Advanced Warheads Technology
Abstract
This Project explores multiple pathways to enhance lethal efforts for future warheads against emerging peer/near peer target sets. Investigates synergistic effects of novel micro warheads using advance materials. This Project investigates innovative energetic materials and novel processing techniques for the next generation of explosives and propulsion applications to enable an increase in range, lethality, and utility of munitions. It also directly supports Army Modernization Priorities through researching and developing energetic (propellant) technologies and processes for increased performance, expanded operation temperature bounds, and improved safety and environmental compliance of missile systems. Work in this Project complements PE 0602147A (Long Range Precision Fires Technology) / AG6 (Energetic Materials and Advanced Processing Techno), PE 0603464A (Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology / AG7 (Energetic Materials and Adv Processing Adv Tech),PE 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology), PE 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Technology), and 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology). 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).
