Summary of Small Arms SectionDesired Capabilities

Individual Weapons• Carbine Product Improvements: M4A1 MWO proceeding

• NGSW-AR/R system on FBO

• NGSW Ammo (GP, RRA, Blank, CCMCK)

Sniper Weapons/Accessories and SDM-R

• Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) CPD approved

• SDM-R DR proceeding 1 per IN Squad

• New equipment being added to the ASAK for units

Pistols/Suppressions/Shotguns

• Modular Handgun System (MHS) M17/M18 and Holster in fielding, Enabler to select maneuver positions

• Signature Suppression capabilities for both visual and acoustic signatures

• Tactical Compact Shotgun (TCS)

Crew Served Weapons

• Mounted Machinegun Optic for Mounted Machinegun (CPD Approved, RFP for paper proposal released 19 OCT 18, Down select complete, pending TC/FMR 2QFY20)

• Mounting solutions to support MG enablers and Fire Control integration (Articulating Rail, MK19 brackets, M192 Improvement)

• Future platoon Machine gun and Fire Control: pending the outcome of Sqd FC associated with NGSW-AR Soldier touch points, prototyping, & other industry input.

Optics• Fire Control across all platforms

• AFC and PM-CSW is interested in long range precision “smart scope” technology

• New optics are starting to be issued at the institutional level with updated reticles


Small Arms Fire Control

Fire Control is target engagement activities that maximize probability of hit and increase lethality

Small Arms Fire Control Threshold capability puts bullets on target faster and more accurately

through optical clarity far target location, environmental sensing, ballistic computation, an

adjusted aiming point, and includes diagnostics, prognostics and training capabilities. Strategy is

to procure four variants:

• Squad (squad carbine / automatic rifle)

• Crew served (M240L)

• Long Range (LR) precision (sniper)

• Medium Range (MR) precision (sniper)

Small Arms Fire Control Fire P(h) benefits


Summary of Small Arms SectionDesired Capabilities (cont.)

Small Caliber Ammunition

• Short-Range Anti-Personnel (XM1168): Improved Lethality against close range, threat personnel

40mm High Velocity Ammunition

• Improved High Explosive Dual Purpose: Increased lethality, Counter defilade, Improved accuracy, Programmable HEAB


Ammunition

Lightweight Small Caliber Ammunition (LSCA)

• Reduces Soldier load for one of his heaviest items – ammo

• Drop in solution for existing family of for 5.56mm, 7.62mm and .50 CAL weapons

• No compromise in current capability (e.g. reliability and durability)

One Way Luminescence (OWL) Ammunition

• Increases Soldier survivability by fielding a tracer our adversaries can’t readily see

• Drop in solution for existing family of for 5.56mm, 7.62mm and .50 CAL weapons

• Also increases effectiveness of current tracer ammo through advanced design

• Potential to eliminate tracer / ball mixed ammo in the future


Next Generation Squad Weapon(s)

• 6.8mm (not SPC)

• First Unit Equipped 4QFY22

• Automatic Rifle and Rifle

• Increased muzzle velocity/energy

• Improved Probability of Hit with NGSW-FC

• Improved Probability of Incapacitation

• Lightweight Weapon

• Lightweight Ammo

• Suppressed

• Controllable recoil

• Round counter

• Addresses SA CBA/Squad Gaps/SAAC (precise fire, volume fire, improved operation and maintenance, avoid detection, improve Soldier mobility)


MAAWS (M3E1) Fire Control

Fire Control is target engagement activities that maximize probability of hit and increase lethality

MAAWS Fire Control capability should be no more then four pounds and capable of ranging

target sets up to 2400 meters putting 84mm rounds on target faster and more accurately through

optical clarity far target location, laser range designation, environmental sensing, ballistic

solutions, disturbed reticle, cant meter, provide moving target ballistic solutions, compatible with

future smart rounds, provided integrated NVD/Thermal capability, magnification, includes

diagnostics, and training capabilities.

Future Electro-optics/Night Vision systems must:

• Provide a fully integrated day/night fire control system for all small arms

• Change the design/form factor of head mounted goggles

- Version I: Small Form Factor Goggle

- Version II: Integrated Helmet/Conformal System (See through Head

mounted display compatible with NBC Equipment)

• Reduce Soldier burden and Solder-required adjustments (so hands can stay on

weapon)

- Automatic adjustment of imagery (individual sensor and fused imagery)

- Matched sensor Fields-of-View; matched latency

- Multi-Spectral Rapid Targeting Acquisition (RTA)

- Target Aided Tracking/Identification

• Provide a data display/interface for Soldier Network (Soldier as a System)

- Overlay Data from Soldier Devices onto Sensor Imagery

- Overlay Soldier Ammo Status on Sensor Imagery

- Data Display which provides for Soldier Route Planning/Heading

Information

• Provide advanced power management

• Leverage individual Soldier sensors to provide new capabilities

- Transmit fused imagery across the battlefield

• Respond to possible downturn of US I2 industrial base and increased cost
