20 mm Training System for Carl Gustaf (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This project was re-advertised in Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) to consider other than 20 mm candidates to preclude a possible protest and is now entitled Cannon Caliber Training System for Carl Gustaf. The Carl Gustaf is the primary anti-armor and anti-personnel weapon for the US Army Special Operations Command and US Naval Special Warfare Command warfighters. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: cannon sub-caliber training rounds inserted into an 84 mm weapon adapter will provide cost efficient, realistic training; while ensuring more expensive 84 mm ammunition is available for mission accomplishment. The RDT&E potential savings is estimated at $3.400 million and procurement is estimated at $145.000 million. Total Operations and Support savings are estimated at $46.000 million. Fielding reduction is greater than three years. Completion date is scheduled for September 2011.
