Guidelines Reason 240 mm Threat Diameter Baseline Threat Specification 500 m/s Threat Horizontal Velocity Baseline Threat Specification Head-on Engagement Baseline Threat Specification 2 km Range; 500 m Altitude Threshold Maximum Range Requirement; Intermediate Altitude Requirement (-) 1 deg. Launcher Elevation Error Evaluate Guidance, Low angle error most difficult 0 m/s Crosswinds, Standard Day Air Simplification and Consistency Assumptions Hit-to-Kill is Volumetric Intersection of Threat and Projectile Evaluate Guidance Volumetric Intersection is a closest approach distance of no more that 140 mm The distance between the centerline of a 240 mm rocket and a 40 mm round. Project Standard Conditions
Concept Overview • De-spun flared-tail design • Efficient and cost-effective • Compatible with current launch platforms • Can be fired interchangeably with guided and non-guided 40mm rounds • Ground based radar system and processed by an on-board computer
Operational Scenario Threat: 240mm diameter rocket at an altitude of 500m and traveling at 500m/s

Production Analysis Gary Campbell
Weight factor (Wl ) Cost of one bullet ( C1 ) Cost of manufacture n, bullets (Cn ) (n) is the number of bullet for production Production Cost
C1 = $ 800 * Wl0.54 Cn = C1 * Llog2n 10,000 Cost per unit = ∑ Cn / 10,000 n=1 Formulas used to obtain cost
C1~ $2135 Number of unit to produced 10,000 Average cost of one unit Cn~ $526 Cost Obtained
Average production cost does not exceed cost of producing one bullet Allows for extraneous cost Manufacturability
LP4 satisfies all requirements outlined in the CDD Rapid production due to readily available components Conclusions
Perform further analysis using a more advanced simulation program Field testing before deployment Recommendations
