Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This program investigates, develops, and establishes the technical feasibility and military utility of guidance and ordnance technologies for conventional munitions. This program is focused on integration by design and starting with desired mission effect to deliver war winning capabilities to defend the homeland, provide nuclear deterrence, and deliver force projection. The effort supports core technical competencies of munitions aerodynamics, guidance, navigation, and control; terminal seeker sciences; fuze technology; energetic materials; damage mechanisms; and munition systems effects.

What project 622502 buys
This project investigates, develops, and evaluates conventional ordnance technologies to establish technical feasibility and military utility for advanced explosives, fuzes, warheads, sub-munitions, and weapon airframes, carriage, and dispensing through integration by design and starting with desired mission effect to deliver war winning capabilities to defend the homeland, provide nuclear deterrence, and deliver force projection. The project also assesses the lethality and effectiveness of current and planned conventional weapons technology programs and assesses target vulnerability. The payoffs include improved storage capability and transportation safety of fully assembled weapons, improved warhead and fuze effectiveness, improved sub-munitions dispensing, low-cost airframe/subsystem components and structures, and reduced aerospace vehicle and weapon drag.
