Joint Service Small Arms Program

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) matures and demonstrates advanced technologies that provide greater lethality, target acquisition, fire control, 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 PE support the Army Science and Technology Lethality Portfolio. Work in this PE is related to and fully integrated with the efforts funded in PE 0602623A (Joint Service Small Arms Program), PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology) and PE 0602618A (Ballistic Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. The work in this PE is performed by the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM).
