Improved Multi-Option Fuze
Abstract
This project will integrate the results of BA4 PE 0603639A Project EU2 and qualify/Type Classify (TC) new improved Multi-Option Fuzes (iMOFA/iMOFM) with Government-owned Next Generation Proximity Sensor (NGPS) capabilities containing 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. Continuing FMS sales of non-precision artillery and mortar ammunition fuzes containing proximity technology will increase the incidence of reverse engineering (RE) and threat of electronic countermeasures (ECM). If realized, these threats will negate the current battlefield advantages of U.S. troops. The pending policy-driven loss of Cannon DPICM will further increase the importance of NGPS / Height of Burst fuzing capabilities to efficiently engage enemy target sets. This project will develop and qualify safe, affordable, reliable Proximity/HoB fuzing solution for non- precision Cannon artillery and Mortar munitions that are resistant to adversary exploitation via ECM and RE threats.
