Scientific, Engineering, and Technical Assistance to ARPA - Close Combat Technology

Abstract

This effort represents System Planning Corporation's final deliverable under contract MDA972-90-C-0044 in accordance with Data Item 0004AC. This Scientific, Engineering, and Technical Assistance (SETA) effort provided direct support to DARPA's Land Systems Office (LSO) in the broad area of close combat technology. The scope of SETA activities included a wide range of armor/ antiarmor (A3) efforts, including chemical-energy (CE) and kinetic-energy (KE) weapons; ceramic, reactive and laminate armors; active protection techniques; electromagnetic and electrothermal propulsion; missile and rocket systems; direct and indirect fire control technologies; hypersonic munitions; dispensing technologies; mine/counter-mine systems, vehicle propulsion and fire control; and simulation systems. We worked closely with LSO supporting the monitoring and management of both national and international programs and established many working relationships with both government and industry participants
