Aviation Rocket System Product Improvement and Dev
Abstract
The Aviation Rockets Product Improvement and Development line funds the development, integration and test of munitions and their interface to launcher and platforms to meet user requirements. Additionally, it will fund a range of improvement initiatives to modernize the Hydra-70 2.75 Inch rocket and launcher system to include improvements to performance, safety, reliability, transportability, producibility, affordability and Insensitive Munitions (IM) compliance. The current Hydra-70 2.75 inch rocket system is more than 50 years old and is in need of performance improvements to comply with 1) USC - Title 10, Chapter 141, Section 2389, 2) DoD Directive 5000.1, CJCS Instruction 3170.01C, USD (AT&L) Memorandum of January 26, 1999, "Exemption for Existing Inventory Items to IM Requirements", 3) validated Lightweight Precision Munition (LPM) Operational Needs Statement ONS 16-21556, and 4) existing/emerging HQDA G-3/5/7 and TRADOC aviation weapon requirements for guided and unguided rocket systems. Improvements to existing rocket systems and munitions will include design, qualification and integration of precision guidance capability, increased lethality, improved target suppression, increased standoff range, reduced minimum engagement range, improved pre-launch constraints and munitions communications/programmability, increased stowed kills, increased product reliability, improved hardness against unplanned stimuli, reduced war fighter workload, and reduced environmental impact for both manned and unmanned applications.
