The Future
NBCDPICM Artillery Fragments (all around)
RPGs(Front Sector)
Medium CalibreMachine-gun (Front Sector)
HeavyMachine-gun (all around)
Anti Tank MineUnder Wheel andunder Hull
Directed Anti Personnel Mine

Options
� DPICM, (Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition)
- small Fragments
�
Anti Personnel/(Material)shaped Charge
�
Anti Armor/Material
� Unitary, (a single HE filled Effector in a Carrier)
- Fragments
�
Anti Personnel/MaterialPenetrator
�
Anti Infrastructure
� SFM, (Sensor Fuzed Munition)
- Designed to fight hard and semi-hard Targets
Is it still a
s good as we believe ?
Precision is Mission critical !
Includes TLE !
SFM´s are perfect to fight all protected Targets !

A Solution
GMLRS M30 Rocket SMArt® DM 702
G-SMArt Rocket
No Payload
4 SMArt® Sub-Munitions
System MLRS\NDIA\NDIA 2007.ppt April 2007 8Copyright Diehl VA Systeme Stiftung & Co. KG
SMArt®
Characteristics
- Tri mode- passive Infrared (IR)- passive 94 GHz Millimetre Wave (Radiometer)- active 94 GHz Millimetre Wave (Radar)
- High sophisticated Sensor Fusion
- High Performance Tantalum Liner Warhead
- IR/mmW Sensor, bore sighted with Warhead (apart from small lead angle)
- Single (first) pass Detectionand Warhead Initiation
- Redundant built-in Self-Destruct Function
- Altitude (Slant Range) commanded through Radar Channel- Battery burn-out initiates Self-Destruct
More than 20,000 SMArt® Sub-Munitions produced up to now !

SMArt Principle of Function
Target Search during stable Descent
- Starting Height 150 m AGL
�
very short Detection Range (SLR)
�
immune to adverse Weather
- Very large Scan Area enclosed ≤ 35,000 m2
�
high Probability of Target in Footprint
- Top Attack …
�
most vulnerable Area on Target
… at low Speed Sub-Munition Descent
�immune to DAS
… and very high Speed SFF Attack�
immune to ERA and other Type of Protection
SMArt`s Sensors are simple and the kill Mechanism is very robust !

SMArt Adaptation to GMLRS
Minor Modifications only to SMArt Sub-Munition !
No Change on Sub-Munition Descent, Searchand Detect and Self Forging Fragment Function
Change AccelerationEnvironmental Criteriaof S&A to RocketESAD Control
Change Spin openedBallute to high SpeedDrag Chute
