GIF & CCF
• GIF is a Technology Demonstration Program at NSWCDD Sponsored by OSD-ATL
• GIF is being co-developed by the Army & Navy as the design concept for the Army CCF Program
• US Army is developing a requirement for CCF. OPM CAS is the developer for USAFAS
GIF & CCF
• GIF is a low-cost, fuze-sized module that is intended to replace a “NATO standard” fuze
• GIF corrects the ballistic trajectory in 2D, resulting in a small terminal miss distance
• GIF provides “First Round “First Round -- Steel on Target”Steel on Target”
• GIF technology can be applied to literally literally millions of existing millions of existing 155mm, 105mm, 5”, 76mm projectiles, and 120mm and 81mm mortars.

How does GIF Work?
Unguided Impact
Guided Impact At Target
GPS Satellites
• Ballistic Solution• Initialize Fuze
• Despin Nose• Acquire GPS
• Predict Miss• Deploy Controls• Steer to Target

Roll Brake System
Covers Protect Waffle Canards Prior to the Initiation of Guidance
2 Anti-Roll Strakes (One on each Cover)
Differential Cant Between the Waffles Provides Anti-Roll Torque After the
Covers are Discarded.

Program Plan• Complete Technology Demonstration Phase w/
closed loop guided gun firing
• Award up to 2 Contracts (from NSWC) for development of GIF based on Gov’t TDP
– 100 Fuzes for qualification testing
– Proposals may deviate from GIF baseline TDP to improve performance, reduce cost or schedule
Program Plan
• Down select for following options – Build 1000 GIFs for Army user test– Course Correcting Fuze development (SDD)
• Army to take GIF design into CCF SDD program in FY06
• CCF Initial Operational Capability in FY10

Conclusion
• Closed loop guided demo shot currently scheduled for October of this year
• Gov’t plans to hold pre-solicitation conference prior to RFP release– Review baseline design and SOW– Look for a FEDBUZOPPS announcement this
summer
