Joint DoD/DOE Munitions Technology Development
Abstract
DoD/DOE Munitions Technology Development focuses on the following key areas: • Computational Mechanics and Material Modeling - develops physics-based computational tools, material models, and calibration and validation databases that support the design and development of weapon systems. • Energetic Materials (EM) technical area - develops new ingredients and formulations and supporting technologies to satisfy the competing requirements for smaller, more lethal, and less sensitive munitions. • Initiators, Fuzes, and Sensors - develop new materials, components, diagnostic techniques, and modeling and simulation tools for fuzing systems. • Warhead and Penetration Technology - supports the development of new warheads and penetrator weapons through advances in materials processing and characterization, instrumentation, and computational codes. • Munitions Lifecycle Technologies - supports improving the Department’s ability to understand measure, predict, and mitigate safety and reliability problems caused by materials aging and degradation in weapons systems.
