Subsystems ChallengeSubsystems Challenge
• Main Armaments– Launcher with swing chamber
• Compact ammo handling needed to allow more room for stowed ammo
– Recoil management• High recoil forces and light vehicles present unique
challenges while minimizing under volume.
– Fire Control • Direct and indirect compatible with network centric force
• Ammo Suite– Electro-thermal-chemical (ETC) Propulsion
• High energy propellant with low sensitivity and precision ignition in compact cartridge
– Multi-Mode Warhead Development• Effects against multiple targets with one munition type
– Advanced Materials• Lightweight & High Strength

Solution–Extended recoil stroke for direct fire, reduced stroke for higher angle, indirect fire, lower impulse rounds–Systems concerns dictate we minimize weight and launcher imbalance–Reduced stroke for high elevation firing minimizes turret intrusion(FOOB complexity increases weight and volume, although recoil stroke is less)

MP-ERM with Multi-Purpose Warhead
• Challenge– Warhead effects against multiple targets with one
munition type (in order to reduce logistics burden) out to 12km.
• Barrier– Constraining volume while increasing performance– Current warheads are optimized for particular target
classes – Delivery errors of ballistic flight
• Solution– Precision munition
• Hi-G survivable G&C
– Multi-purpose warhead• More powerful explosives• Ignition circuits / selectable fuzing

Defeats… helicopters, personnel, heavy armor, walls, BMPs, trucks, bunkers, buildings, artillery, UAVs.
Government Baseline FCS Smart Cargo Carrier
• Challenge– Lightweight carrier round with sufficient
volume to carry multiple payloads out to 50km.
• Barrier– Smaller round leaves less room for cargo than a
155mm cargo round– Latency of target location information due to
long time of flight.
• Pacing Technologies Lightweight Accurate Carrier Round
• Maximize payload volume– smart skin (smart materials and structures for
control actuation surfaces)– Metal matrix composites for airframe
• Hi-G survivability of navigation sensor and airframe (IMU, GPS/INS)
• Dynamic Retargeting– Robust commo links with FO to munition
• Leverages Army MEMS IMU Effort
