Precision and Coop Weapons in a Denied Env Tech
Abstract
This Project investigates technologies to deliver accurate fires from extended ranges in denied environments and informs future close- and deep-range Long Range Precision Fires capabilities (e.g., Extended Range Cannon Artillery, Precision Strike Missile). Research in this Program Element (PE) researches technologies for navigation of munitions without Global Positioning System (GPS) and flying munitions to much greater distances against advanced threat Area Denial Assets by delivering navigation technology for multiple munitions with complementary sensors and maneuverability technology for munitions with enhanced lift and control characteristics. Research in this Project transitions foundational research obtained in PE 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences) / AA7 (Mechanics and Ballistics) and complements PE 0602141A (Lethality Technology) / Project AH6 (Disruptive Energetics and Propulsion Technologies), Project AH7 (Lethal and Scalable Effects Technologies), and Project AH8 (Lethality Materials and Processes Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
