Rifle Accessory Control Unit
Abstract
This project tests a rifle mounted device capable of controlling various weapon accessories or radios. This device enables Marines to maintain situational awareness without taking their hand off the weapon. If successful, this technology will be transitioned to the Program Manager for Marine Expeditionary Rifle Squad for follow on procurement and fielding. Phase I Squad Usability tests were completed in 1Q FY 2018. Environmental/shock testing was conducted in 2-3Q FY 2018. Phase II Platoon Usability tests were conducted in 3-4Q FY 2018. This project continues in FY 2019 with FY 2019 funds. If successful, this technology will be transitioned to the Program Manager for Marine Expeditionary Rifle Squad for follow on procurement and fielding.
