Precision Fire Technology Improvements

Abstract

This Project supports required Precision Munitions and Fuze assessment and improvement initiatives to support increased rates of fire for items that have been fielded or in full rate production, such as the M1155 Enhanced Portable Inductive Artillery Fuze Setter (EPIAFS), Excalibur and Precision Guidance Kit (PGK). Efforts will identify, characterize, study, analyze, test and develop Precision Munition and Fuze technologies to increase range, lethality, effectiveness, survivability and accuracy. FY 2022 funding will support preliminary fuze setter trade studies and improvement activities on setter technologies to inform requirements and the setter modernization roadmap. FY 2022 funding will also support the Excalibur high pressure setback testing and safety margin improvement initiatives that will ensure survivability and reliability with the Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) system in support of the Army's modernization priorities.
