Fire Control System for Special Operation Forces (SOF) Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) Grenade Launcher (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This project will extend the effective range of the SCAR Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module from 200 to 600 meters. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: this project integrates the fire control and ammunition programming technology that is necessary to fire a medium velocity 40 mm programmable grenade from the SCAR, in an effort to counter the current rocket propelled grenade threat. RDT&E cost avoidance is estimated at $250.000 million. An estimated savings in combat operations of $15.000 million per year are realized. Fielding reduction is greater than five years. Completion date is scheduled for September 2010.
