The missile is currently used in FMS ground launch systems and is planned for integration with an US Army ground launch system. Description: The AIM-120 missile is a medium range, radar guided air-to-air missile with ground-to-air potential. The missile is 12 ft long; weighs about 350 lbs.; has four mid-body fixed wings; four moveable rear fins; and an umbilical connection which allows communication with the launch platform for targeting and initialization. The missile consists of four sections: guidance, armament, propulsion, and control. The guidance section includes the hardware and software necessary for target acquisition and track, navigation, data link processing, and electrical power distribution. The guidance section contains the: seeker/servo electronics, transmitter/electrical conversion unit (ECU), electronics unit, inertial reference unit (IRU), and quad/target detection device (QTDD). The QTDD antennas are mounted in the aft portion of the guidance section and are covered with a fiberglass wrap. Alpha codes located after guidance section part numbers define software for AIM-120A missiles. The AIM-120B and AIM-120C guidance sections are reprogrammable and do not use alpha codes. The armament section includes a warhead assembly and a MK44 MOD 1 booster threaded onto a safe and arming fuze (SAF) device. The high performance propulsion section uses a single, reduced-smoke hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) solid propellant in a boost-sustain configuration encased in an asbestosfree insulated steel case (an integral part of the airframe). It is also equipped with an integral aft closure/blast tube/nozzle assembly with a removable exit cone. Beginning with the AIM-120C-5 the missile has an enhanced motor with an additional 5 inches of propellant and is commonly referred to as the +5 rocket motor. The control section consists of control electronics, actuator batteries, and four independently controlled servo-actuators. A shortened control actuation section (SCAS) is used with the +5 rocket motor.

Description: Although the Maverick is a modular design weapon, it is delivered to the services as an all-up round (AUR). A different combination of the guidance package and warhead can be attached to the rocket motor section to produce a different weapon. The Maverick has three different seekers and two different warheads. The solid-rocket motor propulsion section is common to all variants. The seeker options are electro-optical (EO) imaging, imaging infrared (IIR) or a laser guidance package. The warhead is in the missile's center-aft section (CAS). Either a 125pound shaped-charge warhead or a 300-pound penetrator warhead can be used. A contact fuze in the base of the warhead fires the shaped-charge. The penetrator uses a delayed-fuze, allowing the warhead to penetrate the target with its kinetic energy before firing. The latter is very effective against large, hard targets. The AGM-65 has a cylindrical body with long-chord delta wings and tail control surfaces mounted close to the trailing edge of the wing of the aircraft using it. Maverick A has an electro-optical television guidance system. After the protective dome cover is automatically removed from the nose of the missile and its video circuitry activated, the scene viewed by the guidance system appears on a cockpit television screen. The pilot selects the target, centers cross hairs on it, locks on, and then launches the missile. Maverick B is similar to the A model, although the television guidance system has a screen magnification capability that enables the pilot to identify and lock on to smaller and more distant targets. Maverick D has an imaging infrared (IIR) guidance system, operated much like that of the A and B models, except that infrared video overcomes the daylight-only, adverse weather limitations of the other system. The infrared Maverick D can track heat generated by a target and provide the pilot a pictorial display of the target during darkness and hazy or inclement weather. Maverick E model is the only version having the laser-guided seeker section. It uses the heavyweight penetrator warhead. This variant is used by the U.S. Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force against fortified ground installations, armored vehicles, and surface combatants during Close Air Support missions. Used in conjunction with ground or airborne laser designators, the missile seeker searches a sector 7 miles across and over 10 miles ahead. If the missile loses track of the laser spot it flies up and over the target. A safety feature on the missile prevents the warhead from detonating high order. Instead, the warhead duds. Maverick F is a naval variant of the D/G model (IIR) currently in use by the U.S. Navy. It also uses the 300-pound penetrator warhead. Maverick G model essentially has the same guidance system as the D, with some software modifications that track larger targets. The G model's major difference is its heavyweight penetrator warhead, while Maverick B and D models employ the shaped-charge warhead. Maverick H model uses an optical Charged Coupled Device (CCD) guidance system. The CCD system is an upgrade of the old TV system used in the A and B models. The CCD camera provides improved haze penetration, increased target contrast and longer range target identification; and improves the missiles’ ability to maintain centroid track steering when locked onto very small targets. The H model, operated much like the other Maverick variants, contains the shaped charge warhead used on the A, B and D models. 2-1 FOUO Maverick K model uses the H’s CCD guidance system and the heavyweight penetrator warhead used on the E and G models.

Description: The missile is a rocket-propelled, laser guided, supersonic weapon designed to defeat individual hard point targets. It consists of a guidance section housing a semi-active laser seeker, a warhead section containing either a conical shaped charge with a forward precursor warhead (AGM-114K/K2) or a blast-fragmentation/thermobaric warhead (AGM-114M/N), a propulsion (rocket motor) section, and a control section. To expand the Hellfire target set to include softer targets, the Army has added an external fragmenting sleeve to the K-2 variant resulting in the K-2A variant. The USAF delivery platform for the Hellfire is the MQ-1B Predator and MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Other delivery platforms include Marine Corps helicopter AH-1W/Z Cobra, the U.S. Army AH-64D Apache Longbow, OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, the AH-6A Little Bird helicopters, as well as the Navy/Army H-60 series helicopters. Hellfire provides precision striking power against tanks, armored personnel carriers, air defense sites, patrol boats, bunkers, buildings, non-tactical vehicles, personnel, and slow-moving fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Characteristics: CRD Weapons Code M14KA AGM-114K, K2 and K-2A M14MA AGM-114M M14PB The Hellfire AGM-114P-2 missile (1410-WH47) differs from the "K" by supporting a digital communication link to the launcher and by the replacement of the attitude gyro. That digital communication link provides targeting data to the missile and enables the missile to inertial-navigate, acquire targets, and hit targets with extremely large lateral offset angles. M14PA The AGM-114P-2A Hellfire (1410-WH48) is identical to the P-2 missile except it has a sleeve around the warhead that increases the fragmentation characteristics. M14PC The AGM-114P-2B Hellfire (1410-WH49) is identical to the P-2A missile except it has a “heavy” sleeve around the warhead that the metallic composition is denser to increase the fragmentation characteristics. M14NA M36E3 The AGM-114N Hellfire (1410-WF96), the N missile, has a metal augmented charge (MAC) (thermobaric) blast frag warhead with time delay fuze.

Description: JASSM is a precision cruise missile designed for launch from outside area defenses to kill hard, medium-hardened, soft and area type targets. The weapon is capable of attacking both fixed and relocatable targets at ranges beyond enemy air defenses. The AGM-158A-2 contains a Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM). Initial production (Lot 1) AGM 158A missiles do not contain Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM). SAASM was incorporated into Lot 2 and beyond and missiles are identified as AGM-158A-2 (a block upgrade). Although distinguished by NSN and marking, missiles are interchangeable and as such, NSNs are linked (Master/Sub) and the Complete Round Code (CRC) is the same for both. AGM-158B, the extended range (ER) variant is being developed. It retains the same outer mold line of the basic missile. Key design differences are additional fuel and different engine which combined provide a significant increase to its operation range.

Description: The Active Denial System (ADS) uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy to stop, deter and turn back an advancing adversary from a relatively long range. The specific range is classified, but the current ADS hardware can engage a single individual at a distance that outranges small arms fire. The Active Denial System uses a transmitter to send a narrow beam of 95 GHz electromagnetic energy towards an identified subject. Traveling at the speed of light, the energy reaches the subject and is absorbed in a very thin layer of tissue less than 1/64 of an inch deep. The absorbed energy quickly heats up water molecules in this thin layer of tissue, causing the body‟s nerve endings to signal an intense burning sensation. An individual feels this burning sensation until the transmitter is shut off or when the individual moves out of the beam. A 2-second burst from the system can heat a thin layer under the skin to a temperature of 130° F. On being engaged with the ADS beam, the pain reflex makes an individual pull away automatically in less than a second. However, because only a very thin layer of tissue is being heated, the total energy needed per unit area is actually small substantially less than the threshold for causing permanent injury. An individual would have to stay in the beam for more than an order of magnitude longer before it caused a burn to the skin. Applications include: - Disperse a crowd - Direct/contain/stop a crowd - Separate belligerents/isolate individuals - Distract an individual or group - Render an individual incapable of performing an activity - Deny an area to personnel - Separate combatants/non-combatants in open area - Control access/exit to a facility or structure - Clear an open area - Deter/warn away attackers/intruders - Stop/delay/disrupt attackers/intruders including those inside moving vehicles/boats Characteristics: Currently there are three sets of ADS hardware: (1) System 0 is a 100 kW system that is a fixed site, AC-powered system; (2) System 1 is a mobile 100 kW self-contained system, mounted on a hybrid electric High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) chassis; and (3) System 2 is a ruggedized, transportable (on HEMTT or similar trucks), self-contained system built into 463L compatible containers. This hardware was developed and extensively field tested under the ADS Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD), which was successfully completed in FY07. General characteristics include: - Frequency: 95 GHz - Operation: Capable of continuous operation; nominal engagements are typically less than 5 seconds in duration. Given duty limits, magazine depth is constrained only by vehicle fuel capacity. - Aperture size: ~2 meters - Range: Classified; out-ranges small arms fire 3-1 FOUO - Target identification and designation: Visible and IR optical sensors, bore sighted, on the center of the 95 GHz beam. Operator executes aiming and firing. Capable of engaging single individuals and small groups at range without affecting other nearby personnel. Carriage Options: Hybrid-HMMWV chassis: System 1 is currently at Kirtland AFB under AFRL/RDHA operations and continues to do training, assessment, demonstration, and research activities. 463L Pallet compatible containers: System 2 (transportable on HEMTT-type platforms) completed government evaluation (including successful C130 loading/transport test) and was delivered to the government in late FY08. It is currently awaiting deployment decisions. The services are interested in integrating the ADS technology on to a Mine Resistant-Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. System concepts are also being considered for airborne applications. Within AFRL, component technology development is underway to enable a 2.5 MW airborne Active Denial System, intended to provide substantially greater range in a gunship-type application. A demonstration of integrated technologies for this application, on a ground-based test stand, is planned for FY15. Technology alternatives are also being evaluated to reduce the weight of the current 100 kW system by 50%, with the goal to enable more modular configurations and possibly rotary wing aircraft (unfunded). Contractor / Status: Contractor - Multiple Status Successfully completed ACTD with residual hardware/capability; Bridge Program out of AAC working FY12 POM and other preparations, AFRL technology for longer-range and lighter weight systems is in or just entering development. Management/Engineering: AAC/808 ARSG, Eglin AFB, FL AFRL/RD, Kirtland AFB, NM Technical Order: TBD ADS ACTD Hardware System Concept ADS System 2 MRAP Active Denial System 3-2 FOUO Nomenclature: TBD Name: Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) Capability: Airborne precision engagement of tactical ground targets. Description: The Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) is a high energy laser system, based on a Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser (COIL) device, installed in a NC-130H aircraft. The ATL effort began as an Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) that was concluded 30 September 2008. The ATL effort was transitioned to the Air Force and is being managed by the Air Armament Center (AAC) as an Extended User Evaluation (EUE). The objective of the EUE is to demonstrate the military utility of an airborne tactical laser weapon against ground targets. The ATL will provide enhanced capabilities by increasing targeting precision, decreasing collateral damage, and reducing reconstitution costs. It will also serve as a springboard for future directed energy technology development. The large aperture (50 cm), stabilized beam control system and sensors will be capable of high-resolution imagery of the target area, providing an unprecedented capability for long-range situational awareness. During the EUE, ATL testing will concentrate on exercising and understanding system performance as a function of engagement range, altitude, bearing to the target, and atmospheric/weather conditions. This testing will also evaluate the ISR capabilities of the ATL optical system and help develop contingency operations (CONOPS)/Tactics Techniques and Procedures (TTP) for airborne tactical laser weapons. Characteristics: The current ATL ACTD system has the following general characteristics: - Laser power: Classified - Aperture diameter: 50 cm, in a retractable turret on the bottom of the aircraft - Wavelength: 1.315 µm - Residual beam jitter on target: less than 5 micro-radians - Overall system weight: approximately 40,000 lbs. (C-130 payload) - Nominal laser shot duration: 6 seconds - Total lase time available: approximately 36 seconds, sufficient for 6 nominal laser shots - Recycle time between laser shots: approximately 4 minutes - Target recognition and aimpoint designation/maintenance: operator executed, using a stabilized, high-resolution target image in real time, provided by precision optical line-of-sight stabilization, high-bandwidth target tracking, and high-resolution optical sensors in visible and MWIR wavelength bands. Carriage Options: NC-130 aircraft. A goal of on-going and planned technology development and demonstration programs (see above) is to both improve laser system performance and to significantly reduce overall system weight, to enable a tactical laser weapon system for a next-generation gunship application, at a size/weight which allows the necessary gunship sensors, communications, and combat equipment plus still allows room for additional weapons besides the laser system. 3-3 FOUO Contractor / Status: Contractor - Prime contractor for the ATL EUE is The Boeing Company Status - (as of March 2009) - Weapon system has been integrated and flight tested in nonlasing mode. The initial air-to-ground high power target engagements are planned for June 2009. Technology development under AFRL, DARPA, and other service‟s investment is planned to provide technology which can support spiral development of the ATL laser system (if funding is available). Efforts are underway to improve COIL device and beam control technology in order to increase COIL device power, increase magazine depth, reduce the time between laser shots, allow re-generation of spent laser fuels after a mission, and increase laser spot intensity on target (which allows an increase in lethal range). In the longer term, the development and scaling of several electric laser concepts, along with the development of prime power and thermal management technologies, should enable the upgrade to the ATL to install a higherpower electric laser. Along with the integration of advanced beam control technologies, this should increase the ATL lethal range, greatly increase the number of laser shots possible per mission, and reduce logistics requirements. Finally, the performance and scalability of nextgeneration electric laser and tactical beam control technology is planned to be demonstrated in integrated ground testing, enabling further improvements in tactical laser system performance and a significant reduction (greater than a factor of 2) in laser weapon system size and weight.

Description: The ABL weapon system consists of a megawatt-class high-energy, chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) mounted on a modified 747-400F (freighter) aircraft to detect, track and destroy theater ballistic missiles in their boost phase of flight. ABL also can pass information on launch sites, target tracks and predicted impact points to other layers of the global ballistic missile defense system. A crew of four, including pilot and copilot, would be required to operate the airborne laser, which would patrol in pairs at high altitude, about 40,000 feet, flying in orbits over friendly territory, scanning the horizon for the plumes of rising missiles. Capable of autonomous operation, the ABL would acquire and track missiles in the boost phase of flight, illuminating the missile with a tracking laser beam while computers measure the distance and calculate its course and direction. After acquiring and locking onto the target, a second laser - with weapons-class strength - would fire a three- to five-second burst from a turret located in the 747's nose, destroying the missiles over the launch area. The Boeing Company provides the aircraft, battle management and overall systems integration and testing. Northrop Grumman supplies the high-energy laser, and Lockheed Martin provides the beam control/fire control system.

Description: The joint Combatant Commands are facing increased limitations in creating effects on the adversary due to the desire to reduce casualties, preserve historic, religious, and health care facilities, and limit escalation. This has created a growing list of theater no-strike facilities, which can shelter an adversary‟s war making systems. With the increased use of electronic command, control, communications, and computers (C4) to provide battlespace awareness, and command force movements, an adversary may become more vulnerable to non-kinetic techniques to degrade, disrupt or destroy their warfighting systems. The Joint Combatant Commands require a non-kinetic option to engage these systems. The Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) will provide a multi-shot and multi-target HPM missile system to negate electronic systems that play a key role in present day and future conflicts. The CHAMP JCTD will integrate, demonstrate, and assess an HPM multi-shot and multi-target cruise missile to degrade, damage, or destroy electronic systems. For this JCTD, a compact HPM payload will be integrated into an appropriate cruise missile to create the HPM cruise missile demonstrator. Five cruise missiles will be produced. One appropriately instrumented cruise missile without the HPM payload will be developed for a flight test to demonstrate delivery, controllability, and fuzing. The remaining four cruise missiles with the integrated HPM payload will be developed for flight testing, demonstration, and HPM effects tests. Of these four HPM cruise missiles, one will be used for HPM effects test on the ground, two shall be used for flight tests, and the remaining one shall be used as a back-up for the flight test. The ground test vehicle will be used to address target effectiveness and collateral damage to surrounding buildings by characterizing key sensitivities such as (target distance, attack geometry, target construction, physical/functional layout, etc). The ground testing could also provide key, cost effective data against targets not demonstrated in the flight tests. The CHAMP JCTD will consist of two Operational Utility Assessments (OUAs). The first OUA will demonstrate: 1) the ability to accurately navigate to a target building; and 2) illuminate the building to ensure effects on the internal electronic components at a distance from the target to be a viable military option. The second OUA will demonstrate the ability to attack multiple targets by illuminating two target buildings geographically separated in addition to demonstrating the same abilities as in the first OUA. Characteristics: The HPM cruise missile will have the following general characteristics: - Frequency: 1.3 GHz - Operation: Capable of multi-shots and multi-targets. Magazine depth is constrained only by cruise missile fuel capacity. - Effective range: Classified Carriage Options: Aircraft: B-52H 3-6 FOUO Contractor / Status: Contractor - TBD Status - The CHAMP Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) will be awarded April 09 timeframe. Management/Engineering: Technical Manager: AFRL/RDH, Kirtland AFB, NM Operational Manager: PACOM, Camp Smith, HI Transition Manager: ACC/A8D, Langley AFB, VA Technical Order: TBD NOTIONAL CHAMP Concept of Employment 3-7 FOUO Nomenclature: TBD Name: DE Airbase/Area Protection Capability: Provides protection from all aerial threats to an airbase or perimeter from rockets, artillery and missiles (RAM), Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and cruise missiles. Description: MANPADS have become a significant threat to military and civilian aircraft. Illicit trade of MANPADS and their use by non-state organizations is well documented. Because of predictable flight paths, slow speed, and high Infrared (IR) signatures, large aircraft are particularly at risk during landing and takeoff. Encounters with MANPADS threats since 2000 have demonstrated the need to protect large body aircraft, rotor wing aircraft, and fighter aircraft. The validated threat in the US, at Tinker AFB, clearly highlights the need to address this growing problem. Examples of MANPADS threats include the FIM-92 Stinger, SA-7 Strella, SA-14, SA-16, Blowpipes, and SA-18. The Department of Defense (DOD) has made progress in addressing the MANPADS threat by employing on board defensive systems. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is addressing the issue by investigating the use of current systems employed by DOD. However, these systems cannot defend against all threats. Given current fiscal and technological limitations it is unfeasible to equip all military and civilian aircraft with on board counter-MANPADS protection systems. RAM has continued to be a constant threat to our deployed forces. Additionally, UAVs have recently become a significant threat identifying our soldier‟s positions and movements and eventually being armed and attacking those positions. To defend against these threats the DOD community is evaluating the feasibility of developing a ground-based airbase and area Protection capability. The ground-based Airbase Protection System using a directed energy (DE) defeat mechanism would defeat the more robust threats and protect our forces and aircraft from these threats. The ground-based Airbase Protection system consists of three interconnected elements: integrated threat detect, declare and track system, a command and control system (C2), and the DE defeat mechanism. Currently USAF has decided to use a high-energy laser (HEL) for the DE kill mechanism. Characteristics: 2008 tests at Tonopah Test Range against MANPADS and China Lake at a Black Dart V against numerous UAVs showed that we can detect, track and hold a low-powered laser on these threats. In 2009 plans are to integrate a HEL capable of defeating the softer UAVs and Black Dart VI. Progress will be updated as greater laser power capability matures. Carriage Options: None, this is a ground-based defense system inside the perimeter of the airbase or area of regard. Contractor / Status: Numerous contractors have been working this capability and will provide names once a more mature system goes into testing and demonstration. Management/Engineering: AFRL/RD, Kirtland AFB, NM AAC/XR, Eglin AFB, FL 3-8 FOUO 3-9 FOUO Nomenclature: TBD Capability: Precision engagement of tactical targets. Name: Tactical Relay Mirror System Description: Fundamentally, a relay mirror system is a precision optical system with a receive telescope and a transmit telescope, integrated with an intervening beam control system. The relay mirror system accepts a high energy laser beam from a distant laser source and then re-directs the beam, along a different line of sight, to an intended target. The Tactical Relay Mirror System concept deploys a relay mirror system suspended from a moderate-altitude aerostat. The laser source is a ground-based high energy laser system. A Tactical Airborne Relay Mirror System can be used in a variety of missions, from 24/7 ISR to attacking time-critical targets. The relay effectively puts the High Energy Laser (HEL) source at the location of the relay, increasing the laser‟s field of regard, and allowing the high-value HEL source to be located where it is safer from attack and more easily maintained and re-supplied. With a cooperative laser beacon onboard the relay platform, high performance adaptive optics can be used on the uplink to the relay, maximizing the relay throughput. Thus, a tactical airborne relay extends the range, field of regard, and target set of ground, sea-based, or airborne HEL sources. Relays also enhance the self-defense capabilities of HEL sources, from airborne attack, by providing alternate engagement geometries for the beam and thus enabling high aspect-angle (“crossing-shot”) engagements with the airborne threats. A relay can reduce the HEL beam propagation distance through turbulent, high-density air, such as in maritime environments, and allow high performance adaptive optics to be used on the uplink to the relay. The large transmit aperture can provide high resolution, persistent ISR, while an onboard low power laser can be used for active remote sensing, to identify targets through obscurants and camouflage, and to detect hostile Electro-Optic (EO) targeting systems. A pulsed laser onboard the relay can be used to form a laser “fence” to detect low observable air vehicles, such as low-flying cruise missiles, from their wake or hard body returns. Validated hostile EO systems, cruise missiles, or ground targets could be attacked at optimal times by relaying a HEL beam, damaging or destroying the target, or holding it (ground targets) in place until conventional munitions can be employed. Using a relay can also reduce the impact of clouds on HEL weapon access to a target since the relay (and possibly the source, if it is mobile) can be positioned to avoid transmission through them. The laser weapon system could also provide significant capability for long-range target identification in addition to laser tracking and designation for smart weapons delivery. Potential targets/applications include the following - Ballistic targets: Destroy rockets, artillery, and mortars - Airborne targets: Destroy cruise missiles, UAVs, helicopters, MANPADS - Ground fixed or mobile targets: Destroy, degrade, or delay ground targets, including movers. 3-10 FOUO Characteristics: The Tactical Relay Mirror System currently under development is planned with the following characteristics: - Platform altitude: 2,500 to 15,000 feet - Aperture: 30 cm - Relay platform weight: 2,000 lbs. - Laser beam pointing accuracy: 3 microradians - Adaptive optics: uplink only - Laser source power level: up to 60 kW - Range: up to 20 km (target and laser source dependent) - Time on station: up to 2 weeks Carriage Options: Moderate-altitude aerostat; UAV Contractor / Status: Contractor - The Tactical Relay Mirror System is currently under development through a contract with The Boeing Company. Status - Important milestones are integrating laboratory testing in FY09 and low-power integrated field testing in FY10. If a suitable high-power laser source is available, high-power field testing and lethality demonstrations could be conducted in FY11. A concept for mid-term tactical relay mirror spiral development would reduce the weight of the relay mirror payload so that it could be integrated on a UAV, such as the MQ-9 Reaper. This would increase the employment flexibility and capability because the relay mirror system could be easily moved to an advantageous position for engagement in a selected target area.

Description: The Standoff Intelligence Detection (SID) program has produced a Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) laser-imager for nighttime high-resolution imaging. This technology has been incorporated into an L-3 Wescam MX-20 IR/EO turret ball, now known as the MX-20DLI (Designator/Laser Imager). This technology is described as Flash Laser Detection and Ranging (LADAR) that uses a short-pulse laser to flash-light a scene to produce a short-exposure controlledillumination intensity image. These images are photographic-like and are displayed as real-time video. The MX-20DLI contains a Military Specification (MILSPEC) Northrop Grumman laser and Intevac Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. The wavelength chosen for imaging is “eye-safe” and cannot be seen by any other military sensor such as Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) or Night Vision Goggles (NVGs). In addition, the laser can be used to designate a target while the sensor images the scene. The SWIR laser-imager is meant to enhance nighttime imaging and complement the passive FLIR sensor with additional intelligence gathering capability. Applications for this technology include: - Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) - Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) - Positive Identification (PID) - Reconnaissance, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition (RISTA) - Detect, Classify, and Positively Identify - Laser designation Characteristics: The current MX-20DLI prototype was designed for installation into a DHC-6 DeHavilland Twin Otter with a crew of three: turret operator, SWIR operator, and mission lead/communications officer. This prototype has been successfully flight tested in 2006 and 2007 resulting in over 100 flight hours. - Sensor Suite: Simultaneous 4-Field of View (FOV) FLIR, 4-FOV SWIR Laser-Imager, and Wide-FOV Color TV - Operational Ranges: 10 km laser imaging, 15 km passive imaging, and 10 nm laser designation - INTEL Image Quality: National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale (NIIRS) 5-8 depending on wavelength and range MX-20DLI Turret MX-20DLI mounted onto DHC-6 DeHavilland Twin Otter 3-13 FOUO Carriage Options: This system was incorporated into a MILSPEC MX-20 so that it could be easily integrated into a myriad of platforms. The MX-20DLI prototype was designed to operate in a DHC-6 DeHavilland Twin Otter. There are currently over 250 MX-20s in the DOD inventory on the following platforms: C-130 and P-3C. In addition, the Army has funded AFRL/DES to purchase two MX-20DLIs to upgrade their Persistent Threat Detection Systems (PTDS) that are deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom OEF. The PTDS consists of a tethered aerostat with multiple payloads to provide persistent ISR for base defense. For additional customer base, SID is developing the same capability into an MX-15, which is a smaller version of the MX-20 that can be fitted onto many more platforms. The DOD inventory includes more than 600 MX-15s installed on the C-130, MQ-1BPredator, P-3C, and C-12 and is capable of fitting onto just about any rotary-wing.

It is capable of fielded deployment for non-lethal force protection, crowd control, and access denial at a far greater range than small arms fire and current less-than-lethal options. The PHaSR uses a laser device to both dazzle and/or cause an effect severe enough to disrupt hostile actions. The PHaSR system is the first man-portable laser weapon of its kind. High-efficiency non-lethal semiconductor and fiber lasers and innovative thermal management technology are keys to this advanced non-lethal weapon.

The goal is to close the “weapons engagement zone gap” by disrupting the adversary‟s kill-chain prior to hostile actions. The ACCM uses ocular obstruction of enemy combatants approaching CSAR aircraft. A laser light disorients and disrupts the aim of ground adversaries firing small arms at an aircraft. This technology is commonly referred to as a “dazzler.” A nonlethal, coaxial laser works in conjunction with helicopter gunnery.

Description: The MK 56 Moored Anti-Ship Warfare (ASW) mine (the oldest still in use) was developed in 1966. The MK 56, a 2000-pound aircraft-laid moored mine containing an explosive charge of 360 lbs. of HBX-3, designed specifically for effectiveness against highspeed and deep-operating submarines. Consisting of a nonmagnetic stainless-steel case and a cast-steel anchor, the Mk 56 is equipped with flight gear for launching from aircraft. When laid, the mine sinks to the bottom where case and anchor separation take place. Should the mine become embedded in bottom sediment before case/anchor separation and mooring take place, a slow burning propellant in the anchor is ignited which frees the mine from any mud it may be buried in. As the case raises, a hydrostat, which clamps to an 18-foot loose bight in the mooring cable, senses the preset mooring depth and falls free to release the loose bight, thus permitting the tension on the cable to relax and cause a pawling mechanism in the anchor to lock and stop further cable payout. Should the mooring mechanism allow the mine to rise to a depth which is too shallow, the case will scuttle. This feature reduces the possibility of compromise and eliminates a navigational hazard. Scuttling will also occur on sterilization or if the mooring cable breaks. Characteristics: Weight (lbs.) Length (in.)

Name: Marine Location Marker Description: MK 58 MOD 1 Marine Location Marker is designed for day or night use in any condition calling for long-burning, smoke and flame reference-point marking on the ocean's surface. In addition to being used for antisubmarine warfare, it is used for search-and-rescue operations, man-overboard markings, and as a target for practice bombing at sea. The marker produces a yellow flame and white smoke for a minimum of 40 minutes and a maximum of 60 minutes. It is visible for at least 3 miles under normal operating conditions. The MK 58 MOD 1 marine location marker consists of a cylindrical tin can. The can contains two pyrotechnic candles of a red phosphorus composition. The ignition end of the marker has three holes-two for smoke and flame emission and one for water to enter the MK 72 MOD 1 seawater-activated battery. Adhesive foil disks hermetically seal the two emission holes. A reinforced adhesive foil strip with a rectangular pull ring hermetically seals the battery cavity hole. The adhesive foil seals are protected during handling and shipping by a replaceable polyethylene protective cover. When the marker is released from the bomb rack, the arming wire retains the pull ring and removes the foil strip covering the battery's cavity. When submerged, the Mk 72 MOD 1 battery is activated by seawater. Current from the battery initiates a MK 13 electric squib, which ignites the starter composition of the first pyrotechnic candle. The composition ignites the starter pellet, which, in turn, ignites the first candle. When the first candle is nearly burned out, its heat ignites the transfer time fuze, which carries ignition to the second candle starter composition. This starter composition initiates the second pyrotechnic candle.

Description: The MK 77 MOD 5, 6 Fire Bomb is a thin skinned container of that ruptures on impact and spreads burning fuel gel on surrounding objects. MK 13 Mod 0 igniters are used to ignite the fuel gel mixture upon impact. The Mk-77 is the only fire bomb still in service. The MK 77 is 750-lb.incendiary bomb carrying 110 U.S. gallons of a fuel gel mix which is the direct successor to napalm. The MK-77 is the primary incendiary weapon currently in use by the United States military. Instead of the gasoline and the benzene fuel used in napalm, the MK-77 uses kerosene-based fuel, which has a lower concentration of benzene. The MK-77 has less impact on the environment than napalm. The mixture reportedly also contains an oxidizing agent, making it more difficult to put out once ignited.

Description: The GBU-15 is a 2,000 lb. class guided bomb that uses a MK 84 blast fragment or a BLU-109 penetrating warhead fitted with a set of aerodynamic lifting and control surfaces and either a TV seeker or an IR seeker. The GBU-15 is normally deployed in the indirect mode where a weapon is launched towards the target without lock on. The GBU-15 can be used in the buddy mode where one A/C launches the weapon and the other A/C performs the control functions. The datalink pod transmits command signals to the weapon receiver/transmitter (RxTx) and receives video signal from the weapon RxTx. The command signal allows the WSO to control and redirect the weapon during delivery to the target. The AN/GJM-64 test system tests all GBU-15 and AGM-130 configurations; it is completely menu driven featuring minimal manual operator intervention.

Description: The enhanced versions of the GBU-15 weapon system includes a Global Positioning System/Internal Navigation System (GPS/INS) also known as a GAINS, man-in-the-loop capabilities, and guidance and navigation capability. The primary purpose of the GAINS is to provide enhanced capability in weather. Like the GBU-15 it is normally deployed in the indirect mode where a weapon is launched towards the target without lock on, with the datalink pods transmitting WSO commands and receiving weapon video. The GAINS reduces the WSO workload by allowing the weapon to autonomously fly until the target or target area is within the field of view. The AN/GJM-64 test system tests all EGBU-15 configurations; it is completely menu driven featuring minimal manual operator intervention. The software can be readily modified to facilitate testing/updating of new weapon versions, enhancements, improvements and modification with the AN/GJM-64.

Description: The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a Guidance Set, KMU-556, KMU-557, and KMU-558 Series that converts existing unguided free-fall 2,000 lb bombs, MK 84 and BLU-117, and BLU-109 2000 lb. class warheads into accurate, adverse weather "smart" munitions. The Guidance Set consists of a Tail Kit, which contains an Inertial Navigational System (INS) and a Global Positioning System (GPS), a set of Aerosurfaces and an Umbilical Cover, which allows the JDAM to improve the accuracy of unguided, general purpose bombs in any weather condition. The KMU-5XXB/B configurations are equipped with a Selective Availability AntiSpoofing Module (SAASM) added to existing Tail Kits. The SAASM electronics module is capable of utilizing new GPS security features. The KMU-5XXC/B configurations are equipped with Anti-Jamming (AJ) equipment consisting of a new antenna and associated electronics on the Tail Kit. Anti-Jamming variants allow the JDAM to navigate with precision using GPS signals in regions containing active GPS jamming.

Description: The Paveway IV is currently not in the US Air Force or Navy Inventory. It is a British Royal Air Force 500 lb. class MK 82 general purpose bomb with an Enhanced Paveway II Enhanced Computer Control Group (ECCG) kit. The new ECCG contains a Height of Burst (HOB) sensor enabling airburst fusing options, and an improved Anti-Jam, SAASM (Selective Availability Anti Spoofing Module) compliant GPS receiver. It can be launched either IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) only, given sufficiently good Transfer Alignment, or using GPS guidance. Terminal laser guidance is available in either navigation mode and with airburst fuzing. It is a low-cost, allweather, 24-hour precision bombing capability able to defeat the majority of general-purpose targets. It incorporates an enhanced Mk-82 warhead which, combined with a shock-hardened fuze, enables increased penetration over a standard Mk-82 warhead and can therefore defeat semi-hard targets as well. Post-impact delay settings and airburst height are selectable from the cockpit as are target position and terminal impact/heading angles. The Paveway IV significantly minimizes collateral damage by incorporating a „Late-Arm‟ function, as part of one of the world‟s most advanced fusing systems, to prevent arming of an off-course munition. In addition, the warhead has been designed to meet the latest requirements of NATO Insensitive Munition safety policies. The accuracy of Paveway IV combined with programmable lethal effects, reduces the number of bombs on target which enables a single aircraft to strike more targets in a single pass. On 10 Dec 2008 the UK Ministry of Defense officially declared the Paveway IV as having entered service. Characteristics: Guidance Control Air Foil Group Autopilot Class Weight (lbs.) Length (in.)

Description: The GAU-21 M3M 50 .cal Machine Gun is a weapon system rather than just a machine gun. The system has three parts: The Machine Gun, the Medium Pintle Head (MPH) or “Soft Mount”, and the Cradle, which is used to integrate the weapon into a particular aircraft or vehicle. Three important differences between the MEM and the M@ BMG: 1) it uses an open bolt; 2) has an internal recoil spring, and; 3) significantly longer barrel life (est. 10,000 rounds.) Cook-offs are far less likely to occur and the M3M has only a third as much non-compensated recoil as compared to the M2 BMG. The feed system for the 600 round magazines has been modified to reduce the air stream problem and the barrel has an added flash suppressor.

Description: The M-197 electric cannon is a three-barreled electric Gatling Gun developed primarily for use by U.S. Army and Marine Corps gunships. It is essentially a lightened version of the General Electric M61 Vulcan, with three barrels instead of six. Its maximum rate of fire is one quarter that of the Vulcan, largely to limit its recoil for light aircraft and helicopter use. The M-197 in the AH-1 is mated to an ammunition storage and handling system that has a capacity of 700 rounds of linked M-50 or PGU series 20mm electrically primed ammunition. The M-197 utilizes the M-89 or M-89E1 declutching feeder to delink and feed ammunition into the gun. The M-197 is attached to the A/A49E-7 (V4) turret assembly that provides the sighting, positioning (+/- 110 degrees azimuth and +30/-50 degrees elevation/depression), and firing the gun.

The figure below shows the RCS of a single RR-170 chaff cartridge based on frequency. It shows that the largest RCS occurs at about 3 GHz. However, for the spectrum between 2-18 GHz, which includes most SAM TTRs, the RCS of the RR-170 cartridge is over 50 square meters. Since the typical fighter aircraft RCS varies between 1 and 10 square meters, depending upon frequency and aspect, the RR-170 chaff cartridge should provide a sufficient RCS to mask the aircraft RCS. The Navy’s version is RR-170A/AL with a different NALC (DOCIC) 4W59 NSN 5765-01-262-1157. This is due to the NAVY conducts lot acceptance test on our items there, a new NALC % NSN was developed to ensure Navy conducts these tests when received from the contractor.

The device uses a generic monopulse technique that has been made possible through new monolithic Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) microwave integrated circuit technology. The base end of this case is flanged to fit in counter-bore of an AN/ALE-39 or AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispenser Set (CMDS). The base end of the GEN-X case incorporates a conductive elastomer with acts as a seal for the gases from the impulse cartridge used to dispense the device. The end of the case opposite the flanged base incorporates a coined-end integral to the aluminum case. The major assemblies in the GEN-X are the electronic modules assembly, antenna, battery, and a tail assembly. There are four electronic modules, consisting of monolithic microwave integrated circuits, which perform the basic functions of receiving, amplifying, modulating and transmitting RF energy. The antenna receives and transmits RF energy. The battery is a self-contained, lithium based thermal type that is activated at launch sympathetically by a small primer at the base of the battery. Upon a dispense command, a CCU-136A/A impulse cartridge is initiated by the CMDS and the force of this impulse strikes the primer and initiates the thermal battery. The battery supplies all power to the electrical circuits of the GEN-X. The tail assembly is used to stabilize the decoy's descent. This type of tail is known as a folding wing tail. After the pilot launches the GEN-X, the operation is automatic. The illustration below shows GENX after launch.

The SM-875B consists of a cylindrical plastic case approximately 5.8 inches in length and 1.42 inches in diameter. The base end of the flare case is flanged to fit the counter bore of an AN/ALE-39 or AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispensing Set. The end of the flare case opposite the flanged base is closed with an plastic end cap with an O-ring seal. Internally the SM-875B has small pyrotechnic (MTV based) flare grain, with integral safe & arm bore riding slider mechanism. The flare grain is ignited by igniter pellets within the safe & arm device, which are ignited by the Impulse Cartridge that ejects it from the Dispenser. The SM-875B was developed as a replacement for the previous SM-875A/ALE. This new design will have an igniter (a derivative of the current MJU-32/38 sealed igniter) instead of lighting from the impulse cartridge and a flare grain with effectively 4 times the intensity of the previous SM-875A/ALE. Testing has also shown that this new configuration is visually detectable at much greater distances than the previous training devices, and even has sufficient energy to facilitate use with CATM-9 trainers.

Description: Conventional Strike Missile (CSM) is the Air Force Space Command vision for a weapon system capable of putting conventional payloads precisely on a target within minutes of release order. The key component of CSM is a hypersonic glide payload delivery vehicle designed to deliver and deploy a variety of conventional payloads worldwide. A CSM technology demonstration program provides the opportunity for an initial operating capability using residual assets in the FY13/14 timeframe. Characteristics: The CSM payload delivery vehicle will be capable of carrying ~1000 lbs of environmentally protected munitions or other payloads internally and, following re-entry, directly engage the target or decelerate to the appropriate release speed and altitude to dispense munitions/payloads over/near the target area. The vehicle’s high velocity and maneuvering capability provides the delivery vehicle relative immunity from future surface-to-air and spacebased threats. The booster range, combined with the delivery vehicle’s atmospheric glide capability, provides near global coverage. Additionally, the delivery vehicle’s significant aerodynamic cross-range capability allows compliance with any imposed overflight restrictions and avoids dropping booster stages on land. Carriage Options: Basing: CONUS coastal basing. Potential launch platforms include existing expendable commercial/excess rocket motors or by a tailored non-nuclear legacy booster stack drawn from a “family of motors.” Contractor / Status / Improvements / Special Equipment: Status - An operationally relevant FY12 CSM technology demonstration flight is currently funded in the context of the Congressionally established Defense-Wide Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) Account.

Description: DAGR is a semi-active laser guidance kit that adapts to 2.75-inch/70mm rockets to provide guided-rocket performance comparable to that of the precision-strike laser-guided HELLFIRE II missile. DAGR is being developed by Lockheed Martin as a non-developmental item to fill the gap between unguided rockets and the HELLFIRE weapon system by providing a precisionstrike, air-to-ground weapon for non-armored or lightly-armored high-value targets close to civilian assets or friendly forces, while limiting collateral damage. DAGR integrates proven seeker, guidance, electronics, integrated flight simulation, and countermeasures technologies developed on HELLFIRE and Joint Common Missile (JCM) to provide a highly lethal and precise 2.75-inch/70mm weapon. Our baseline DAGR guidance kit offers 2.75-inch/70mm rockets lock-on-after-launch and lock-on-before-launch capability, target handoff, enhanced built-in test, and laser coding from the cockpit. Its off-axis capability increases the engagement envelope, providing additional field of view for angle-of-attack, moving targets, and wind. Accompanied by Lockheed Martin’s 4-pack launcher, the DAGR system allows quick and easy integration on all HELLFIRE platforms including Cobra, Apache, Seahawk, Kiowa and Tiger helicopters. Fully compatible with the M299 and M310 “smart” launchers, DAGR increases launcher load out by up to four times and provides single-switch operational flexibility, drawing upon a payload that includes DAGR as well as multiple variants of HELLFIRE for multi-mission capability. Additionally, due to DAGR’s compatibility with the HELLFIRE weapon system, the usual resources for fielding a new weapon system – development, training, additional equipment and force structure – are avoided.

Description: The 5.56mm (0.223 inch) ammunition is typically fired from the M16 series rifle, M4 series carbine, and the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW). This ammunition can be deployed as individual rounds, within 10 or 30-round magazines, or linked by M27 links for firing from an ammunition box. The following are 5.56mm cartridges used by the Air Force: M193 Ball Cartridge has a 56 grain, gilding metal-jacketed bullet with a lead antimony core. It is identified by a non-painted tip. Performs best when fired in 1 in 12” barrel twist guns (M249), but can be used in 1 in 7” barrel twist with reduced range. DODIC A071 M196 Tracer Cartridge has a 54 grain bullet without a steel penetrator and is identifiable by a painted red tip. Used for observation, incendiary effect, and signaling. Like the M193, works best in a 1 in 12” twist barrel. DODIC A068 M199 Dummy Cartridge can be identified by the six grooves along the side of the case beginning about one-half inch from its head. It contains no propellant or primer. The primer well is open to prevent damage to the firing pin. The dummy round is used during mechanical training, dry-fire exercises, and function checks. DODIC A060 M200 Blank Cartridge has no projectile but is used during training to simulate live ammunition noises and flash. It is identifiable by a rose petal crimp. DODICs A075, A080 M855 Ball Cartridge has a 62 grain gilding, metal-jacketed, lead antimony core bullet with a steel penetrator. It is identifiable by a green tip. The steel penetrator increases its helmetpenetration range substantially more than the M193 round. This is the NATO standard round. It is optimized to shoot in a 1 in 7” twist barrel. It is effective against personnel and light materials. DODICs A059, A062, A064 M856 Tracer Cartridge has a 63 grain bullet with a lead antimony slug. It is identified by an orange tip. The tracer is used for adjustments after observation, incendiary effects, and signaling. This tracer round has a longer tracer column and an improved pyrotechnic mixture, which results in an increased daylight trace range compared to the 5.56mm M196 tracer round. When tracer rounds are fired, they are usually mixed with ball ammunition in a ratio of four ball (or armor piercing) rounds to one tracer round. DODICs A063, A064, AA02 M862 Short Range Training Ammunition (SRTA) provides a restricted range training alternative to M193/M855 service rounds. The 5.56mm SRTA has a maximum range of 250 meters; an effective range of 25 meters (trajectory match and round to round dispersion comparable to the service ammunition); and provides a functional capability when used in the M16A2 Rifle with the M2 Training Bolt. DODIC A065 M995 Armor Piercing (AP) Cartridge is a 5.56mm Armor Piercing (AP) cartridge that provides an increased AP capability over the M855 ball round. DODICs AA01, AA02 15-1 FOUO Frangible Cartridge (Reduced Ricochet Limited Penetration (RRLP)) is a round used for training only. This round features a lead-free bullet and nylon composite filler, with or without a partial copper jacket; a lead-free powder, and lead-free primer; making it a 100% non-toxic round. The bullet is meant to break up on impact - eliminating ricochet and penetration hazards. DODICs AA40, AA85 Mk 262 Special Ball Cartridge is for AFSOC use only. It features a 77-grain Sierra MatchKing bullet. It is a long range round and enables engagements out to 600 meters (800 possible depending on conditions). It greatly enhances the capability of the M16 or M4A1 Carbine.

Description: The 20mm PELE Round uses the same case, primer, and propellant as the PGU-27series cartridge. It has a black non-explosive projectile. Upon impact with a suitably hard target, the aluminum nose cap is crushed and the internal plastic core is compressed creating a very high internal pressure within the projectile. The resultant pressure increases until catastrophic failure of the steel body occurs which in turn creates a lateral velocity of the projectile body fragments as the projectile enters the target, causing damage. No explosive means are used in the fragmentation of the projectile. Characteristics: Caliber: 20mm Length: Total Weight: Total Projectile Explosive Fuze: 6.6 in. 0.56 lb. 0.23 lb.

Description: The PGU-28 Semi-Armor Piercing High Explosive Incendiary (SAPHEI) projectile is machined from 15B27 steel bar stock and then hardened to improve performance against lightly armored targets such as APCs and armored helicopters. It functions on impact, but is not fuzed. The projectile consists of two incendiary compounds, High Explosive (HE), zirconium pellet, copper rotating band, aluminum nose, and a support disk. The nose ignites the more energetic body incendiary, which in turn, initiates the Composition A4 HE. The burning of the pyrotechnic material produces a delay, allowing the projectile to penetrate into the target before detonation. The HE reaction splinters the hardened steel body of the projectile and ignites the zirconium pellet providing a long, persistent spark for improved capability to start fires.

Description: The 2.75 inch Folding Fin Aerial Rocket (FFAR) system was designed by the U.S. Navy after World War II to replace the 5 inch rocket system. It fills a variety of roles against a wide spectrum of targets. The MK 66 2.75 inch rocket motor was designed to provide a common 2.75-inch motor for helicopters and high performance aircraft. The motor tube is impact extruded from aluminum stock and has an integral forward bulkhead. Fins are spring-activated to open and lock on launch. The MK 66 Mod 4 motor is an improvement on the MK66 and is triservice compatible. Changes include a new E3 filtering system located under the contact band, a new initiator, a new igniter, and a new stabilizing rod and attachment assembly. The new ignition mechanism reduces variations in ignition delay time. The bare MK 66 Mod 4 motor is considered Hazards and Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) safe without special precautions. The MK 66 Mod 4 motor is also considered safe in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) environments. Lighter weight launchers have replaced the older models while allowing more rockets to be carried. Selectable and programmable fuze options are now available through rocket management and control systems from various aircraft cockpits. Multiple types of warheads provide a solution to many tactical situations within the battle area. To better depict the varied capabilities within the large selection of warheads available, an additional identification, or name, is now associated with the 2.75 inch rocket weapon system, Hydra 70. The word Hydra refers to the nine-headed serpent of Greek mythology, the 70 indicates the number of millimeters when converted from 2.75 inches.

The safety and arming device forward of the booster housing contains an unbalanced rotor. Upon acceleration of the rocket at firing, a weight setback occurs in the unbalance rotor assembly that houses the primer and detonator. This set back places the fuze into an armed condition when the rocket has traveled approximately 43 to 92 meters from the launcher. Externally the M427 PD fuze is identical to the M423 fuze. The M427 differs from the M423 in that its internal construction is designed to produce the longer arming time and arming distance required for launch from fixed-wing aircraft.

It is a remote set airburst fuze providing a variable range from 500 to 7,200 meters. The fuze is remotely set and charged in the cockpit through an umbilical assembly that is run through the warhead and connected externally to the rocket launcher. The safe and arming (S&A) mechanism prevents the fuze from being charged if it is in the partially armed or fully armed position. The fuze does not have an internal battery; instead the remote fuze setter in the aircraft supplies energy at the time of fuze setting. The energy stored in the capacitor will operate the electronic timer and fire the M84 electronic detonator. The charging cycle takes place approximately 50 milliseconds prior to rocket motor firing. The fuze begins timing at first motion of the rocket and will function at the prescribed time. Note: If the fuze is set and the motor fails to ignite, it may be loaded into another tube and fired. The fuze may be set a second time; however, it will function longer than set time and should not be used for accurate measurements. For accuracy, 10 days should elapse before resetting. If the fuze has been charged, fired, and duds, it will take approximately 45 days for the charge to decay so that the fuze is safe.

Description: The MPSM HE warhead provides improved lethal effectiveness against area targets such as light armor, wheeled vehicles, materiel, and personnel. It has a plastic nose cone assembly, an aluminum warhead case, an integral fuze, an expulsion charge, and nine M73 sub-munitions. The primary warhead fuze (M439) is remotely set with the ARCS, MFD or RMS to provide range (time of flight) from 500 meters to approximately 7000 meters. On the AH-1 the RMS is programmable only from 700 meters to 6900 meters. Initial forward motion of the rocket at firing initiates fuze timing. At fuze time at a point before and above the target, depending on the launch angle and range, the expulsion charge is initiated. The MPSMs are separated by ejection, and arming occurs when the Ram Air Decelerator (RAD) deploys. The RAD virtually stops forward velocity and stabilizes the decent of the SM. An M230 omni-directional fuze with an M55 detonator is used on each SM and is designed to function regardless of impact angle Each SM has a steel body that has a 3.2-ounce shaped charge of Composition B for armor penetration in excess of four inches of Rolled Homogeneous Steel (RHA). The SM is internally scored to optimize fragments against personnel and materiel. Upon detonation, the shaped charge penetrates in line with its axis and the SM body explodes into high velocity fragments (approximately 195 at 10 grains each up to 5,000 feet per second) to defeat soft targets. The fuzed weight of the M261 is 13.6 pounds.

Name: White Phosphorous (WP) Description: The M156 White Phosphorous (WP) warhead consists of a steel body, a base, and an adapter, brazed together. The base is an extruded steel cup threaded for attachment to the rocket motor. The steel adapter, at the forward end of the warhead, is threaded to receive the fuze and also serves to retain the burster charge tube. The M156 WP warhead is primarily used for target marking and incendiary purposes. It ballistically matches the M151 and is of similar construction. Filler for the M156 is 2.2 pounds of white phosphorous. A burster tube, with a charge of 85 grams of Composition B, extends into white phosphorus charge. A lead-in explosive in the fuze, consisting of a 97 mg pellet of RDX, ignites the booster pellet, also in the fuze. The booster pellet, in turn, detonates the burster charge. On detonation, the high explosive ruptures the warhead, dispersing the white phosphorous, generating a white smoke cloud. It provides a smoke marking signal for approximately 2 minutes depending upon wind conditions. The M156 can be used effectively for target marking in open dry terrain and in jungle terrain. The approximate weight of the fuzed warhead is 9.7 pounds. The M156 WP warhead uses M423 and M427 point detonating fuzes.

The MK 71 is also used to mark ground targets. Description: The unguided Zuni Folding Fin Aerial Rocket (FFAR) was designed by the US Navy for air-tosurface and air-to-air applications. It can be fired from fixed-wing and rotary-winged aircraft. The steel nozzle expansion cone contains flutes that cause the rocket to spin during burn, thus stabilizing it at all launch velocities. The MK 71 Mods 1 and 2 rocket motors are used in all configurations of the Zuni FFAR, where as the type of fuze and warhead combination is determined by mission requirement. MK 71 rocket motors consist of the following principle parts: motor tube, igniter, MK 88 Mod 0 propellant grain, stabilizing rod, and nozzle and fin assembly. In addition, an electromagnetic radiation barrier and shielding band are used as safety features. The primary difference between the MK 71 Mod 1 and MK 71 Mod 2 rocket motors is that the MK 71 Mod 1 is classified as ESD and HERO susceptible; whereas, the MK 71 Mod 2 is certified as ESD and HERO safe due to a new ignition circuit.

Other principal uses are fragmentation, mining, and blast effect. Currently, it is primarily used in the training role. Description: The M107 projectile is a hollow steel shell filled with high explosive (HE) fill. Earlier models contained an explosive charge of either TNT or Composition-B. There is also a supplementary charge which has 0.36 lb. of TNT contained in an aluminum liner in the fuze cavity. A swaged gilding metal rotating band encircles the shell casing near the base and is protected for shipment by a grommet before loading. A specially designed threaded lifting plug closes the cavity at the nose of the projectile to prevent damage during handling and stowage. The projectiles are loaded with a deep intrusion cavity (4.99 inches max) and a shallow cavity (2.3 inches max). The deep intrusion permits use of proximity fuzes M514, M728, and M782. When all other fuzes are employed, a supplementary charge is used to continue the fuze imitation through to the explosive charge. The shallow cavity projectile will employ all fuzes except the deep intrusion proximity fuzes. Based upon propellant type the range of the projectile is from 2,700 m - 18,100m.

It is used for fragmentation and blast effect against personnel and material. Description: The M549A1 projectile has two distinctive pre-assembled components – the high explosive warhead and the rocket motor. The warhead is fabricated from high fragmentation steel for increased effectiveness and contains TNT. The motor body has a hollow boattail base and a recessed nozzle on it central spin axis. The rocket motor is made from a hi8gh strength steel alloy and contains 6.5 lbs. of solid rocket propellant. The rocket motor provides extended range through functioning of the rocket motor. For all current 155mm artillery systems, the M549A1 can be fired either “Rocket On’ or “Rocket Off.” For the “Rocket On” mode, the cap is removed prior to chambering the projectile. This exposes the pyrotechnic delay to propelling charge gases within the gun tube. The delay is ignited and burns for several seconds before igniting the rocket motor for its short in-flight burn of about three seconds. For use with the Crusader system, the cap was replaced with a blow-through seal. The M549A1 is only used in the “Rocket On” mode. The M549A1 is only used at maximum range with M4A2 (Zone 7), M119A1/M119A2 and M203/M203A1 propelling charges. A special protective energy absorbing lifting plug is used in place of a fuze for handing. PD and proximity fuzing are normally used when firing this projectile.

Description: Copperhead is a terminally guided system launched from conventional Howitzers into a ballistic trajectory. During light, the target is illuminated by a forward observer with a laser designator. On board signal processing continuously refines the terminal trajectory and provides guidance to the control surfaces, causing the round to home in on the target. Copperhead consists of three sections: the forward section contains the guidance; the second is the warhead, and the aft section is the stabilization and control. The configuration is aerodynamically controlled by cruciform in-line wings and tail fins that provide roll stabilization and lateral maneuverability sufficient to provide an impact footprint capable of defeating maneuvering armored targets. The guidance section consists of the seeker and electronic assemblies which are housed within the nose dome and steel housing. The payload section includes a high explosive shaped charge warhead in a steel structure and fuze module. The fuze module houses the dual channel Safing and Arming Mechanism and the firing circuit train. The stabilization and control section includes the deployable aero-dynamic surfaces and associated actuator mechanisms. Tail fins are attached to the hubs of the control actuator and retained within the housing by a latch mechanism. The fin locks are released by launched acceleration and the fins are deployed by centrifugal force immediately after the projectile leaves the gun barrel and locked in place.

Additional capability is to effectively interdict mobile armor and suppress armored air defenses. Description: The projectile is fired from any 155mm Howitzer using either an M577A1 or M762A1 fuze. Upon fuze time out, two submunitions are simultaneously expelled from the projectile. These submunitions separate via a Belleville spring device and are slowed by attached drag devices. A pyrotechnic time delay unit ignites the thermal battery which powers up the submunition as well a deploying a Ram Air Inflated Decelerator (RAID). The RAID despins the submunition and orients it directly downward. The multi-mode sensor then determines the altitude above the ground. This sensor consists of active and passive millimeter wave radars as well as an infrared detector. At the proper altitude above the ground the sensor fires an electrical initiated squib. This squib known as the Electric Band Cutter (EBC) detaches the RADI and deploys a Vortex Ring Parachute (VRP). The VRP imparts spin to the submunition and allows it to hang at the proper angle for a collapsing spiral search pattern. If a target is detected within the search, the submunition fires a tantalum alloy Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP) to defeat it. If no target is detected, the submunition self-destructs. The item is currently in low rate production.

Description: The M483A1 Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM) projectile contains 88 dual-purpose grenades, each capable of penetrating in excess of 2-1/2 inches of homogeneous armor and fragmentation for incapacitating personnel. The M42 grenade (64 each) is embossed on the inside wall surface to provide controlled fragmentation effects. The M-46 grenade (24 each) has a stronger unembossed body which is able to withstand the greater load seen at the rear of the shell due to setback upon firing. The M577A1 Mechanical Time Fuze or the M762A1 Electronic Time Fuze are used in the projectile fuze functioning, and the expelling charge expels the grenades from the aft end of the projectile. The projectile spin disperses the grenades in a circular pattern. Upon expulsion from the projectile, the nylon ribbon stabilizer, attached to the arming screw is each grenade, deploys and orients the grenade. Arming of the grenade occurs during the cycle and on impact. Functioning of the grenade occurs. A shaped-charge jet is directed downward to penetrate armor plate while the grenade body bursts into a large number of small fragments to provide the anti-personnel effects. The grenades themselves provide the projectiles' dual capability. However, a third effect can be achieved by replacing the original expelling charge with a spotting charge designed to detonate the entire projectile as if it were a bulk-loaded HE item. This projectile is shipped with a fusible lifting plug which protects the item during shipping, handling and storage.

ADAM should not be planned on hard surface roads or airfields as the mines will shatter or break when hitting asphalt or concrete. Description: ADAM is an antipersonnel (AP) mine activated by deployed trip lines. There are 36 wedgeshaped mines contained in the 155-mm projectile which are fuzed with the M577A1 and M762ET series Time Fuzes. The fuze action ignites the expulsion charge (M10 propellant) contained in a cup in the ogive section, ejecting the 36 mines from the base of the projectile over a large area nearly circular area. Minefield density can be selectively determined by altering the number of rounds applied. There are currently three densities: low, medium, and high. The mines are expelled from the projectile (approximately 600 meters) over the designated target. Shortly after ground impact, up to seven trip line sensors are released out to a maximum length of 20 feet. After a short time delay to allow the mines to return to rest, the electronics are enabled, causing the mine to completely arm. Disturbance of a tripline or disturbance of the mine itself triggers an electronic firing circuit. At a position 2-8 feet above the ground, the kill mechanism, which is a spheroid embossed with a fragmentation pattern detonates. The ADAM mine has lethality out to 15 feet. Self-destruct times are 4 hours for short self-destruct (M731) and 48 hours for long self-destruct (M692). If not triggered by one of the trip lines, the mines will detonate at a predesignated self-destruct interval or if the battery reaches a level that impairs their proper functioning. When the mine detonates, a small charge propels the kill mechanism upward and then the kill mechanism detonates to optimize its effect against personnel.

Description: This series of projectiles contains a payload of nine anti-tank mines stacked one on each other and are ejected during projectile flight by an expulsion charge activated by the M577A1 and M762 ET series Time Fuzes. The mines are armed soon after ground impact, and upon sensing the proximity of tanks or other armor, the mines initiate. If the mines are not initiated during their intended life span, a circuit is activated causing the mines to self-destruct. A percentage of mines in each projectile have anti-disturbance mechanisms to discourage attempts at mine field clearing. The mines are cylindrical in shape measuring five inches in diameter. The fuze action ignites the expulsion charge and gasses, acting against the pusher plate, eject the anti-armor mines from the base of the shell over the selected area. On ejection, set forward force and projectile spin action enables the safe and arming device of the mine to activate. Upon sensing the target and localizing the firing in the vehicles most vulnerable area, the mine fuze firing train is initiated and the main charge then accelerates, at hypervelocity, the Miznay Szhardin (MS) Plate through the belly armor of the vehicle. The large number of fragments, produced beyond the armor, produce a high kill probability.

Description: The all steel hollow projectile consists of a cylindrical projectile body with a forebody ogive and an aft base assembly containing a propellant grain. The shell body payload consists of a combination of 72 M42/M46 dual purpose grenades, a nose expulsion charge or selfregistration charge. Airburst functioning achieves payload ejection and dispersion of grenades for maximum terminal effects. Extended range is achieved by the base propellant gases filling the vacuum behind the projectile. The base propellant is ignited during firing from the weapon. Burning is sustained for about 30 seconds of flight time reducing base drag resulting in extended range. At a pre-determined point on the trajectory the pre-set time fuze functions in the expulsion charge and shears the base, expelling the grenade payload. The projectile spin disperses the grenades in circular pattern. A ribbon stabilizer deploys which retards the spin, orients the grenade, and arms it. On impact, detonation occurs with a shape charged jet directed toward the target and the body burst into a large number of small fragments to provide anti-personnel effects. This projectile is provided with a fusible lifting plug for storage, handling and shipping.

Description: The objective of the M864 Recapitalization (Recap) Program is to begin fielding up to 322,000 “like new” M864A1 rounds utilizing grenade pyrotechnic Self Destruct Fuzes (p-SDFs) in late 2008. The Recap process involves downloading M42/M46 DPICM grenades, removing existing M223 impact-initiating grenade fuzes, attaching a qualified p-SDF, and final Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP) of the round. The M864A1 rounds will also include the application of an Extended Range Ordnance (ERO) obturator to extend gun tube life. The program conducted a study in FY04 to determine the feasibility of recapping the M864 projectile. The effort successfully evaluated the technical and programmatic risks associated with all recap processes. Consequently, a Pre-Production Engineering (PPE) effort (Phase I) was initiated in 4QFY05, followed by a Qualification effort (Phase II) in 1QFY07, for two p-SDF designs in the M864E2 in order to compete M864A1 Production and have multiple qualified SDF sources for other artillery delivered systems and potential FMS. The M864 consists of three major components: An ogive, containing an expulsion charge at the base of the fuze well; the warhead, a payload of seventy two M42/M46 DPICM grenades; and a solid propellant baseburn unit containing a composite propellant grain and igniter. The M864A1 will be delivered by the M198 Towed Howitzer, Paladin Self Propelled Howitzer and Joint Lightweight 155mm M777 Howitzer. The round is compatible with the M203A1 maximum charge and the Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS). This system supports the Legacy-toObjective transition path of the Transformation Campaign Plan (TCP).

Description: The M825A1 is an improved artillery projectile witch produces a ground screening smoke 125150 meters wide for 5-10 minutes duration. The smoke screen is produced by burning multiple wedge-shaped pieces of felt which have been saturated with White Phosphorous (WP). The system consists principally of the projectile carrier (M483A1 Body) and the payload of 116 felt wedges WP. The projectile carrier consists of an M483A1 ogive and expulsion charge, a modified M483A1 all steel body, and a one-piece steel dome shaped base. The less expensive dome shaped base replaced an expensive toe-piece base and improved flight stability at high quadrant firings. On functioning, the M577A1/M762A1 ET fuze initiates the delay which provides ample time for the canister to clear the thin walled projectile body before the main charge functions. In less than 45 seconds, a dense and uniform smoke screen is created by the burning WP saturated felt wedges.

I provides the capability to attack all three key target sets, soft and armored vehicles, and reinforced bunkers, out to ranges exceeding current 155 mm family of artillery munitions. Description: The Excalibur (XM982) is a 155mm, Global Positioning System (GPS)-guided, fire-and-forget projectile under development as the Army’s next-generation cannon artillery precision munition. The target, platform location, and GPS-specific data are entered into the projectile’s mission computer through an enhanced portable inductive artillery fuze setter or automated system on the Future Combat Systems (FCS) Non-Line of Sight-Cannon (NLOS-C). Excalibur uses a jamresistant internal GPS receiver to update the inertial navigation system, providing precision guidance and dramatically improving accuracy regardless of range. Excalibur weighs 106 pounds, has three fuze options: height-of-burst, point-detonating, and delay/penetration; and is effective in all weather conditions and terrain. The program is using an incremental approach to provide a combat capability to the Soldier as quickly as possible, and to deliver advanced capabilities and lower costs as technology matures. The initial variant (Block Ia-1) was fielded in 2007 to provide an urgently needed capability and is currently being used in the GWOT in both theaters. It includes a unitary high-explosive warhead capable of penetrating urban structures, but is also effective against point targets, personnel targets, such as dismounted infantry and weapon crews, and light materiel targets, including air defense rockets, radars, and wheeled vehicles. Block Ia-2 will provide increased range (up to 40 kilometers) and reliability improvements. The third variant (Block Ib) will maintain performance and capabilities while reducing unit cost. Excalibur is designed for fielding to the digitized Lightweight 155mm Howitzer, the 155mm M109A6 self-propelled howitzer (Paladin), the Future Force indirect fire weapon (FCS NLOS-C) and the Swedish Archer howitzer. Excalibur is an international cooperative program with Sweden, which contributes resources toward the development in accordance with an established project agreement and plans to join in procurement. Excalibur is fin-stabilized and canard controlled and utilizes a slipping obturator. Upon muzzle exit the fins are deployed from under the obturator. At apogee the canards are deployed which maximizes lift to provide glide capability to extended ranges allowing the projectile to glide to the target. At target approach, the projectile goes into a steep descent and the cargo is expelled. The center dispenser bladder then forces the submunitions outward radially in a spoke-like pattern. The 64 M42/46 type submunitions contain a self-destruct fuze to minimize hazardous duds on the battlefield. Excalibur is a family of precision-guided, extended-range modular projectiles incorporating three unique payload capabilities divided into Block configurations. Block I consists of high-explosive, fragmenting, or penetrating unitary munitions to enhance traditional fire support operations with increased range, improved accuracy, and reduced collateral damage against personnel, light materiel, and structure targets. Block II consists of smart munitions to search, detect, acquire, and engage fleeting and short-dwell targets common to open-terrain battlefields. Block III 19-20 FOUO consists of discriminating munitions to selectively identify and engage individual vehicular targets in urban environments by distinguishing specific target characteristics. Excalibur's precision capabilities are intended to be used by Future Combat System (FCS) Non-Line-ofSight (NLOS) Cannon units to provide close support to maneuver units in urban or complex terrain. Digitized lightweight 155mm howitzer systems will be used to develop and test Excalibur's capabilities before FCS NLOS Cannon is fielded.

The M915 can only be fired from the M119 howitzer system. The M915 consists of the M217E1 series Cartridge Case, M28 Percussion Primer, M200 Prop Charge, a nose fuze, and a projectile that contains an expulsion charge, forty-two Dual-Purpose M80 grenades with IM explosive fill, and a base plug. The M80 grenades, with the M234 SD Fuze, is a self destructing, fragmenting shaped charge munition designed to defeat 2.5 inches of armor and incapacitate enemy personnel. The M915 cartridge is fired with the M762A1 ET Fuze, M762 ET Fuze or the M577A1 MT Fuze. As the fired projectile approaches the target area, the preset M762A1 ET fuze initiates the expulsion charge expelling the base plug and grenades from the base of the carrier into the air. During free fall, the stabilizing ribbon on each grenade deploys. This action arms the M234 SD Fuze and also serves to control the free fall orientation of the submunition and spiral safety flag. On impact, the grenade detonates producing a hyper velocity armor piercing jet and numerous incapacitating metal fragments. The self-destruct capability of the M234 Fuze assures high probability of grenade functioning on impact thereby minimizing the threat of battlefield duds.

Description: The M557A1 fuze is composed of an aluminum ogive and a stainless steel body which contain two M55 Stab Detonators, a mild detonator fuze, crush element, timer assembly, a sleeve and trigger assembly, a safe separation device and a counter assembly. The fuze is manually set from the setting key with a fuze setter and the set time is read directly from the counter window in the ogive. The fuze can be set to function at some specific altitude above the target area or on impact (superquick setting). The setback and spin forces generated in a gun firing environment activate the timer when the fuze is in the set time mode. The safe separation device serves to safe arm the fuze. At two to four seconds prior to reaching the set time, the trigger assembly releases the rotor. This permits the detonators in the rotor to rotate in line with the firing plate. When set time is reached, the firing plate strikes the M55 Stab Detonators which ignite the mild detonating fuze. This produces a hot flash through the lead which initiates the expelling charge and the subsequent aerial expulsion of the payload from the projectile.

Description: The M577A1 Fuze becomes the M582A1 Fuze when assembled with a loaded booster for high explosive application. The fuze contains a detached lever escapement timer, and modular counter, trigger and safe separation device assemblies. The time set or impact function option is made by turning the setting key, located at the nose of the fuze, with a fuze setter or any screwdriver-like tool. The setting is viewed through a plastic window in the ogive and may be changed any number of times. The timer and trigger modules are held safe by setback and spin locks. The safe separation device (SSD) is linked to the trigger module to provide overhead safety and is also held by spin detents. When the timer reaches two to four seconds before set time, it causes the safe separation device to be released, thus arming the fuze. When the fuze is set for impact function, the SSD is released on launch from the weapon. The centrifugally driven SSD arms at a constant number of turns of the shell and provides a variable safe distance depending on the caliber of the weapon. The M577A1/M582A1 Fuze, for impact functioning features a rear inertial actuated device in lieu of a frontal pressure actuated device (M577/M582). Upon experiencing a velocity change, the rear safe separation device slides forward and stabs the detonator on the firing p9in with sufficient energy to initiate the round.

Description: The M728 is a long intrusion proximity fuze which contains a radio continuous wave transmitter/detector, antennas, a clockwork timing mechanism, a power supply, a PD element, and a booster charge. A plastic nose cone fixed to a rotatable setting ring is inscribed with a single index line. The shoulder of the metal sleeve is inscribed with graduated set time markings and a PD line. When fired in the proximity mode, setback forces activate the timing mechanism, initiate the power supply and arm the PD element. Three seconds prior to set time, the proximity element becomes armed and radio transmission begins. The transmitted radio waves travel to the target and are reflected back to the fuze. The interaction between the transmitted and the reflected waves produces a Doppler signal. When the signal reaches a certain amplitude, an electronic switch triggers the explosive train detonating the warhead at an optimum distance from the target. If the proximity element fails to function, the PD element detonates the projectile on impact.

Description: The M983 cartridge is a fin stabilized, mortar cartridge that consists of a M776 Mechanical Time Superquick (MTSQ) fuze, a steel 2-piece shell body that contains the payload (parachute and canister), and a fin assembly that contains the ignition cartridge and propelling charges. The payload is base ejected and upon ignition produces infrared (IR) illumination. This infrared light illumination allows for monitoring of enemy activities and adjustment of fire at greater observation distances during night operations. The advantage of the infrared over conventional illumination is that there is minimal visible light. This reduces the possibility of exposing forward friendly troop positions while also allowing covert adjustment of fire at greater observation distances through use of passive Night Vision Devices (NVDs).

The AN/GSM-263 Electronic System Test Set (ESTS) is a multi-bay Automated Test System designed to test and diagnose missiles and associated Carrier Aircraft Equipment (CAE) used to launch missiles. The ESTS operates under automated computer control to provide power, stimulus, switching, monitoring, and measurement of test signal flow to the Unit Under Test (UUT). Five different configurations of ESTS equipment currently exists: AN/GSM-263 ESTS „Base‟ Model. The first version of the ESTS was the ESTS Model GSM263. It was originally designed in the mid-70s, with the last tester delivered in 1984. This incarnation of the ESTS was designed to support SRAMs (AGM-69, removed from inventory in the 1990s), and ALCMs (AGM-86A and B). Fielded: 4 each AN/GSM-263A ESTS „A‟ Model. Most of the original ESTS base models were modified to the ESTS Model 263A. This modification added the capability to support testing of the B-1 CSRL (the 180-Inch Launcher). Fielded: 11 each AN/GSM-263G ESTS „G‟ Model. The difference between an „A‟ version and „G‟ version is the incorporation of the 1A24 Bus Extender in the main rack, which allows GPIB communications with an additional rack, known as the Remote Switching Control Assembly (RSCA). The RSCA is used for testing the Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM). Fielded: 20 each AN/GSM-263F ESTS „F‟ Model. Model GSM-263F is a base model modified to include a GPIB Bus Extender to allow connection of an RSCA for ACM testing. Only one ESTS 263F version is still fielded, and is located at Tinker, AFB. This tester is limited in that it cannot test CSRLs, but has the added capability of testing ACMs. AN/GSM-263C ESTS „C‟ Model. The GSM-263C was developed to provide specific test capability for B-2 weapon systems. It is a base model ESTS with several key modifications. The changes are provided to allow the ESTS to test the B-2 Rotary Launcher Assembly (RLA) and four of its LRUs. Fielded: 7 each The Missile Radar Altimeter Test Assembly (MRATA) is used in conjunction with the ESTS to accomplish testing of the installed missile radar altimeter (MRA) and common missile radar altimeter (CMRA) in an Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) AGM-86B and Conventional Air Launched Cruise Missile (CALCM) AGM-86/C as well as the installed MRA in an Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM) AGM-129A. Three different configurations of MRATA equipment currently exists: MRATA -1007. The MRATA, P/N: 70D180840-1007, is the initial MRATA developed. It was later modified to the 70D180840-7003, 70R180840-1003, and then finally to the current 70R180840-1007 part number configuration. Fielded: 2 each MRATA -1017. MRATA serial numbers 0029 and beyond were part numbered 70D1808401009, and select quantities were converted to P/N 70D180840-1011 and then finally to the 22-12 FOUO current 70D180840-1017 part number configuration. Both the MRATA -1007 and MRATA 1017 are functionally and physically equivalent but are carried under separate part and national stock numbers. Fielded: 14 each MRATA -1019. Select quantities of the original 70D180840-1009 part number of MRATA were later converted and were added capabilities to test the Advance Cruise Missile. The MRATA 1019 has added circuitry to test these functions along with MRATA -1017 functions. Fielded: 16 each For testing ACM, ALCM, and CALCM, an Air Data Test Set (ADTS) is used in conjunction with the ESTS and MRATA. ADTS. The Air Data Test Set (ADTS), also known as the AN/GSM-291, is a precise, stable, easy to use pressure control system designed to accurately simulate and measure the pneumatic pressures associated with a cruise missile in flight. The test set is capable of operator selectable units of measurement in terms of pressure (inches of mercury or millibars), altitude (feet or meters), and airspeed (knots or kilometers per hour). Fielded: 24 each Calibration/certification of the ESTS is accomplished using standard test equipment and a, Portable Automatic Test Equipment Calibrator (PATEC). There are two versions of the PATEC; one for the ESTS, and one for the ADTS. PATEC-ESTS. A PATEC is used for calibration verification of the ESTS. A calibration TPS is executed on the ESTS in conjunction with the PATEC, which is performed every 90 days. The operator is guided through instructions on the ESTS on the hookup and test using the PATEC. Fielded: 23 each PATEC-ADTS. ADTS is calibrated on an annual basis using the ADTS PATEC. The King Nutronics Pressure Measurement Standard (3719-7-1) will replace the Ruska Pressure Measurement Standard (DDR 6000) as needed through attrition. The unit is a high accuracy microprocessor-driven pressure calibrator designed to provide regulated static (PS) and total (PT) pressure/vacuum outputs to simulate altitudes and airspeeds (QC) in instruments.

It can rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against any adversary, anywhere in the world, at any time. Description: The B-1B's blended wing/body configuration, variable-geometry wings and turbofan afterburning engines, combine to provide long range, maneuverability and high speed while enhancing survivability. Forward wing settings are used for takeoff, landings, air refueling and in some high-altitude weapons employment scenarios. Aft wing sweep settings - the main combat configuration -- are typically used during high subsonic and supersonic flight, enhancing the B-1B's maneuverability in the low- and high-altitude regimes. The B-1B's speed and superior handling characteristics allow it to seamlessly integrate in mixed force packages. These capabilities, when combined with its substantial payload, excellent radar targeting system, long loiter time and survivability, make the B-1B a key element of any joint/composite strike force. The B-1 weapon system is capable of creating a multitude of far-reaching effects across the battlefield. The B-1 is a highly versatile, multi-mission weapon system. The B-1B's offensive avionics system includes high-resolution synthetic aperture radar, capable of tracking, targeting and engaging moving vehicles as well as self-targeting and terrain-following modes. In addition, an extremely accurate Global Positioning System-aided Inertial Navigation System enable aircrews to autonomously navigate globally, without the aid of ground-based navigation aids as well as engage targets with a high level of precision. The recent addition of Combat Track (CT) II radios permit an interim secure beyond line of sight reach back connectivity until Link-16 is integrated on the aircraft. In a time sensitive targeting environment, the aircrew can receive targeting data from the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) over CT II, and then update mission data in the offensive avionics system to strike emerging targets rapidly and efficiently. This capability continues to be employed on a daily basis in support of operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The B-1B's self-protection electronic jamming equipment, radar warning receiver (ALQ-161) and expendable countermeasures (chaff and flare) system complements its low-radar cross-section to form an integrated, robust onboard defense system that supports penetration of hostile airspace. The ALQ-161 electronic countermeasures system detects and identifies the full spectrum of adversary threat emitters then applies the appropriate jamming technique either automatically or through operator manual inputs. Chaff and flares are employed against radar and infrared threat systems. B-1 capabilities are being continually enhanced following completion of the Conventional Mission Upgrade Program (CMUP). (CMUP improved lethality by adding the ability to carry up to 30 cluster munitions (CBU-87, -89, -97), a Global Positioning System receiver, and an improved weapons interface that allows the carriage of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), and Wing Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD)- guided weapons (CBU-103, -104, -105) in addition to advanced secure radios (ARC210) and the ALE-50 Towed Decoy System. Current modernization effort is focused on the Fully Integrated Data Link (FIDL) program which provides line of sight and beyond line of sight Link 16 communication and upgraded rear cockpit displays. The recent addition of the Laptop Controlled Targeting Pod (LCTP), in response to a CENTAF Urgent Need Request gives the 23-1 FOUO B-1B the capability to positively identify, track and attack targets, greatly decreasing the time required to prosecute time sensitive targets. LCTP Phase II will provide Laser-JDAM (GBU-54) capability and automated transfer of target coordinates from the pod. The B-1B holds 106 world records for speed, payload, range, and time of climb in its class. The National Aeronautic Association recognized the B-1B for completing one of the 10 most memorable record flights for 1994. The most recent records were made official in 2004.

A dramatic leap forward in technology, the bomber represents a major milestone in the U.S. bomber modernization program. The B-2 brings massive firepower to bear, in a short time, anywhere on the globe through previously impenetrable defenses. Description: The B-2A low-observable, or "stealth," characteristics give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most valued, and heavily defended, targets. Its capability to penetrate air defenses and threaten effective retaliation provides a strong, effective deterrent and combat force well into the 21st century. The revolutionary blending of low-observable technologies with high aerodynamic efficiency and large payload gives the B-2A important advantages over existing bombers. Its low-observability provides it greater freedom of action at high altitudes, thus increasing its range and a better field of view for the aircraft's sensors. Its unrefueled range is approximately 6,000 nautical miles (9,600 kilometers).

Status Inventory Management/Engineering: 726 AESG, WPAFB, OH 23-4 FOUO Nomenclature: B-52H Name: Stratofortress Capability: Air Combat Command's B-52H is a long-range, heavy bomber that can perform a variety of missions. The bomber is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes up to 50,000 feet (15,166.6 meters). It can carry nuclear or precision guided conventional ordnance with worldwide precision navigation capability. Description: In a conventional conflict, the B-52H can perform strategic attack, air interdiction, offensive counter-air and maritime operations. During Desert Storm, B-52s delivered 40 percent of all the weapons dropped by coalition forces. It is highly effective when used for ocean surveillance, and can assist the U.S. Navy in anti-ship and mine-laying operations. Two B-52Hs, in two hours, can monitor 140,000 square miles (364,000 square kilometers) of ocean surface. All B-52Hs are equipped with an electro-optical viewing system that uses platinum silicate forward-looking infrared and high resolution low-light-level television sensors to augment targeting, battle assessment, and flight safety, thus further improving its combat ability and lowlevel flight capability. Pilots wear night vision goggles (NVG) to enhance their vision during night operations. Night vision goggles provide greater safety during night operations by increasing the pilot's ability to visually clear terrain, avoid enemy radar and see other aircraft in a covert/lights-out environment. The use of aerial refueling gives the B-52H a range limited only by crew endurance. It has an unrefueled combat range in excess of 8,800 miles (14,080 kilometers).

Description: The Eagle's air superiority is achieved through a mixture of unprecedented maneuverability and acceleration, range, weapons and avionics. It can penetrate enemy defense and outperform and outfight any current enemy aircraft. The F-15A-D has electronic systems and weaponry to detect, acquire, track and attack enemy aircraft while operating in friendly or enemy-controlled airspace. The weapons and flight control systems are designed so one person can safely and effectively perform air-to-air combat. The F-15A-D's superior maneuverability and acceleration are achieved through high engine thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing loading. Low wing-loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its wing area) is a vital factor in maneuverability and, combined with the high thrust-to-weight ratio, enables the aircraft to turn tightly without losing airspeed. A multi-mission avionics system sets the F-15A-D apart from other fighter aircraft. It includes a heads-up display, advanced radar, inertial navigation system, flight instruments, ultrahigh frequency communications, tactical navigation system and instrument landing system. It also has an internally mounted, tactical electronic-warfare system, "identification friend or foe" (IFF) system, electronic countermeasures set, Joint Helmet Mounted Cuing System (JHMCS) and a central digital computer. The pilot's heads-up display (HUD) projects on the windscreen all essential flight information gathered by the integrated avionics system. This display, visible in any light condition, provides information necessary to track and destroy an enemy aircraft without having to look down at cockpit instruments. In addition, the JHMCS is a helmet mounted display and cueing system which provides information such as targeting cues and aircraft performance parameters and graphically displays them directly on the helmet visor. The F-15A-D's versatile pulse-Doppler radar system can look up at high-flying targets and down at low-flying targets without being confused by ground clutter. It can detect and track aircraft and small high-speed targets at distances beyond visual range down to close range, and at altitudes down to treetop level. The radar feeds target information into the central computer for effective weapons delivery. For close-in dogfights, the radar automatically acquires enemy aircraft, and this information is projected on the HUD. The F-15A-D's electronic warfare system provides both threat warning and automatic countermeasures against selected threats. A variety of air-to-air weaponry can be carried by the F-15A-D. An automated weapon system enables the pilot to perform aerial combat safely and effectively, using the HUD and the avionics and weapons controls located on the engine throttles or control stick. When the pilot changes from one weapon system to another, visual guidance for the required weapon automatically appears on the HUD. The F-15C/D aircraft is capable of using Conformal Fuel Tanks that attach to the aircraft fuselage sides and provide the ability for the aircraft to carry more fuel without the higher drag of external fuel tanks. Each Conformal Fuel Tank adds about 5000 pounds of addition fuel to the F-15C/D aircraft."

An array of avionics and electronics systems gives the F-15E the capability to fight at low altitude, day or night, and in all weather. Description: The aircraft uses two crew members, a pilot and a weapon systems officer. Previous models of the F-15 are assigned air-to-air roles; the "E" model is a dual-role fighter. It has the capability to fight its way to a target over long ranges, destroy enemy ground positions and fight its way out. The aircraft's navigation system uses a laser gyro and a Global Positioning System to continuously monitor the aircraft's position and provide information to the central computer and other systems, including a digital moving map in both cockpits. The APG-70 radar system allows aircrews to detect ground targets from long ranges. One feature of this system is that after a sweep of a target area, the crew freezes the air-to-ground map then goes back into air-to-air mode to clear for air threats. During the air-to-surface weapon delivery, the pilot is capable of detecting, targeting and engaging air-to-air targets while the weapons systems officer (WSO) designates the ground target. The low-altitude navigation and targeting infrared for night (LANTIRN) system allows the aircraft to fly at low altitudes, at night and in any weather conditions, to attack ground targets with a variety of precision-guided and unguided weapons. The LANTIRN system gives the F-15E unequaled accuracy in weapons delivery day or night and in poor weather, and consists of two pods attached to the exterior of the aircraft. The navigation pod contains terrain-following radar which allows the pilot to safely fly at a very low altitude following cues displayed on a heads up display (HUD). This system also can be coupled to the aircraft's autopilot to provide "hands off" terrain-following capability. The targeting pod contains a laser designator and a tracking system that mark an enemy for destruction at long ranges. Once tracking has been started, targeting information is automatically handed off to GPS or laser-guided bombs. One of the most important additions to the F-15E is the rear cockpit, and the weapons systems officer (WSO). On four screens, this officer can display information from the radar, electronic warfare or infrared sensors, monitor aircraft or weapons status and possible threats, select targets, and use an electronic "moving map" to navigate. Two hand controls are used to select new displays and to refine targeting information. Displays can be moved from one screen to another, chosen from a "menu" of display options. In addition to three similar screens in the front seat, the pilot has a transparent glass HUD at eye level that displays vital flight and tactical information. The pilot doesn't need to look down into the cockpit, for example, to check weapon status. At night, the screen is even more important because it displays a video picture nearly identical to a daylight view of the world generated by the forward-looking infrared sensor.

It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations. The F-16’s safety, survivability, and combat readiness statistics through sustained deployments under less than ideal conditions remains second to none. The F-16 continues to be used in support of the following rolls: Strategic Attack Interdiction Close Air Support Counter-Air Tactical Ballistic Missile Destruction SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) DEAD (Destruction of Enemy Air Defense) Reconnaissance Description: In an air combat role, the F-16's maneuverability and combat radius (distance it can fly to enter air combat, stay, fight and return) exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft. It can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. In an airto-surface role, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles (860 kilometers), deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point. An allweather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance during non-visual bombing conditions. In designing the F-16, advanced aerospace science and proven reliable systems from other aircraft such as the F-15 and F-111 were selected. These were combined to simplify the airplane and reduce its size, purchase price, maintenance costs and weight. The light weight of the fuselage is achieved without reducing its strength. With a full load of internal fuel, the F-16 can withstand up to nine G's -- nine times the force of gravity -- which exceeds the capability of most other current fighter aircraft. In addition, the integral ―lifting body‖ fuselage design coupled with incremental structural improvements has allowed payload capacity to increase to a gross weight of 52,000 lbs without increasing the size of the aircraft. The cockpit and its bubble canopy give the pilot unobstructed forward and upward vision, and greatly improved vision over the side and to the rear. The seat-back angle was expanded from the usual 13 degrees to 30 degrees, increasing pilot comfort and gravity force ―g‖ tolerance. The pilot has excellent flight control of the F-16 through its quad-redundant "fly-by-wire" system. Electrical wires relay commands, replacing the usual cables and linkage controls leaving the F-16 more tolerant to battle damage. For easy and accurate control of the aircraft during high G-force combat maneuvers, a side stick controller is used instead of the conventional center-mounted stick. Hand pressure on the side stick controller sends electrical signals to actuators of flight control surfaces such as flaperons, horizontal tails, and rudder. Avionics systems include a highly accurate, SAASM capable, GPS aided, inertial navigation system in which a computer provides steering information to the pilot. The plane has UHF and VHF radios, platform data-linking, plus an instrument landing system. It also has a detection / warning system and modular countermeasure pods and dispensers to be used against airborne or surface electronic threats. The fuselage has space for additional avionics systems and later models include an elongated dorsal for even more avionics and optional conformal fuel tanks (CFTs). 23-14 FOUO Characteristics: Primary Function - Dual role tactical fighter and air-to-ground attack aircraft Power plant F-16C/D: one Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-200/220/229 or General Electric F110-GE-100/129 Thrust F-16C/D, 24,500-29,000 pounds Wingspan 32 feet, 8 inches (9.8 meters) Length 49 feet, 5 inches (14.8 meters) Height 16 feet (4.8 meters) Weight 19,700 pounds (through Blk 50) without fuel (8,936 kilograms) 20,700 pounds (Blk 52C) 22,100 pounds (Blk 52D) Max Takeoff Weight 42,500 pounds (1931 kilograms) (Through Blk 50) 52,000 pounds (Blk 52C/D) Fuel Capacity 7,000 pounds internal (3,175 kilograms); typical capacity, 12,000 pounds (through Blk 50) with two ext 370 gal tanks (5443 kilograms) Blk 52C capacity 17,100 lbs with 600 gal tanks and CFTs (2900 lbs) Payload Mission dependant Speed 1,500 mph (Mach 2 at altitude) Range More than 2,002 miles ferry range (1,740 nautical miles) Ceiling Above 50,000 feet (15 kilometers) (Operational Limit is 50K’) Crew F-16C, one; F-16D, one or two Armament - One M-61A1 20mm multi-barrel cannon with 500 rounds; external stations can carry up to six air-to-air missiles with conventional or nuclear air-to-surface munitions with electronic countermeasure pods and navigation/targeting pods Maximum Load by Weapon AIM-120 AMRAAM GBU-31 (2000lb JDAM) GBU-54 (500lb L-JDAM) GBU-10 (2000lb LGB) GBU-39 (250lb SDB I) AGM-158A (JASSM) CBU-103/104/105(WCMD) AGM-88 (HARM) SLAM-ER 6 2 4 2 8 2 4 2 2 AIM-9X GBU-38 (500lb JDAM) GBU-24 (2000lb LGB) GBU-12 (500lb LGB) GBU-39 (250lb SDB II) AGM-154 (JSOW) AGM-65 Harpoon 2 4 2 4 8 2 2 2 Initial operating capability - F-16A, January 1979; F-16C/D Block 25-32, 1981; F-16C/D Block 40-42, 1989; and F-16C/D Block 50-52, 1994 Inventory Total force, F-16C/D, 1,280 Contractor / Status / Improvements / Special Equipment: Contractor Lockheed Martin Corp.

Its combination of stealth, super cruise, maneuverability, and integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities. The Raptor performs both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions allowing full realization of operational concepts vital to the 21st century Air Force. The F-22A, a critical component of the Global Strike Task Force, is designed to project air dominance, rapidly and at great distances and defeat threats attempting to deny access to our nation's Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The F-22A cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft. Description: A combination of sensor capability, integrated avionics, situational awareness, and weapons provides first-kill opportunity against threats. The F-22A possesses a sophisticated sensor suite allowing the pilot to track, identify, shoot and kill air-to-air threats before being detected. Significant advances in cockpit design and sensor fusion improve the pilot's situational awareness. In the air-to-air configuration the Raptor carries six AIM-120 AMRAAMs and two AIM-9 Sidewinders. The F-22A has a significant capability to attack surface targets. In the air-to-ground configuration the aircraft can carry two 1,000-pound GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) internally and will use on-board avionics for navigation and weapons delivery support. In the future air-to-ground capability will be enhanced with the addition of an upgraded radar and up to eight small diameter bombs. The Raptor will also carry two AIM-120s and two AIM-9s in the air-to-ground configuration. Advances in low-observable technologies provide significantly improved survivability and lethality against air-to-air and surface-to-air threats. The F-22A brings stealth into the day, enabling it not only to protect itself but other assets. The F-22A engines produce more thrust than any current fighter engine. The combination of sleek aerodynamic design and increased thrust allows the F-22A to cruise at supersonic airspeeds (greater than 1.5 Mach) without using afterburner -- a characteristic known as supercruise. Supercruise greatly expands the F-22A's operating envelope in both speed and range over current fighters, which must use fuel-consuming afterburner to operate at supersonic speeds. The sophisticated F-22A aero-design, advanced flight controls, thrust vectoring, and high thrustto-weight ratio provide the capability to outmaneuver all current and projected aircraft. The F-22A design has been extensively tested and refined aerodynamically during the development process.

The JSF aircraft design has three variants: conventional takeoff and landing variant for the Air Force, aircraft carrier-suitable variant for the Navy, and short takeoff and vertical landing variant for the Marine Corps. The United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Turkey are partnered with the U.S. and involved in the F-35 development. These aircraft are intended to replace aging fighter and attack aircraft currently in the inventory. Description: Integral to the aircraft’s low-observable equation is the large internal-weapons bay. When stealth is not required, the F-35 also can carry wingtip air-to-air missiles and up to 15,000 pounds of external ordnance mounted on underwing pylons. A pneumatically powered ordnance-release system replaces the traditional cartridge-powered equipment. This new design greatly reduces maintenance requirements. The 25 mm cannon will enable pilots to engage targets from higher altitudes and longer range. The F-35’s mission systems are designed to return the pilot to the role of tactician and to increase combat effectiveness dramatically. Next-generation sensors will provide the pilot coherent and fused information from a variety of onboard and off-board systems. Sophisticated data links will connect the aircraft to both ground-combat elements and airborne platforms. In addition to fighter-to-fighter data links, the F-35 will be equipped with satellite-communications capability for both transmitting and receiving. The aircraft’s onboard sensor suite is optimized to locate, identify, and destroy movable or moving ground targets under adverse weather conditions. This all-weather capability is achieved with the aircraft’s advanced electronically scanned array (AESA) radar built by Northrop Grumman. The AESA enables simultaneous air-to-ground and air-to-air operations. It can track moving ground targets and display them on a radar-generated terrain image, enabling precise target location relative to terrain features. These instruments, coupled with off-board sensors, will make the F-35 capable of all-weather close air support under the most demanding conditions. The JSF program was created to replace various aircraft while keeping development, production, and operating costs down. This was pursued by building three variants of one aircraft, sharing 80% of their parts: F-35A, a conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant slated to replace U. S. Air Force (USAF) F-16 Fighting Falcons. Initial Operating Capability - 2013. F-35B, a short-takeoff and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant slated to replace the U. S.

Description: The F/A-18 Hornet is an all-weather fighter/attack aircraft built by Boeing, operated primarily by the USN/USMC for carrier operations, but also exported to multi-national interests. The aircraft is powered by two General Electric F404-GE-400 or F404-GE-402 (enhanced performance) turbofan engines with afterburner. The flight control surfaces operate via a ―fly by wire‖ system. Pilot-commanded control stick and rudder inputs are forwarded to two flight control computers, which in turn generate signals that allow for 3000-psi hydraulic-actuated control surface movement to give the pilot optimum flying qualities and handling performance in both the up and away and powered approach configurations. Pilot-controlled HOTAS (Hands-on-Throttle and Stick) allow for ease in pilot workload when operating mission essential systems. A HUD (Head-up-Display) provides the aircrew with accurate aircraft altitude, airspeed, and heading along with timely weapon employment parameters. Three cockpit digital display indicators (DDIs) enable the aircrew to process multiple aircraft and weapons parameters with relative ease. The Hornet has three distinct master modes: Navigation (NAV), Air-to-Air (A/A), and Air-toGround (A/G). NAV master mode is used primarily during administrative phases of flight, while the A/A and A/G modes can quickly be toggled to attack both airborne and ground targets. A total of nine wingtip, fuselage, and pylon stations are available for weapon placement. The fuselage stations are used to house air-to-air weapons and various targeting pods. The Hornet is capable of employing AIM-9, AIM-7, and AIM-120 A/A missiles and has provisions for chaff and flare dispensing. A/G weapons include general purpose bombs, GPS- and laser-guided munitions, Maverick, Rockeye, rockets, mines, and a host of Joint weapons. A 20-mm gun and multi-mode radar are located in the nose of the aircraft. External fuel tanks may be placed on the inboard and centerline stations for added endurance capability. F/A-18A, A+ and C models are single seat aircraft, while the F/A-18B, D, and Reconnaissance Configured F/A-18D, D(RC), can accommodate a crew of two. Currently, only the F/A-18A+, C, D and D(RC) models are capable of Joint weapons employment. The F/A-18A+ model is an upgraded version of the F/A-18A.

The CH-53D Sea Stallion is designed for the transportation of equipment, supplies and personnel during the assault phase of an amphibious operation and subsequent operations ashore. Capable of both internal and external transport of supplies, the CH-53D is shipboard compatible and capable of operation in adverse weather conditions both day and night. The CH-53D is now filling a role in the Marine Corps' medium lift helicopter fleet. Description: The twin-engine helicopter is capable of lifting 7 tons (6.35 metric tons). Improvements to the aircraft include T64GE-416 engines, elastomeric rotor head, external range extension fuel tanks, crashworthy fuel cells, ARC-210 radios, and defensive electronic countermeasure equipment. The helicopter will carry 32 passengers in its normal configuration and 55 passengers with centerline seats installed. The CH-53D is a more capable version of the CH53A introduced into the Marine Corps in 1966. Used extensively both afloat and ashore, the Sea Stallion was the heavy lift helicopter for the Marine Corps until the introduction of the CH53E triple engine variant of the H-53 family into the fleet in 1981. The CH-53D has performed its multi-role mission lifting both equipment and personnel in training and combat, most recently in Operation Iraqi Freedom and are deploying to Operation Enduring Freedom in FY09. All Marine Corps CH-53D helicopters are currently assigned to Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay. The CH-53D Sea Stallion’s cargo/troop compartment measures 30 feet long by 7'/2 feet wide and 6'/2 feet high and has a rear door and loading ramp. To facilitate cargo handling, a remotely controlled winch is located at the forward end of the compartment. There is space for a jeep with trailer, a 105mm howitzer or a Hawk missile system. If passengers are carried, 32 combat-equipped troops or 24 litter patients can be accommodated. Twin-turbine engines turn a single, six-bladed main rotor which has an automatic blade-folding system. Engine air separators have been incorporated on many models to reduce power loss in a sand/dust environment. An automatic flight control system lessens pilot fatigue on long missions.

As the Marine Corps' heavy lift helicopter designed for the transportation of material and supplies, the CH-53E is compatible with most amphibious class ships and is carried routinely aboard LHA (Landing, Helicopter, Assault: an amphibious assault ship), LPH (Landing Platform, Helicopter: an amphibious assault ship) and now LHD (Landing, Helicopter, Dock: an amphibious assault ship) type ships. Description: The CH-53E is capable of lifting 16 tons (14.5 metric tons) at sea level, transporting the load 50 nautical miles (57.5 miles) and returning. A typical load would be a 16,000 pound (7264 kilogram) M198 howitzer or a 26,000 pound (11,804 kilogram) Light Armored Vehicle. The aircraft also can retrieve downed aircraft including another CH-53E. The 53E is equipped with a refueling probe and can be refueled in flight giving the helicopter indefinite range. Derived from an engineering change proposal to the twin-engine CH-53D helicopter, the CH-53E has consistently proven its worth to the Fleet commanders with its versatility and range. With four and one half hours' endurance, the Super Stallion can move more equipment over rugged terrain in bad weather and at night. During Operation Eastern Exit two CH-53Es launched from amphibious ships and flew 463 nautical miles (532.45 miles) at night, refueling twice enroute, to rescue American and foreign allies from the American Embassy in the civil war-torn capital of Mogadishu, Somalia in January of 1990. Two CH-53Es rescued Air Force Capt. Scott O'Grady in Bosnia in June 1995. The platform has been critical to the success of OEF, OIF, and HOA. The CH-53E is a follow-on for its predecessor, the CH-53D. Improvements include the addition of a third engine to give the aircraft the ability to lift the majority of the Fleet Marine Force's equipment, a dual point cargo hook system, improved main rotor blades, and composite tail rotor blades. A dual digital automatic flight control system and engine anti-ice system give the aircraft an all-weather capability. The helicopter seats 32 passengers in its normal configuration and has provisions to carry 55 passengers with centerline seats installed. With the dual point hook systems, it can carry external loads at increased airspeeds due to the stability achieved with a dual point system.

As the Army’s only heavy-lift helicopter, the mission of the CH-47 is to transport troops (including air assault), supplies, weapons and other cargo in combat, combat support, and combat service support operations. The Chinook’s cockpit accommodates tow pilots and an observer. It has a triple hook system, which provides stability to large external loads or the capacity for multiple eternal loads. Large external loads such as 155mm howitzers can be transported at speeds up to 260 km/h using the triple hook load configuration. Multiple external loads can be delivered to two or three separate destinations in one sortie. The cabin provides 42 cubic meters of cargo space and 21 square meters of cargo floor area and can accommodate two HMMWVs or a HMMWV together with 105mm howitzer and gun crew. The main cabin can hold up to 33 fully equipped troops. The Chinook is equipped with two T55-GA714 turbo-shaft engines, which are pod-mounted on either side of the rear pylon under the rotor blades. The self-sealing fuel tanks are mounted in external fairings on the sides of the fuselage. The fixed tanks hold 1,030 gallons of fuel. Three additional fuel tanks can be carried in the cargo area. The Chinook has undergone numerous upgrades since the first CH-47A model entered the Army service in 1962. Operational history: CH-47A Chinook entered service in Vietnam with the U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division in late 1965. The CH-47B was the standard troop transport used by the U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam. During the Gulf War of 1991, 163 CH-47Ds served in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The CH-47D saw wide use in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. The Chinook was used in air assault missions, inserting troops into fire bases and later bringing food, water, and ammunition. It is typically escorted by attack helicopters such as the Apache for protection. The CH-47D was particularly useful in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan where high altitudes and temperatures limited the use of the Black Hawk. Variants. The MH-47D variant was developed for Special Forces operations and has in-flight refueling capability, a fast-rope rappelling system and other upgrades. The current model used by US Army Special Operations is the MH-47E. A recapitalization program of the CH-47F will provide a more reliable, less costly to operate aircraft compatible with joint digital connectivity requirements in the future force with an extended life of approximately 20 years. Key modifications integrate a new-machined airframe, an upgraded T55-GA-714A engine to restore performance capability, Common Avionics Architecture System, Air Warrior, Common Missile Warning System enhanced air transportability, Digital Automatic Flight Control System (DAFCS), and an Extended Range Fuel System II for self-deployment missions. The CH47F is expected to remain the Army’s heavy-lift helicopter until at least the 2020-2025 time frame. The MH-47G Special Operations Aviation (SOA) version is currently being delivered to the U.S. Army. It is similar to the MH-47E, but features a more sophisticated avionics including a digital Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS). On November 9, 2006, the HH-47, a new variant of the Chinook based on the MH-47G, was 23-68 FOUO selected by the United States Air Force as the winner of the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR-X) competition.

The MQ-1B's primary mission is armed reconnaissance against critical, time sensitive targets. The MQ-1B is a Joint Forces Air Component Commander-owned theater asset for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition in support of the Joint Forces commander. Description: The MQ-1B Predator system consists of four aircraft (with sensors), a ground control station, a Predator Primary Satellite Link, and approximately 55 personnel for deployed 24-hour operations. The basic crew for the Predator is one pilot and one sensor operator. They fly the aircraft from the ground control station (GCS) via a line-of-sight data link or a satellite data link for beyond line-of-sight flight. The aircraft is equipped with a color nose camera (generally used by the pilot for flight control), a day variable-aperture TV camera and a variable-aperture infrared camera (for low light/night). The cameras produce full motion video. The MQ-1 Predator carries the Multi-spectral Targeting System with inherent AGM-114 Hellfire missile targeting capability and integrates electro-optical, infrared, laser designator and laser illuminator into a single sensor package. The aircraft can employ two laser-guided Hellfire missiles with the MTS ball. The system is composed of four major components which can be deployed for worldwide operations. The Predator aircraft can be disassembled and loaded into a shipping container sometimes referred to as the "coffin." The ground control system is transportable in a C-130 (or larger) transport aircraft. The Predator aircraft can operate on a 5,000 by 75 feet (1,524 meters by 23 meters), hard surface runway with clear line-of-sight. The ground data terminal antenna provides line-of-sight communications for takeoff and landing. The Predator Primary Satellite Link (PPSL) provides over-the-horizon communications for the aircraft. The primary employment mode for Predator is called Remote Split Operations. The aircraft is launched from the Forward Operating Location (FOL) using a smaller version of the GCS call the Launcher and Recovery GCS (LRGCS). Once airborne, the aircraft is handed off to a crew in a CONUS based GCS which conducts the mission via extended communication links. Following the mission, the aircraft is handed back to the LRGCS for recovery. The aircraft includes an ARC-210 radio, an APX-100 IFF/SIF with Mode 4 and a turbo-charged engine. The latest upgrade enhances maintenance and performance, and includes notched tails, split engine cowling, steel braided hoses and an improved engine block.

Description: The typical system consists of 4 air vehicles, a ground control station (GCS), communication equipment/links, spares and support personnel. The crew for the MQ-9 is a pilot and a sensor operator, who operate the aircraft from a remotely located GCS using the same Remote Split Operations concept as the MQ-1 Predator. To meet combatant commanders' requirements, the MQ-9 delivers tailored capabilities using mission kits that may contain various weapons and sensor payload combinations. The MQ-9 baseline system has a robust sensor suite for targeting. Imagery is provided by an infrared sensor, a color/monochrome daylight TV and an image-intensified TV. The video from each of the imaging sensors can be viewed as separate video streams or fused with the IR sensor video. The laser rangefinder/designator provides the capability to precisely designate targets for laser-guided munitions. Synthetic aperture radar will enable Joint Direct Attack Munitions targeting. The aircraft is also equipped with a color nose camera, generally used by the pilot for flight control. Each MQ-9 aircraft can be disassembled into main components and loaded into a container for air deployment worldwide in Air Force airlift assets such as the C-130. The MQ-9 air vehicle operates from standard U.S. airfields.

MQ-8B features four-blade main rotor, in contrast to the larger-diameter three-blade rotor of the RQ-8A, to reduce noise and improve lift capacity and performance. The four-blade rotor had already been evaluated on Fire Scout prototypes. They boost gross takeoff weight by 500 pounds to 3,150 pounds (by 225 kg to 1,430 kg), with payloads of up to 700 pounds (320 kg) for short-range missions. The MQ-8B is fitted with stub wings as well. The wings will serve both an aerodynamic purpose as well as an armament carriage location, to include weapons such as Hellfire missiles, Viper Strike laser-guided glide weapons, and in particular pods carrying the "Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS)", a laser-guided 70 millimeter (2.75 inch) folding-fin rocket, which the Army sees as ideal for the modern battlefield. The Army is also interested in using the Fire Scout to carry up to 90 kilograms (200 pounds) of emergency supplies to troops in the field. The MQ-8B is being modified to permit rapid swap out of payload configurations. The current sensor configuration of a day/night turret with a laser target designator will of course remain an option. Alternate sensor payloads in consideration include a Tactical Synthetic Aperture Radar TSAR with Moving Target Indicator (MTI) capability, a multispectral sensor, a SIGINT module, the Target Acquisition Minefield Detection System (TAMIDS), and the Tactical Command Data Link (TCDL). The Army wants the Fire Scout to operate as an element of an integrated ground sensor network as well.

Description: Wasp Block III is Equipped with forward and side looking color video cameras, as well as a modular forward or side looking electro-optical infrared payload. AFSOC uses these systems in support of ground combat controller teams. The Wasp III payload integrates several fixed cameras performing different tasks. The forward camera maintains field orientation with a broad view of the scene, while the side view camera, utilizing higher power magnification is generally used for target investigation. To maintain continuous coverage of a specific target, the Wasp automatically circles around it, maintaining the designated target in the side camera's field of view. The system is packed in a small suitcase, rapidly assembled within few minutes and is launched by hand toss. WASP is nearly silent and, when flown at night, it's almost undetectable. The smaller Wasp III is deployed by the US Marine Corps at the platoon level. To maintain commonality among deployed systems, the Wasp III uses a ground control system common to the Raven B and Puma UASs. The Wasp III mission endurance is 45 minutes, at a range of 5 km. At its mission termination point the Wasp lands horizontally over flat surface. A water landing version based on the WASP III is currently deployed.

Description: The ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a 40 lb (18 kg) UAV designed for continuous mission of 15+ hours, cruising at speeds of 50 kt at an altitude of 5,000m. The system was designed for autonomous field operation. ScanEagle carries a payload of 6 kg, operating at a ceiling of 5,000 meters. It can be launched and retrieved over any terrain, including naval operations. The Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) includes a UAV, a Sky Wedge hydraulic launcher, Sky Hook retrieving system, and mobile ground control element. The longendurance, fully autonomous ScanEagle is equipped with nose-mounted inertial-stabilized camera turret, designed to track an object of interest for extended periods of time. It carries inertially stabilized electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) cameras that allow the operator to track both stationary and moving targets. ScanEagle is launched autonomously from a pneumatic SuperWedge catapult launcher and flies either preprogrammed or operator-initiated missions. The Insitu-patented SkyHook™ system is used to retrieve the UAS, capturing it by way of a rope suspended from a 50-foot-high tower. The system makes ScanEagle runway-independent and minimizes its impact on shipboard operations, similar to a vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicle. ScanEagle is currently deployed with the US Marine Corps and US Navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the system flew over 100,000 hours since inception of the system in July 2005.

The initial military evaluation focused on the detection of IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). Description: Each T-Hawk is small enough to carry in a backpack and is equipped with video cameras to relay information back to foot soldiers using a portable handheld terminal. The circular vehicle, weighing 17 pounds and 14 inches in diameter, can easily fly down to inspect hazardous areas for threats without exposing warfighters to enemy fire. It also has the ability to take off and land vertically from complex desert and urban terrains without using runways or helipads. The system has been deployed in Iraq to keep American troops safer by identifying enemy threats from the sky. The deployment is the first time a ducted-fan unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been used during combat missions. The system requires minimal operator training. The ground station can be used to program a flight path for the T-Hawk or to control the craft manually. The aircraft also can be optionally equipped with electro-optical cameras for daylight operations or infrared cameras for night missions. Precise controls allow the T-Hawk to operate at very high altitudes or just inches from the ground, providing unprecedented hover and stare capabilities for enemy detection or other missions in war zones." In 2007, the U.S. Navy acquired 20 Micro Air Vehicles, designated YRQ-16A, for evaluation in Iraq by the U.S. MultiService Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group.
