$9 Million U.S. Air Force contract to develop hard target void sensing fuze
Alliant Techsystems has received a nine million dollar contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop a Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF) under the Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD) program. The contract was awarded by the Air Armament Center, Eglin AFB, Fla. The JCTD program will
span 27 months and cover the design, testing, and demonstration of ATK’s HTVSF against specified Air Force requirements. If ATK is selected to complete all phases of the program, System Demonstration and Development (SDD), and full- rate production, the company believes the value of the program could exceed $250 million.
The HTVSF is a cockpit programmable system that will provide multi-delay arming and detonation, as well as a void sensing function, for the BLU-113 or BLU-109 weapon to penetrate and destroy
