2 EAPS Goal and Battle Space Develop and Demonstrate Critical Technologies for Bridging the Gap Between the Initial C-RAM Capability and the Objective EAADS Capability for Providing Mobile, 360-Degree Hemispherical Extended Area Protection from RAM Threats EAPS, Slide 2

3 Program Requirements Defeat RAM Aerial Threat Targets Small Presented Areas Low RCSs Thick, Hard Warhead Cases Short Times of Flight High Rates of Fire Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICMs) Target List Mortars: 60 mm 120 mm Rockets: 107 mm-240 mm Artillery: 122 mm-152 mm EAPS, Slide 3

4 EAPS Baseline Concept 50mm Bushmaster Cannon RF Data Link Radar Track 10 Round Burst Mid-Flight Course Correction Forward Fragmentation Warhead Detonation 50mm Course Corrected Projectile EAPS, Slide 4

5 Goals and Objectives By the end of FY08 Demonstrate: EAPS 50mm Automatic Cannon on Hardstand Mount 50mm Lethality Round 50mm Course Correction Round Common Projectile Carrier Demonstrated Separately ATS Radar Integration for Tracking and RF Communication Component Level Tests to Demonstrate Fuzing, Warhead Lethality, Course Correction and Engagement Accuracy Against Static Targets Continued Systems Analysis to Validate the System Level Effectiveness Transition to Follow-On System Integration Development EAPS, Slide 5

7 The Gun as Part of a Gun/Missile Solution Short Range Lethality Fast Reaction Time Low Cost per Kill Engagement of Leakers Advanced Ammunition Tailored To the Threat Cannons Complement Missiles Well in Terms of Range, Reaction Time and Cost per Kill- Complementary Solution may be Best EAPS, Slide 7

8 50mm Bushmaster Cannon Hybrid Bushmaster Cannon Accommodates EAPS 50mm Caliber Cartridge Length No New Development Required Twin Guns in Common Turret 50mm Bushmaster Specs Caliber: 50mm Cartridge Length: 538mm (21 ) Firing Rate: SS/200 spm Weight: 510 lbs Recoil Force: 14,000 lb Power Req d: 3 HP Manufacturer: ATK MCS, Mesa BMIV AFT RECEIVER with BMIII BREECH & FWD RECEIVER Twin 50mm Cannons in EAPS Turret EAPS, Slide 8

9 ATS Radar Communication Data Link Truth Radar for C-RAM Very, Very Accurate Can Provide Tracking and Communication for Divert, Detonate and Telemetry Transceiver can Miniaturized for 50mm EAPS Projectile Tracks Multiple Incoming Targets and Outgoing Interceptor Munitions Simultaneously Miniaturized Transceiver EAPS, Slide 9

10 Current Baseline EAPS Projectile Primer Black Powder Tactical Configuration Explosive Tail Fins Propellant Electrical connector Battery Control Electronics Thruster Port Forward Fragmenting Warhead Thruster Propellant Cartridge case Projectile case Rotating band Antenna EAPS, Slide 10

11 Dual Warhead Development Paths Baseline Design : Multiple Explosively Formed Penetrator (MEFP) Warhead Use of a existing technology Form a low weight frag with high expulsion velocity Single or Multiple Warhead Liners Design EFPs to have a fixed dispersion pattern size Alternative Design : Directional Fragmenting (DiFrag) Warhead Leverage off the 120mm LOS-MP Warhead Technology Release a low weight Pre-form frag with high expulsion velocity Array of high-density tungsten frags in a matrix material Design Warhead to have a fixed dispersion pattern size Potential Upgrade to enhance lethality Use of Reactive Materials Encapsulate into a hollow Tungsten-preform Adds Chemical Energy to propagate deflagration of Threat EAPS, Slide 11

12 Proposed Follow-On Program Advanced Technology Demonstrator (ATD) Program (FY09-FY10) Planned Activities Integrate Course Correction and Warhead into a single EAPS Projectile Introduce a electronic self-destruct capability to the EAPS Projectile Develop a Prototype Autonomous Turret Turret and Weapon elevation Drives Link-less Feed System Integrate the ATS Radar and Weapon Fire Control Demonstrate a functional weapon system on an existing platform (LAV, BFV, or MLRS) against a dynamic RAM Target Twin 50mm Cannons in EAPS Turret EAPS, Slide 12

13 Summary EAPS is a Challenging Program Offers High Payoff Best Team Formed Joint Government/Industry IPT ATK Advanced Weapon Systems ATK Medium Caliber Systems ATK Launch Systems Arrowtech Technovative Applications Course Correction and in-flight ATS Radar Data Link are Break-through Technologies If We are Successful, a Follow-on Integration Development Effort for FY09-FY10 is Likely EAPS, Slide 13
