Precision Munition (Sniper)
Abstract
The Precision Munition (Sniper) project is a critical technology development in response to the Precision Munition Capabilities Development Documents (CDD) for the ammunition required to support the Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) / sniper weapons systems. The objective is to transfer the latest lethality technology into the suite of ammunition used by snipers. The Precision Munition improvement is split into three capability areas: Anti-Materiel (AM), Improved Performance Round (IPR), and Subsonic. The AM and IPR capabilities will enhance lethal effects at greater distances. The Subsonic capability will increase soldier survivability at close range by providing a low-sound signature munition that is undetectable to the enemy. Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 funding supports rapid development of the AM munitions and evaluation of ammunition prototypes/concepts. FY 2022 also supports rapid development of the IPR munitions by manufacturing and maturing prototype designs. And, FY 2022 supports evaluating and maturing industry Subsonic munitions solutions and conducting safety testing.
