ARDEC’S ROLE

Advanced Weapons:

Line of sight/beyond line of sight fire; non line of sight fire; scalable effects; non-lethal;

directed energy; autonomous weapons

Ammunition:

Small, medium, large caliber; propellants; explosives; pyrotechnics; warheads; insensitive

munitions; logistics; packaging; fuzes; environmental technologies and explosive

ordnance disposal

Fire Control:

Battlefield digitization; embedded system software; aero ballistics and telemetry

ARDEC provides the technology for over 90% of the Army’s lethality and a significant amount of support for other services’ lethality

What can we do collectively to

overcome this new environment?

CHALLENGES GOING FORWARD

Army Operating Concept “Win in a Complex World” future

operational environment – Increased velocity and momentum of human interaction and events

– Potential for overmatch by our adversaries

– Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction

– Spread of advanced cyberspace and counter-space capabilities

– Demographics and operations among populations, in cities, and in

complex terrain

Better Buying Power 3.0 – Increase the use of prototyping and experimentation

– Remove barriers to commercial technology utilization

– Improve the return on investment in DoD Labs

– Emphasize technology insertion and refresh in program planning

– Increase the use of SBIR

– Provide draft technical requirements to industry and involve industry

How can you help? – Enhance communications with Government labs

– Incorporate Government IP into your innovative solutions
