Improved Multi-Option Fuze (iMOFA/iMOFM)

Abstract

This program will identify, develop, prototype, and demonstrate new improved multi-option fuze technologies, components, and subsystems based on Next Generation Proximity Sensor (NGPS) capabilities with built-in exportability attributes previously matured via OSD-sponsored techbase efforts under the Joint Fuze Technology Program and Defense Exportability Features (DEF) Congressional Pilot Program. This program will evaluate and analyze the effectiveness, efficiency, producibility, affordability, safety, and compatibility of these prototype potential materiel solutions in representative realistic performance-related developmental tests. Up to four potential improved multi-option fuze solution alternatives from Government and/or Industry will be prototyped and evaluated leveraging NGPS with built-in DEF technology. This program will enable fact-based analysis of new height of burst/proximity fuzing alternatives that are resistant to enemy countermeasures and reverse engineering threats, quantify their effectiveness, reduce integration risk, and support transition into existing/new artillery/mortar fuzes and munitions.
