Soldier Squad Small Arms Armaments Technology
Abstract
This Project investigates individual and crew-served weapon designs and technologies that enhance the fighting capabilities and survivability of the dismounted Warfighter in support of all of the Services. In addition, it conceives and advances weapon concepts based on innovative ballistic and advanced incapacitation technologies that will enhance the defeat of hard and soft infantry targets at extended ranges based upon the Joint Service Small Arms Technology Development Strategy (JSATDS). The Project will continue to support technology needs from the all Services to include the Next Generation Family of Weapons. In addition, this Project will develop the technology/weapons concepts that will upgrade medium and heavy support weapons at echelons. Finally, this Project will perform research directed toward non-kinetic modalities to incapacitate combatants. Work in this Project supports key Army needs and leverages the technical research of several PEs to include PE 0601102A (Defense Science Research) / Project AA7 (Mechanics and Ballistics), PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology), and PE 0602141A (Lethality Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
