Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF)
 Sole source dual-site long-term production contract
 Fuze programs typically last for decades - JPF production was
 authorized in 2004
 Over 160,000 units delivered to the U.S. and 26 other nations
 Large long-term backlog in excess of $100 million
 Significantly improved producibility and field reliability

New Technology and Opportunities
 The U.S. Navy does not have a bomb fuze
 with the advanced capabilities of the JPF
 The JPF or a variant is a good solution for
 the Navy
 ü Already in production
 ü Low cost
 ü High reliability
 ü The JPF is already integrated with the
 F/A-18 and F-35
 Kaman is aggressively pursuing this
 opportunity

New Technology and Opportunities - Fuzing
  Transition Electronic Safe and Arm Device (ESAD) from development
 to production
  Supporting Raytheon in successfully transitioning Pyros into a
 production program
