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 supporting the Design of Army 2040. 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 autonomous 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) 2025 funding will be used to further mature munition health monitoring devices in accordance with the needs of the relevant PMs. Funding will be used to directly to support Contested Logistics and Long Range Precision Fire (LRPF) Cross Functional Teams (CFT) munition asset visibility and health monitoring requirements throughout the ammunition supply chain and resupply process. Specifically, the funding will be used to address improvements to the ammunition supply chain within the maneuver force.
