The Objective Personal Weapon Shooters' Conference 22-23 February 1995.
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to assist the Joint Service Small Arms Program (JSSAP) Office in defining the requirements for the Objective Personal Weapon, OPW, which is a member of the Objective Family of Small Arms. This report documents the early efforts to address preliminary goals for the (OPW) and the agreements reached at a Shooters' Conference held in FEB 1995. The report contains: description of the conference, list of attendees, and description of how the various users foresee the application of an OPW; summary of each briefing and specific goals identified that each shooter felt is needed; discussions of each OPW goal as agreed to by the participants, with caveats identified as appropriate; and conclusions reached by the attendees (with exceptions as noted in general terms as to the operational environment, targets, time frame of interest, performance parameters, and weapon characteristics. These preliminary goals and expressions of needs will form the basis of a Small Arms Symposium with the ADPA in June 1 995, where the goals will be explained to industry representatives. A subsequent conference among interested industry and government agencies will be held in August where potential technology approaches to meeting the stated goals will be presented, and discussed.
