JOINT SERVICE SMALL ARMS PROGRAM

Abstract

This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates advanced technologies that integrate into individual and crew served weapons for all Services. All work is done under the Joint Service Small Arms Program (JSSAP) (Project 627) and are based upon the Joint Service Small Arms Master Plan (JSSAMP) and the Joint Capabilities Integration Development System's Small Arms Analyses. This PE also supports the maturation and demonstration of Lightweight Small Arms Technologies (LSAT) which offers significantly reduced weight over the currently fielded weapons and ammunition . The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the US Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ.
