If successful, this technology will transition to USSOCOM’s Program Executive Office, Special Operations Forces Warrior for follow-on procurement. Test article contract award and test planning occurred in the fourth quarter FY 2020. In FY 2021, the completion of live-fire testing, warhead characterization and final test shots occurred.
