Direct Fire Technology
Abstract
The Direct Fire Technology funding will be used to support direct fire ammunition from small caliber ammunition, 40mm grenade, medium caliber cannon ammunition and large caliber ammunition enhancements to lethality, effectiveness, survivability, accuracy and general product improvements. FY 2020 funds are used for a more lethal and safer design for 40mm grenades that will be built and tested. Warhead improvement and primer improvement for 30mm ammunition are also under development. A number of improvements for training ammunition, environmentally friendly primers, and lightweight small caliber ammunition will continue to be developed. Potential improvements to 105mm and 120mm ammunition will be examined.
