Small Arms Fire Control

Abstract

Next Generation Squad Weapon - Fire Control (NGSW-FC) is an advanced fire control device to support the Next Generation Squad Weapons. NGSW-FC increases the probability of hit and decreases the time to engage through a variable powered direct view optic with integrated range finder, ballistic calculator, and digital display capable of providing an adjusted aim point. The NGSW-FC will utilize open architecture to deliver the initial increased core capability followed by increasing increments of capability/enhancements over time as technology matures and evolves. Capability enhancements will be developed through iterative prototyping that may include technology such as advanced camera based capabilities; optical augmentation; aim augmentation; weapon stabilization; wind sensing; optimization of size, weight, and power; advanced network lethality; advanced ruggedization; and augmented reality.
