Focus on Design and Weaponization

Mission: design, engineer, integrate, test, and provide productioninterface, for all non-nuclear components of a nuclear weapon

Maintain deep foundation of science and

engineering in our technical competencies

to posit ion the nation to evaluate and respond to

developments in the international environment or to developments in

the weapons technology of other nations

Fuze Technology DevelopmentAdvance the fuze technology and component development to

support the requirements of our new national challenges

Explore strategies to survive new environments throughminiaturization, integration, and robust packaging

Penetration Environment Characterization Need to better understand the Hard Target penetration environmentand fuze component environment

Modeling and Simulation Need the abili ty to model and predict environments seen by firing

systems as penetrating warheads impact hard targets

MOU signed by DoD/DDR&E and DOE/DP in 1985 Goal: explore and develop technologies

intended to bring about major improvements innon-nuclear munitions benefitting both Depts.

Jointly funded by DoD and DOE-Labs Focus and adapt the DOE nuclear weapons

technology-base to enable major advances inDoD warfighting capabil ities

Support long-term R&D at the 3 DOE NW labswith DoD & DOE oversight Cooperative, jointly-funded efforts in:

- Initiation, Fuzing, & Sensors- Energetic Materials

- Computational Mechanics & Material Modeling- Warhead Technologies- Munitions Lifecycle

Requires a balance between DoD and DOEpriorities

Participation is government only; technologiestransit ioned thru DOTC and lab mechanisms
