摘要

As available research and procurement accounts begin to cave under the weight of war costs, flexibility is becoming the name of the game for the Pentagon's weapons and munitions. Gone are the days of buying a single type of weapon for a single set of targets. The Air Force and Navy are now looking inward to modify existing weapons, even the brand-new Small-Diameter Bomb, with added capabilities. The goal is two-fold: Decrease bomb yield to allow use in populated areas and find a way to destroy adversaries on the go. Weapons developers are also countering emerging airborne threats by designing modifications to the mainstay AIM-120 air-to-air missile. Ultimately, their quest for efficiency is driving the Pentagon to consider whether a new weapon can handle both aerial and ground targets. In the next six pages, AW&ST explores some of the more compelling research activities that are designed to maintain the U.S. 's edge in weapons technology.
