Projectile and Multi-Function Warhead Technologies
Abstract
This Project designs and validates novel lethal mechanism technologies to reduce energy or mass required to defeat emerging armor threats and provide multipurpose options for revolutionary capability to include defeat of advanced Tier 1 adversary vehicle and body armors. This research is coordinated with PE 0602141A (Lethality Technology) / Project AH7 (Lethal and Scalable Effects Technologies), PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology / Project AY6 (Soldier Squad Small Arms Armaments Technology), and PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology) / Project BF5 (Adv Lethality & Accuracy System for Med Cal Adv Tech) and builds upon weapon target interaction research in PE 0601102A Defense Research Sciences / Project AA7 (Mechanics and Ballistics). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command (AFC).
