Crew Served Weapons Engineering Development
Abstract
The Crew Served Weapons Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) program provides funds to transition components or prototypes from Budget Activity 4 (BA 4) Program Element (PE) 0603827A Soldier Systems - Advanced Development Project S54 Small Arms Improvement and other domestic and foreign sources of small arms weapon systems to demonstrate, test and evaluate capability near or at planned operational requirements. Crew Served Weapons systems include weapons ranging up to 40 millimeter in caliber. Current and future efforts focus on system improvements designed to enhance lethality, target acquisition, fire control, usability, training effectiveness and reliability of weapons to include ammunition when developing and/or evaluating standard and non-standard weapons. Focus areas include system development, integration (to include human-systems), demonstration, test and evaluate components, prototypes and operational system prototypes of small arms weapon systems and/or enhancements. Benefits include continuous improvements to small arms weapon systems, fire control equipment, optics, gun barrels, ancillary equipment, training devices, component mounts, weapon mounts, and weapon/ammunition interface of current small arms fleet or new weapon systems.
