Appendix: Key Definitions

Term Definition

Affordable Mass Munitions (AMM)

Low-cost (~$300K target), mass-producible (1K+ units/year), long-range precision strike systems for Great Power Competition.

Weapon Open System Architecture (WOSA)

AFRL Munitions Directorate technical standard defining a modular open systems approach (MOSA) for weapon systems.

Mandates standardized logical message constructs, enables "plug-and-play" subsystem integration, and breaks vendor lock through subcomponent-level competition.

Government Reference Architecture (GRA)

Government-owned framework providing high-level principles, practices, and common standards for specific domains (e.g., Weapons GRA for weapon subcomponents). Defines standardized interfaces, data models, and communication protocols.

Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM)

USAF program for affordable, mass-producible, long-range precision munition. Co-developed with Denmark and

Netherlands. Target: 500-lb class, ≥250 NM range, Mach 0.6+, CEP ≤10m, GPS-denied capable.

Quicksink AFRL-developed dual-mode (radar/IR) seeker for precision maritime strike. WOSA-compliant, designed for modular integration.

Fixed Wing Air- Launched Counter- Unmanned Aircraft Systems Ordnance

(FALCO)

Modular concept based on the AGR-20 for air-air engagements against UAS.

International Traffic in Arms Regulations

(ITAR)

U.S. regulations controlling export/import of defense articles and services on the USML.

Mobile Production Manufacturing capability that can be relocated or transported, potentially including containerized or deployable production equipment.

Forward Assembly Final assembly operations conducted at forward or expeditionary locations with minimal infrastructure requirements.

Contested Logistics Operating environment where supply chains are disrupted, degraded, or denied due to adversary action.

In-Theater Production Manufacturing or assembly operations conducted within the operational theater, reducing dependence on CONUS-based supply chains.

Surge Capacity Maximum production rate achievable with additional investment and 12–24 months preparation time.
