Army Selects 10 Commercial Subcompact Weapons for Future Testing






Military.com 12 Jun 2018 By Matthew Cox
U.S. Army weapons officials plan to purchase subcompact weapons from 10 different gun makers for testing in an effort to better arm personal security detail units.

U.S. Army Contracting Command, on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Weapons, recently announced it will spend $428,480 to award sole-source contracts to Beretta USA, Colt Manufacturing Company, CMMG Inc., CZ-USA, Sig Sauer and five other small-arms makers for highly concealable subcompact weapon systems "capable of engaging threat personnel with a high volume of lethal and accurate fires at close range with minimal collateral damage," according to a June 6 special award notice.

"Currently, Personal Security Detail (PSD) military personnel utilize pistols and rifles; however, there is an operational need for additional concealability and lethality," the notice states. "Failure to provide the selected SCW for assessment and evaluation will leave PSD military personnel with a capability gap which can result in increased warfighter casualties and jeopardize the success of the U.S. mission."

Companies selected have until June 16 to respond to the notice. The weapons will be used in an evaluation to "inform current capabilities for the Capability Production Document for the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence," the notice states.

"The acquisition of the SCW is essential in meeting the agency's requirement to support Product Manager, Individual Weapons mission to assess commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) SCWs in order to fill a capability gap in lethality and concealability."

Here is a list of sole-source contracts for the subcompact weapons:

Beretta USA Corporation for PMX subcompact weapon. Amount: $16,000.
Colt's Manufacturing Company LLC for CM9MM-9H-M5A, Colt Modular 9mm subcompact weapon. Amount: $22,000.
CMMG Inc. for Ultra PDW subcompact weapon. Amount: $8,500.
CZ-USA for Scorpion EVO 3 A1 submachine gun. Amount: $14,490.
Lewis Machine & Tool Company for MARS-L9 compact suppressed weapon. Amount: $21,900.
PTR Industries Inc. for PTR 9CS subcompact weapon. Amount: $12,060.
Quarter Circle 10 LLC 5.5 CLT and 5.5 QV5 subcompact weapons. Amount: $24,070.
Sig Sauer Inc. for MPX subcompact weapon. Amount: $20,160.
Trident Rifles LLC for B&T MP9 machine gun. Amount: $36,000.
Zenith Firearms for Z-5RS, Z-5P and Z-5K subcompact weapons. Amount: $39,060.

Posiblemente para fusiles sea una tecnología que esté aún muy verde. Pero sí parece que los chinos están apostando por el láser especialmente en material más pesado

Es muy fácil: ¿Cuántos kwh puedes almacenar en cuánto volumen y peso? ¿En cuántos disparos divides esa capacidad?

Esta claro que no es para mañana, ni siquiera para el año que viene, seguramente ni para la siguiente decada. Y dicho esto, que capacidad tenian las baterias (de los telefonos por ejemplo) hace 10 anos y cuanto pesaban y cuanto tienen ahora?? Los datos del articulo me parecen exageradisimos, 1000 disparos por cargador (bateria de litio) me cuesta creermelo, a la fuerza tiene que tener muy poca potencia. Pero si en x años consiguen concentrar esos 1000 disparos por bateria en, pongamos 100, y aumentar la capacidad de la bateria digamos que utilizando baterias de grafeno u otras tecnologias.......

Es una tecnologia en estado embrional, le falta mucho no, muchisimo, pero ya tienen una base sobre la que desarrollar

Los temas eléctricos avanzan mucho, muchísimo más despacio de lo que los medios nos quieren hacer creer con sus artículos. El salto del LiPo llevó casi 20 años de inversión bestial, y es un pico que tardaremos mucho en superar, si es que lo logramos.

y la densidad energética de las baterias LiPo es muy inferior a la de la gasolina :(

Estoy convencido de que es una vía muerta. Los láseres tácticos funcionales van en trailers pesados, y ha sido un logro tecnológico bestial

Raytheon prepara un laser para instalar en vehiculos tacticos medios, y anuncia (y por eso lo pongo aqui) que podra entregar pronto rifles laser. Hace mencion a un informe en el que se asegura que las armas laser son asequibles y pronto supondran una ventaja critica.

El 25 de mayo de 1977, Lucasfilm estrenaba 'La guerra de las galaxias'. Una película, ambientada en un futuro lejano,

Otro inútil. Éste candidato al pozo del sarlacc. Cualquiera sabe que Star Wars está ambientada hace mucho tiempo, no en el futuro.

Textron is gambling that its 14 years of work on case-telescoped weapons research will satisfy the U.S. Army's ambitious requirements for an M249 squad automatic weapon replacement.

The service recently awarded Textron and five other gunmakers a contract to build prototype weapons for its Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle program.

The contract awards are the result of a Prototype Opportunity Notice the Army released in March in an effort to develop a futuristic replacement for the three-decade-old M249. The Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle, or NGSAR, is one of the Army's primary efforts under its soldier lethality modernization priority.

"The NGSAR will address operational needs identified in various capability-based assessments and numerous after action reports," according to the PON solicitation document.

"It will combine the firepower and range of a machine gun with the precision and ergonomics of a rifle, yielding capability improvements in accuracy, range, and lethality," the document continues. "The weapon will be lightweight and fire lightweight ammunition, improving soldier mobility, survivability, and firing accuracy."

Wayne Prender, vice president of Applied Technologies & Advanced Programs at Textron Systems, talked to Military.com about his firm's approach to the prototype effort.

"We are leveraging and building upon our lineage of lightweight squad weapon technologies that we have been working on over the last 14 years," he said.

Textron was notified in late June of the contract award to deliver one prototype weapon, one fire control system and 2,000 rounds of ammunition within 12 months, Prender said.

Military.com has asked the Army to identify the other five companies that were awarded contracts, but the service did not have an answer by press time.

The Army intends to evaluate the prototypes in an attempt to refine the requirements for the NGSAR.

"It was disclosed at industry day: The result of this prototype opportunity will be yet another full and open competition," Prender said.

The Army wants the prototype weapons -- including sling, bipod and suppressor -- to weigh no more than 12 pounds and have a maximum length of 35 inches, according to the PON document.

The weapon must have a sustained rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute for 15 minutes without requiring a barrel change, the document states.

Under the weapon controllability requirement, a soldier "firing standing with optic at a 50-meter E-Type silhouette given 3 to 5 round burst must be able to engage in 2-4 seconds placing two rounds 70 percent of the time on target," it adds.

The Army also wants ammunition to weigh 20 percent less than the current brass-cased ammo, the document states.

This is where Textron has invested a large amount of research into its case-telescoped ammunition technology. The futuristic cartridges -- featuring a plastic case rather than a brass one to hold the propellant and the projectile, like a conventional shotgun shell -- offer significant weight reductions compared to conventional ammo.

Textron has developed light and medium machine guns that fire 5.56mm and 7.62mm case-telescoped ammunition under the Lightweight Small Arms Technology program, an effort the Army has invested millions of research dollars into over the last decade.

Last year, the company unveiled its new Intermediate Case-Telescoped Carbine, chambered for 6.5mm.

Despite Textron's experience in this arena, Prender admits it will not be easy to deliver what the Army wants.

"They have some pretty aggressive goals with respect to lethality and weight and size and some other performance characteristics," he said. "All of those things individually may be relatively easy but, when you start stacking them all together, that is really where it becomes complex and you need a new design."

Prender would not give specifics about the prototype Textron is submitting, but said "we are taking lessons from all of our case-telescoped projects to include the 5.56mm, 7.62mm and the intermediate caliber -- all that information is informing this new design."

"There is not an easy button here. Certainly, we think our case-telescoped solution is an ideal one to meet these requirements ... but there is development that is necessary over and above what we have done to date," he added.
