Small Arms Fire Control
Abstract
Small Arms Fire Control (SAFC) is a requirement for optimized fire control devices with improved Size Weight and Power (SWAP) to support Squad (S), Crew Served (CS) and Precision (P) and hand held devices. SAFC shall increase the probability of hit and decrease time to engage across a range of small arms weapon systems, with a direct-view optic that allows for quicker and more accurate target detection and recognition. The SAFC will utilize an open system of systems architecture comprised of modular components, to deliver to current ground forces the initial increased core capability followed by increasing increments of capability/enhancements over time as technology matures and evolves. Small Arms Fire Control will culminate in multiple configurations to include but not limited to Small Arms Fire Control - Squad (SAFC-S), Small Arms Fire Control - Crew Served (SAFC-CS), Small Arms Fire Control - Precision (SAFC-P), as well as enhancements. They may include technology such as variable magnification direct view (day) optics, atmospheric sensors, an overlaid digital display, weapon orientation sensors, range determination, ballistic computer, disturbed reticle, and networked lethality. FY2020 RDT&E funding in the amount of $21.463 million will support integration, manufacture, and testing of Next Generation Fire Control technologies and continue the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Phases for all EMD ready Fire Control configurations and other associated fire control efforts. FY2020 funding will be focused on bid sample contract awards, down selection, design/prototyping, developmental and initial operational testing and evaluation.
