Thermal Fire Control for the Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-personnel Weapon System (MAAWS) (United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM))
Abstract
Validates software upgrades to the Army Navy Nomenclature/Passive (AN/PAS13) Thermal Weapons Sight to provide target acquisition for all current and future 84mm ammunition used in the M3 Carl Gustaf MAAWS. AN/PAS13 fire control system (FCS) for crew served weapons is lightweight, compact, with 3X electronic zoom, and contains programmable reticules and thermal imaging technology. The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated in the project are an increase in battlefield lethality during day/night, in smoke and fog environmental conditions; while avoiding Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E), manufacturing, production, and operations and support costs worth approximately $36.000 million.
