Improved Multi-Option Fuze

Abstract

The Improved Multi-Option Fuze Project 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 fuze 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 Project will develop and qualify safe, affordable, reliable, Proximity Height of Burst fuzing solutions with robust Defense Exportability Features (DEF) for non-precision conventional cannon artillery and mortar munitions that are resistant to adversary exploitation via ECM and RE threats. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funds will support Improved Multi-Option Fuze Mortar (iMOFM) design verification, hardware fabrication, qualification testing, and Fuze Qualification Testing for both Multi-Option Fuze Artillery (MOFA) II and iMOFM.
