Improved Multi-Option Fuze

Abstract

The Improved Multi-Option Fuze Project (MOFA II/iMOFM) is a technology refresh and modernization effort that provides an incremental capability with technology advancements and performance improvements on the current non-precision artillery and mortar ammunition proximity multi-option fuzes that will increase robustness to electronic countermeasures (ECM), eliminates the susceptibility of reverse engineering (RE), incorporates power source advancements, improves delay mode reliability, and integrates safe & arm improvements. This will develop and qualify safe, affordable, reliable Proximity Height of Burst (HoB) fuzing solutions with robust Defense Exportability Features (DEF) for non-precision conventional Cannon artillery and Mortar munitions that are resistant to adversary exploitation via electronic countermeasures and reverse engineering threats. FY 2020 will support the preparation and incrementing of Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contracts, the fabrication of MOFA II and iMOFM hardware to conduct developmental verification tests and Product Qualification Tests (PQT), the iMOFM Critical Design Review (CDR), and the preparations for transition into production.
