Advanced 5,000 lb (A5K) Penetrator
Abstract
Advanced 5,000 lb (A5K) Penetrator is an improved 5,000 lb class penetrator to address capability gaps identified in the HTM AoA. Conduct A5K design, development, integration, modeling and simulation, and testing to improve performance against increasingly hardened targets. This effort will utilize existing and improved technologies to field an integrated penetrator weapon system to include: an improved penetrator warhead, a smart fuze system that can detect layers/voids, and a modified Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) tail kit for all weather, precision guidance, navigation, and control.
