Required Operational Capability (ROC) Number INS 1.01C, Shoulder- Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW). Revision

Abstract

This document discusses the Marine Corps requirement for a high payload-to-weight ratio assault weapon with a family of rounds that will enable the Marine infantryman to destroy a variety of ground targets found on the modern battlefield. These targets include field fortifications (bunkers), urban structures, automatic weapon positions, and armor. The SMAW, with the dual mode assault round, has achieved required initial operational capability (IOC) of 1st qtr FY85. The required IOC for the high explosive antiarmor (HEAA) round is 1st qtr FY88 (FY87 desired). Other rounds will be included in the family as their essential characteristics are defined. Future revisions to this ROC will identify these requirements.
