Enhanced Munitions
Abstract
Enhanced Munitions focuses on the following key areas: - High Performance Propulsion – Develops technologies to improve weapon range and speed, rocket motors with Ammonium Perchlorate, with or without a metal fuel, for rockets and missiles launched from air, ground, and sea platforms as well as advanced air breathing systems. - Minimum Signature Rocket Propulsion (MSP) - focuses on the development and demonstration of technologies to improve the range and speed of minimum signature propellant missiles launched from air, ground, and sea platforms. - Area Effects Warheads (AEW) - focuses on the development of technologies to improve the lethal effectiveness and reduce the size and weight of Area Effects munitions. - Hard Target Effects Warheads (HTEW) - focuses on the development of explosive ingredients, explosives, and warhead technologies to improve the performance of penetrator munitions. - Gun Propulsion (GP) focuses on the development of technologies in the area of GP systems to improve the range and/or time to target of all gun launched munitions to include tank/mortar and medium/large caliber propulsion systems, as well as shoulder launched weapon systems.
