Futures Meeting November 2009

Abstract

A Futures Conference was held in accordance with the directions of the Joint Service Small Arms Program (JSSAP) from 17-19 November 2009, at the Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, OH. The conference attendees were recruited from Battelle staff and primarily JSSAP personnel. The participants were broken into three groups under the guidance of a group leader who had small arms expertise. The areas for discussion were: Energy: Supplying power for the warfighter's individual weapon system to reduce weight and alleviate resupply/logistics issues. Discussions were encouraged on better energy management methods including generation and conservation. Target Engagement: Improving the warfighter's ability to engage the target. This includes better sighting, the ability to mass fire, and engaging Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) and Non Line of Sight (NLOS) targets. Target Effectiveness: Improving the effectiveness of any ordnance delivered on the target.
