Abstract	This presentation started with a brief overview of ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS (ATK) a $2.3 billion defense company focused on solid rocket propulsion and conventional munitions. The company is embarking on a new strategy to combine its expertise in propulsion and munitions to create new innovative weapon concepts with increased range, increased precision, and increased lethality with reduced cost and extended platform life. The Ordnance Systems business of ATK has a legacy of developing sensors, seekers, and fuzes for conventional munitions and is now expanding on that historical expertise to develop integrated precision munitions such as the Precision Guided Mortar Muntion program for the US Army. A review was provided of test environment capabilities, underlying sensor and seeker technology, and a brief description of the integration of these technologies into four new weapon platforms: AARGM/Quick Bolt, 5-inch guided naval projectile (ANSR/ERM), Army mid-range munition (MRM) and PGMM.
