Today’s weapons are excellent…but we need to continue improving to prepare for future conflicts Targets and threats are evolving asymmetrically

Current weapons have filled many capability objectives…however things have changed Current weapons developed to defeat enemy in a war

zone…not a civilian Urban Operations environment Persistence and variable effects are needed

Enabling Network Centric Weapons is Team Eglin’s primary

thrust for the near to mid term SDB II and supporting technologies for moving targets Weapons data link and architecture for net-ready ability Technology to grow weapon ISR/BDI/BDA capability Longer ranges, increased load out, all with flexible targeting

Directed Energy and Area Dominance are natural extensions of

Net Centric Weapons These concepts are guiding our mid to far term efforts

Hard & Deeply Buried Targets (HDBT) and Chemical/Biological/

Radiological/ Nuclear, or High Yield Explosive (CBRNE) solutions

are being explored and will be further developed as warfighter

requirements solidify
