities when operating within the landward portions of the littorals, and to provide weapons system capabilities able to persist when operating within the adversary's intelligence, surveillance, collection, and weapons ranges. Focus on low size, weight, power, and cost of weapons components and weapon systems, having low manpower and cognitive burdens to operate, with low logistics burdens, stresses technical solutions. Weapons system technologies being developed include fire control, launch and propulsion, precision guidance, navigation, and control, seekers, fuzing, and lethality.
