Hypervelocity Armament System (HAS)
Abstract
Project L87 The Hypervelocity Armament System (HAS) and associated technologies are composed of advanced gun weapon systems, command guided maneuverable projectiles, and tactical sensors. The development of HAS would include advancing artillery powder guns firing Hypervelocity Projectiles (HVPs), resulting in a next generation, common, low drag, guided cannon artillery projectiles capable of completing multiple missions with improved cost effectiveness. Integration with a fire control radar and sensor array will allow closed-loop targeting of moving and relocatable targets beyond the range of conventional artillery. Current estimates for follow on development efforts achieve transitionable technology solutions by FY 2023. FY 2019 Base funding in the amount of $35.617 million supports the continued initiation of contract requirements package development, system evaluation, develop and integrate advanced gun systems, requirements/specification work, integration development, howitzer gun system integration and test plans. The Army will leverage Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) prototypes and technologies to continue transition from the FY 2018 program into programs of record.
