Mines, Demolition & Non-Lethal Conference 10 September 2003 Rene Kiebler Director, Program Management, OPEO Ammunition
PEO Ammunition MISSION GOALS Develop and Procure Conventional and Leap-Ahead Munitions to Increase Combat Power to Warfighters GOALS Get PGM’s & Smart Weapons to Warfighters Improve and Sustain the Conventional Stockpile Satisfy the Customer, Achieve Excellence Grow World-Class People and Teams Our vision is to get conventional and leap-ahead combat power in the hands of warfighters Our goals are stated simply enough. The top two priorities are to get….. Precision-Guided Munitions into the Inventory, and to improve… Conventional Munitions

Proactive Production Efforts Vinyl Alcohol Acetate Resin (VAAR) Critical Binder for Pyrotechnic Compositions No Stockpile/No Production Capability/Incomplete TDP Working With Previous Manufacturer Limited Production Run (Near term Solution) Developing Tech Data Package/Spec. Will Qualify New Binder
Proactive Production Efforts Lead Azide Stockpile Assessment Primary Explosive Used in Numerous Munitions No US Manufacturer US Stockpile in Uncertain Status Conducted Partial Characterization Testing Identified Good Materiel for Near Term Need Continuing to Screen Stockpile Working to Qualify Additional NTIB Manufacturer

PEO Ammo’s Efforts Are Aligned With LSI’s Family of Combat Systems 120mm BLOS / LOS MRM Advanced KE Advanced Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank (MPAT) Lt Wt 120mm Cannon 120mm Mortar Precision Guided Mortar Munition (PGMM) Mortar Fire Control Advanced Mortar System (AMOS) Non-Lethal Munition 155mm NLOS XM982 Excalibur Low Cost Course Correction Non-Lethal Munition Working closely with PM Lethality, PM FCS, the LSI and TRADOC. These are programs that have been identified as required. Now we are working with PM FCS and the Army on the investment strategy as to what will be funded, and when. May want to point out which ones are currently funded in the POM (Excalibur, PGMM, Mortar Fire Control, ASTAMIS, and partially MRM and IMS) AMOS: Advanced Mortar System 120mm twin barrel, smooth bore, breech loaded MPAT: Multi-purpose Anti-Tank SUAV: Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle can dispense the IMS (Intelligent Munition System) Intelligent Munitions System (IMS) Quicklook Air Standoff Mine Detection System Ground Standoff Mine Detection System Unmanned Systems Infantry Carrier Vehicle Bursting Munitions Medium Caliber Program Mini-Volcano
Summary PEO Ammunition Up and Running We are the Focal Point for Ammunition Continuing to Support Current Operations Improving Ammunition Life Cycle Practices
