Integrated Munitions Launcher (IML)/Launcher Electronic Assembly (LEA)
Abstract
These funds will be used to upgrade and enhance launcher components to support current and future munitions outlined in the Army Aviation Weapons, Sub Systems and Munitions Initial Capability Document, dated 17 July 2018 and the Air Launched Effects (ALE) Initial Capability Refinement Document (ICRD) dated 21 Oct 2019. This effort allows the government to align technology enabling solutions with the Army Aviation Weapons, Sub Systems and Munitions Initial Capability Document, maturing technological developments of Integrated Munitions Launcher (IML) components prototypes to mitigate Apache helicopter and Gray Eagle Unmanned Aerial System launcher obsolescence limitations. The launcher component efforts will define and provide the interfaces between aircraft and emerging munitions utilizing a non-proprietary, open systems architecture allowing easy compatibility when integrating on to aviation platforms. The inherent flexibility of an open architecture serves as a building block for future weapons systems.
