System Applications
• Bursting munition applications must be system integration focused
– Open architecture — system of systems
• Bursting munition effectiveness is centered on error budget management
– Interfaces must be in place “now” for later integration
• Platform integration and interfaces are critical
• Bursting munitions is a system not just fuze or ammunition
– Fuze – Fire control interface
– Setter – Human interface
– Gun
