Seeker Technology for Hypervelocity Projectiles
Abstract
This prototyping project addressed gaps in hypersonics through the development of innovative seeker technologies suitable for hypervelocity projectiles to enhance combat lethality in complex environments. The prototype is a gun-hardened, low-cost seeker technology that significantly improves accuracy and enables critical multi-mission capability. Through this effort, multiple seeker technologies for small agile interceptors were integrated and tested using government developed and built projectiles. The prototype built on work completed in the Office of Naval Research and the Strategic Capabilities Office. Using FY 2019 funding, the project completed development and performed a final flight test prior to the technology transitioning to the U.S. Navy.
