Enhanced Fuze for 70mm Warhead (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
Test an electronic time delay mode which allows the pilot to change fuze settings in-flight and engage a wider range of targets. Special Operations Little Bird helicopter pilots are missing targets of opportunity, and shooting through targets due to the inability to reset their rocket fuzes once airborne. The primary outputs are increased capability to defeat a variety of structures and reduced dependence on Joint Direct Attack Munitions and Hellfire Rockets. An Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract was established for 70mm rockets and fuzes. Fielding reduction is greater than seven years.
