Future CAS Initiatives (1 of 2)

M32 LHMBC (WM6)

Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)

Accomplishments

Future Efforts • Airframe readily modified to potentially become cargo carrier

for Illumination smoke and other variants at 30km ranges

• Using USMC funding, Completed an Android application

− Supports Direct Lay and Hipshoot Missions

• Technology developed provides core functionality needed

for Army objective efforts including:

− A Ballistic Kernel that runs on an Android Platform

− Geo-trans libraries that run on an Android Platform

155mm XM1128 HE IM BB

Android LHMBC Project

Accomplishments • Potential Material solution for USMC 155mm Suite of Cannon

Artillery Munitions CPD

• USMC RDTE funding leveraged to establish TRL6 maturity:

− Live Fire demonstrations from both US 39 Caliber and Allied

52 Caliber 155mm Cannon

− Static detonation testing with HF-1 steel and IMX 101 fill proves greater lethality than M549A1

− Fully Range Zoneable replacement for both M795 and

M549A1

− Production tooling and process developed

Future Efforts

− Fully Funded in FY16 to complete software integration

and begin procuring M32A2s (converge with Nett Warrior)
