Joint Extended Range Illumination Projectile (JERIP)
Abstract
JERIP demonstrates an improved Infrared and Visible Light Illumination capability for maneuver commanders. JERIP extends Joint Day and Night Vision range by an additional five kilometers, provides 75 percent increase in engagement area footprint coverage, reduces the taxpayer burden and costs by re-using M483 155mm projectile shell bodies in the demilitarized stockpile, and creates a procurement avoidance estimated benefit of $10.000 million.
