SOF WARRIOR PM – AMMO & WEAPONS

UNCLASSIFIED

PM – AMMO & WEAPONS MISSION Develop, procure and sustain Weapon,

Visual Augmentation, Fire Support capabilities, and Munitions for specific

missions when Service solutions do not meet SOF requirements.

SOF Unique Attributes/Focus: • VAS: EXPAND LIMITED VISABLITY ADVANTAGES over

Sophisticated Threats

• Fire Support Systems: REDUCE THE WEIGHT of Pointers, Markers, Target Location Devices. Develop more PRECISE AND ACCURATE munitions systems

• Weapons: Improve suppressors (flash, sound & glint) for REDUCED SIGNATURE to obtain/maintain LOW VISIBILITY

• Ammunition: COVERTNESS through Flash-less powder, subsonic munitions; accurate across all temperatures, enhanced lethality

UNCLASSIFIED

ACQUISITION PHILOSOPHY • Maximize utilization of Service Common

material solution – Fully integrated in the requirements/development process via

multiple joint venues/IPTs

• Build SOF Specific material solution – Competitive Procurements via 5 Year IDIQ Contracts – Focused on SOF-specific missions – Transition from SOF to regular forces

• Modified Commercial Off the Shelf

UNCLASSIFIED

AMMO & WEAPONS PORTFOLIO • Visual Augmentation Systems

– Helmet Mounted: Image Intensified (I2) Binocular, Clip-On Thermal Imager, Fusion

– Mounted: Clip-On Night Vision Devices, Direct Optic Magnified Sights, Red Dot Aiming Devices

– Handheld: Thermal Imagers, Laser Markers

• Weapons and Accessories – Combat Assault Rifles – Machine Guns – Sniper Rifles – Laser Pointers, Illuminators, and Suppressors

• Ammunition, Demolitions and Breaching – Small Caliber Ammunition – Shoulder Fired Systems – Aviation Ammunition – Demolitions and Pyrotechnics

VAS FUTURE A Globally networked force of SOF, interagency,

allies and partners able to rapidly or persistently

address Regional contingencies

and threats to stability USSOCOM Strategy 2020

Smaller Lightweight Integrated Systems

Furthering Visual Augmentation Capabilities: • Innovative solutions with increased reliability

and bandwidth • Increased resolution and field of vision for rapid

threat detection and identification • Information from multiple sources integrated on

helmet mounted displays • Augmented Reality for navigation and improved

situation awareness • Color and enhancements to increase range and

capability to see in all lighting conditions, fog and obscurants

• Big Data integration to collect, process, utilize facial recognition and biometrics

• Long duration run-time
