Individual Assault Munition (IAM)
Abstract
As an improvement over existing Shoulder Launched Munitions, IAM will fit within the Soldier Lethality Modernization Priority, by reducing Soldier load, while providing tactical innovation capable of extending overmatch against near-peer adversaries in a joint, multi-domain, high-intensity conflict. The IAM will allow Soldiers to conduct Urban Operations with an ability to defeat targets in an open space or in defilade at extended ranges. It will also allow Soldiers to defeat adversaries protected by field expedient structures and light armored vehicles. This solution will be effective day or night with the ability to safely engage targets from within enclosures using single hearing protection, increasing Soldier survivability. This solution will combine the capabilities of the existing BDM and the AT4CS-RS, which will allow for reduced Soldier load and training complexity, as well as reducing the logistics burden for Light Infantry, Combat Engineers, and Special Operations Forces.
