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) 2022 funding will support the completion of Multi-Option Fuze Artillery (MOFA) II and Improved Multi-Option Fuze Mortar (iMOFM) hardware fabrication required for design verification and qualification testing. Funding will also support engineering efforts to evaluate test data to ensure that MOFA II and iMOFM are safe, suitable and operationally effective, as well as the gathering of all statutory and regulatory requirements in support of a Milestone C.
