ARDEC Life-Cycle Engineering Support to PEO Ammo:
Competencies – continued source of the world’s best ammunition engineering talents
Modeling & Simulation – reduced cycle times, reduced test costs, accelerated production start-ups, reduced logistic costs & footprint
Technology Maturation – stage new technologies for PMs to turn into vastly improved lethality for the soldier
Sustainment Support – rapid resolution of production and field issues

Working closely with PM Lethality, PM FCS, the LSI and TRADOC. These are programs that have been identified as required. Now we are working with PM FCS and the Army on the investment strategy as to what will be funded, and when. May want to point out which ones are currently funded in the POM (Excalibur, PGMM, Mortar Fire Control, ASTAMIS, and partially MRM and IMS)
AMOS: Advanced Mortar System
120mm twin barrel, smooth bore, breech loaded
MPAT: Multi-purpose Anti-Tank
SUAV: Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
