Counter-Defilade Target Engagement - SDD

Abstract

The Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE), FT Benning, GA (User Community) identifies the Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) as a critical capability gap for our Soldiers in combat. A Next Generation Counter Defilade Weapon to mitigate the critical capability gap (defeating defilade (hidden) targets from 35-500m) is required. The Next Generation Counter Defilade Weapon will provide the Infantry Soldier with a leap-ahead overmatch capability that allows the Soldier to engage defilade targets with a high degree of accuracy while posing minimal burden, in terms of weight and size. The system will integrate a weapon, ammunition, and a target acquisition/fire control subsystem that integrates thermal capability with direct-view optics, laser rangefinder, environmental sensors, ballistic computer, and internal display.
