JOINT SERVICE SMALL ARMS PROGRAM

Abstract

This project matures and demonstrates advanced technologies that provide greater lethality, target acquisition, fire control, training effectiveness and range at a significantly reduced weight. These technologies lighten the Soldier's load, provide improved battlefield mobility, and reduce logistics burden while maintaining or improving current levels of performance. Efforts in this program element support the Soldier Science and Technology portfolio. Work in this PE is related to and fully integrated with the efforts funded in PE 0602623A (Joint Service Small Arms Program) and PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the US Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ.
