DOOLITTLE INSTITUTE Ordnance Concepts Industry Day

The Air Force Research Lab Munitions Directorate (AFRL/RW) Ordnance Branch, in collaboration with the Doolittle Institute and AFLCMC/EB, is hosting an Industry Day to explore partnership opportunities for transitioning an Advanced Additive Manufactured Ordnance with Universal Fuzing Concepts into production. This event is designed to engage small businesses, industry partners, and SMEs who are interested in supporting the development of systems that meet the evolving needs of AFLCMC/EB. 

Overview:  

It will showcase the preliminary technical design of the Blast-effect Additive eNabled Technology for Advanced Munitions (BANTAM) Ordnance system, which features a universal fuzing architecture. We are actively seeking industry stakeholders and subject matter experts in ordnance systems to collaborate on the next stages of development, testing, prototyping, and manufacturing. 

Participants will gain valuable insights into AFRL/RW’s latest innovations and have the chance to partner in the commercialization and production of novel warhead and fuze system concepts. These concepts align with emerging AFLCMC/EB requirements, providing a pathway for industry partners to engage in high-impact projects with the potential for future opportunities. 

Date: 16-17 October 2024
