Kinetic Delivery in Advanced Aerospace Systems
Abstract
Studies and other initiatives conducted under this thrust examine and evaluate emerging technologies and system concepts that employ physical means to degrade or deny targeted adversary capabilities. The feasibility of achieving potential improvements, in terms of resources, schedule, and technological risk, is also evaluated. The results from these studies and initiatives are used, in part, to formulate future prototype development programs or refocus ongoing work. Topics for this thrust include: methods of defeating enemy anti-aircraft attacks; munition technologies to increase precision, range, endurance, and lethality of weapons for a variety of mission sets; digital design methodologies that are compatible with surged production to deliver large quantities in time of critical need; advanced energetics; and examining novel target defeat mechanisms.
