Family of Artillery Munitions (FAM)

Abstract

Family of Artillery Munitions (FAM) is an effort that seeks to provide the warfighter with the most state of the art Global Positioning System guided and Ballistic 155mm projectiles. In conjunction with the Army, the Marine Corps is evaluating new munitions that are effective against individual area targets dispersed over a defined area, targets whose precise locations are not known, time-sensitive or moving targets, and massed formations of enemy forces. Funding is used to develop and mature these projectiles for the Marine Corps to include conducting safety and engineering analysis as well as ship compatibility studies.
