WARHEADS/ ENERGETICS TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
This project designs and develops enabling warhead and energetic technologies such as novel warhead architectures, new propellant techniques, and high-density explosives to produce smaller, lighter, more effective, multi-role warheads. Work in project H28 is related to, and fully coordinated with, efforts in projects H18 and H19 in this PE, PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), and projects 232 and L94 in PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. This work is performed by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The active protection system (APS) countermunition efforts are developed in collaboration with the Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Warren, MI, PE 0603005A and the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Huntsville, AL, PE 0603313A.
