FIREPOWER
Abstract
This activity develops technology for application on current and future expeditionary weapons and elements of the kill chain. It includes, but is not limited to, the following technologies: Fuze, fire control, launch/propulsion, lethality, and accuracy. FY 2010 to FY 2011 increase in funding is due to an expansion in the scope of E&D efforts for precision urban attack driven by affordability issues. The efforts address technologies needed to acquire, track, and designate Forward Observer (FO) identified targets, from an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), for urban and other complex terrain attack by mortar rounds with advanced trajectory shaping capabilities.
