STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

INERT WARHEAD

FOR THE

REDUCED RANGE PRACTICE ROCKET: M28A2

1.0 SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the work to be performed by the contractor, as authorized by and subject to the terms and conditions of the contract, to manufacture the inert warhead for the Reduced Range Practice Rocket (RRPR) M28A2.

Background. The United States (US) Army Field Artillery community has identified a training need for the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) practice rockets. The RRPR M28A2 is a cost-effective solution to that need. An inert warhead is mated to the same rocket motor assembly used on the M26 Tactical Rocket to provide MLRS batteries an opportunity to train with a rocket pod that has the same properties as the tactical pod and to experience the same effects of firing a tactical rocket, but at reduced ranges.
