Abstract	Munitions are currently loaded on fighter aircraft using 1950s technology. The United States Air Force and Navy have an on-going joint program to determine the feasibility of significantly enhancing the capabilities of munitions handling equipment by incorporating emerging technologies into a new system design. The program was initiated by a study sponsored by the Munitions Material Handling Equipment focal point who also maintains overall program management. The Air Force Material Command Robotics and Automation Center of Excellence is providing technical direction for the design and development of the next generation munitions handler advanced technology demonstrator. Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed the detailed conceptual design and is currently manufacturing system components. A fully automated solution is not technically feasible. More importantly, the munitions handling community is not looking to replace human operators, but rather enhance their efficiency while improving working conditions and reducing workload. The solution lies in the incorporation of emerging technologies into the munitions handling process.
