Lightweight Short Range Guided Missile (USSOCOM)

Abstract

This project comparatively tests man-portable, shoulder-fired missile systems that utilize seeker technology for engaging static or moving targets at extended ranges. This capability is compared to existing unguided weapons systems within the USSOCOM inventory and provides a more affordable guided munition than the FGM-148 Javelin weapon system. Live-Fire testing was completed in 4Q FY 2022 and final test and closeout reports were completed in 1Q FY 2023. This project continued in FY 2023 with FY 2022 funding. This technology will transition to USSOCOM’s Program Executive Office, Special Operations Forces Warrior for follow-on procurement.
