Proportional Weapons
Abstract
The Proportional Weapons program will create a real-time capability to analyze and apply proportional effects for families of weapons that suppress or breach any external structure to neutralize threats, clear spaces at range, keep them intact, and minimize collateral damage. Novel approaches are needed that are absolutely effective from the air or ground against several scales of primarily urban, concealed threats while not being catastrophically destructive. Current approaches to identifying, engaging, and assessing effects against evasive ground targets in complex terrain requires significant human oversight combined with human semantic reasoning tied to rules of execution, resulting in slow and methodical engagements. Proportional weapons will develop next generation effects for ground systems that provides extended range and tunable effects with greatly minimized impact to a warfighter operator. Proposed technical approaches will be scalable for application to dismounted warfighters, vehicle-borne (air and ground) systems, or as human-in-the-loop payloads for future autonomous platforms.
