Joint Extended Range Illumination Projectile (JERIP)
Abstract
The Joint Extended Range Illumination Projectile (JERIP) creates an improved Infrared and Visible Light Illumination capability for maneuver commanders. JERIP extends Joint Night Vision range by 5 kilometers; provides 75 percent increase in illumination footprint, eliminates demilitarization costs by re-using M483 155mm projectile shell bodies, and creates a procurement savings of $10 million. JERIP will complete development and demonstration in 3Q FY 2013, and transition into PEO Ammo in 4Q FY 2013.
