Stabilized Small Arms Mount (Navy)
Abstract
Tests an innovative, highly reliable, two-man portable Stabilized Small Arms Mount (SSAM) suitable for the harsh maritime and operational environments in which the warfighters of small-to-medium size craft operates. The gyro stabilized system should be able to consistently and accurately deliver first hit capability of small arms fire to intended targets without increasing any of the craft's signatures. The system will replace crew-served weapon stations, allowing the operator to move in off the weather deck. The primary outputs and efficiencies produced by this project are 1) increased weapon capability, reliability, and warfighter safety; 2) avoidance of RDT&E costs worth $4.200 million; and 3) avoidance of Operations and Support costs worth $49.400 million.
