Description:
- FY2021 funding totals include $91.017M appropriated for Overseas Contingency Operations, which reflects a $16.838M reduction in the FY21 Appropriation Act.
- FY2022 funding totals include $5.406M requested for Over-The-Horizon and/or Enduring Requirements. FY22 amounts reflect $30M in reductions in the FY22 Appropriation Act.
- The FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $69.509M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
Procure advanced fuze/sensor systems and modernization capabilities required by US and Allied warfighters to support the commander's intent. These fuze/sensor systems provide the DoD with reliable and
effective weapon safing, arming, sensing, and attack capabilities. Characterize how fuzing impacts the survivability, producibility, and lethality of various weapon systems; including internal pressures, warhead
effects, and ignition characteristics.
The following Weapon System Cost Elements are represented in this P-1 line:
- FMU-152A/B Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) (EC11) is a multi-function unitary fuze developed and procured for the Joint Direct Attack Munition and other conventional inventory weapons. The FMU-152A/B
provides a highly reliable bomb fuze with multiple arm times, instantaneous and multiple short and long delay detonation times, hard target survivability, cockpit programmability, and increased service/shelf life.
The JPF is compatible with MK-80 series guided and unguided bombs. It has replaced and/or supplemented the FMU-139A/B and FMU-139C/B, FMU-143, and M904/M905 fuzes, and provides fuzing capability
for hard target, general purpose, and guided bombs. The Air Force is the lead service for procurement/sustainment.
- FMU-139D/B is a Navy-led general purpose fuze Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) program to replace the FMU-139C/B and FMU-152A/B in the USN and USAF inventories. This effort is a low cost option
that meets both services' requirements for a better buying power business case. The original contract for this effort was competitively awarded by the Navy on 17 September 2015. USAF production buy decision
for Lot-2 (36,000 fuzes) was approved in September 2019. Air Force deliveries began in 4QFY21. USAF production buy decision for Lot-3 (20,000 fuzes) was awarded in May 2021 and delivery order award
for Lot-4 (20,000 fuzes) is expected in May 2022. The USAF continues to monitor weapon usage rates in the AOR and adjust fuze inventory objectives accordingly. In the case of the FMU-139D/B, lower than
anticipated combat expenditures of general purpose fuzes, coupled with a newly established FY28 inventory objective of 100,000 units, drove the decision to reduce annual purchase quantities to 20,000 fuzes.
This reduction ensures a gradual build to the desired FY28 inventory objective, while safeguarding the fuze industry base and FMU-139D/B production line. Manufacturing capacity for the FMU-139D/B remains
at 50,000 fuzes per year, providing a delta of 30,000 units per year available for USN, FMS, or increased USAF requirements.
