USAF GFE Fuzes Have Struggled

• FMU-143 (and -156)– Producibility

– Dearming

• Joint Programmable Fuze– Requirements

– Producibility

– Lot Acceptance

• Hard Target Smart Fuze– Requirements

– Producibility

– Program Termination

OIF Target Realities

• 15,000 vs 5,000 PSI Concrete

• Target Description Uncertainty

• Undetected Structural Modifications

• Etc…

Collateral Damage

• Duds

• Unintended Impact Point

• “Too Much” Weapons Effect

Prime Contractors Developing Fuzes

• Pros: – Maximizes Primes Flexibility to Manage Cost, Schedule,

Performance; Brings Additional Resources To The Battle

• Cons:– Increases Risk to Prime

– Lack of Experience in Fuze Design

– Increased “Layers” Between Designers and “Government Gatekeepers”

New Technology

• The Promise– Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Application

Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)– Software Driven Systems– Complex Functions– Reprogrammability

• The Reality– Design Process Complex – must understand device

characteristics and design tools– Software Safety Analysis Tools are Lacking– Safety Regulations Must Keep Pace
