Slide 5 Millennium Gun 11112002
Desirable Ammunition Feature
For Lethal To Non-Lethal Engagement AirBursting Munitions
• Penetration capability (i.e. energy) of fragments(or subprojectiles), and the fragment density(#/M2) on target
• Programmable by setting the correspondingbursting distance from target (penetration control),and the number of rounds to be fired to attain thefragment density (#/M2) on target
Slide 6 Millennium Gun 11112002
• Mission Roles– Dissuasion (from Non-Lethal/Less Than Lethal)– Destruction (Lethal Mission Kill/Hard Kill)
• Targets (Anti Material/Anti Personnel)– Combatant Vessels– Support Vessels & Merchant Ships– Patrol Craft– Inflatables To Speed Boats– Helicopters To Aircraft– Drones To Missiles

Summary
• Naval gun systems can extend their missioncapabilities from lethal through near lethal to non-lethal. • Demonstrated technology exists that can be appliedin the development of naval weapons systems. Thevulnerability of a broad range of targets could beaccommodated within the mission profile.
