Ammunition Logistics Prototyping

Abstract

This Project supports the future force by improving the distribution, management, reliability and survivability of ammunition through the advanced development, integration, and demonstration of logistics system enablers. These enablers will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ammunition operations, to include retrograde, while reducing the logistics footprint on the battlefield. Technology areas addressed include handling, distribution, and management (strategic and tactical), prognostics, diagnostics, and asset visibility, explosives safety, and adaptive and environmentally friendly packaging and palletization. The efficient deployment and sustainment of reliable ammunition is vital to success on the battlefield. This Project enhances the operational effectiveness of the ammunition logistics system to ensure the distribution of reliable ammunition to the warfighter. Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 funding will be used to further mature munition health monitoring devices in accordance with the needs of the relevant PMs. However, the preponderance of the funding will be used to directly to support Long Range Precision Fire (LRPF) munition health monitoring requirements throughout its resupply process. Specifically, the funding will be used to address munition health monitoring and packaging/preservation of munitions within the tactical movement of large caliber ammunition.
