Assured Precision Weapons and Munitions

Abstract

The Assured Precision Weapons and Munitions (APWM) -FA5 Project is focused on advanced risk mitigation, technology integration, prototyping, and product support to identify, evaluate, mature, test, and demonstrate various assured precision prototype technologies in weapon and munitions components and subsystems within a complex system of systems environment. The Assured Precision Weapons and Munitions Project reinforces the National Defense Strategy's major lines of effort through technology development and prototyping that increase lethality and ensure future combat overmatch success of the Joint Force against peer/near-peer adversaries as well as improving program performance and affordability for multiple weapons and munitions Programs of Record (PoRs) via Joint Lethality Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and Army M-Code GPS coordinated efforts. The Assured Precision Weapons and Munitions Project directly supports Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Funding will support engagement by Weapons and Munitions PNT experts in the development, evaluation, and technology delivery activities of the Air Force's M-Code GPS and Army's Assured PNT programs. Funding will also enable component and subsystem architecture input essential for precision weapons and munitions operating in a system of-systems environment, Army M-Code GPS technology integration and evaluation, and maturation of alternative positioning, navigation and timing related technologies to enable informed Assured PNT related program of record milestone and Army cross-functional modernization decisions.
