SMAW Follow-On
Abstract
Follow on to Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) (FOTS): The solution to the Follow on to SMAW (FOTS) capability requirement is a Family of Marine-portable Rocket Systems. This Family of Systems is composed of separate lightweight, short range, fire-and-forget weapons. Marine Expeditionary Forces will employ the Family of Systems across the spectrum of conflict, under all environmental conditions, to neutralize or destroy a variety of ground targets including personnel, thin-skinned vehicles, and positions. The Family of Systems include various systems, such as SMAW Mod 2 and M3A1 Multi-purpose Anti-Armor Weapon System (MAAWS), with future capability for expansion to additional systems. SMAW Mod 2 consists of a new launcher with an integrated laser range finder and thermal sight. MAAWS consists of a new launcher and integrated fire control system. Future systems and capabilities include similar Marine-portable fire-and-forget shoulder-launched rocket systems with anti-armor, anti-personnel, anti-material, and assault capabilities.
