Improved Multi-Option Fuze (iMOFA/iMOFM)
Abstract
The Improved Multi-Option Fuze (iMOFA/iMOFM) project will identify, develop, prototype, and demonstrate new improved multi-option fuze technologies, components, and subsystems based on Government-owned 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 project will support technology maturation and risk reduction, and will evaluate and analyze producibility, affordability, safety, and compatibility of these prototype potential materiel solutions in representative realistic performance-related developmental tests. Up to four potential NGPS with built-in DEF technology prototype solutions for improved multi-option fuzing systems from Government and/or Industry will be prototyped and evaluated. This project will enable fact-based analysis of new Government-owned 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.
