programs and illustrates our ongoing efforts to empower, unburden and protect our Soldiers. The Army’s 

Acquisition community is charged with the solemn responsibility of maintaining our Soldiers’ unprecedented 

edge against current and future threats. 

With program descriptions, status and specifications, projected activities, and names and locations of large 

and small contractors, this book will provide you with a better understanding of our efforts to provide 

Soldiers with the best, most advanced and sustainable equipment possible. To this end, we are mindful of

the public trust imposed by the use of taxpayer resources. We continuously seek to improve our business 

practices to meet the needs of our Soldiers on an efficient and timely basis. 

In providing our Soldiers with world-class capabilities, Army acquisition’s most important asset is our 

people. Our skilled and dedicated professionals, working in Program Executive Offices and program offices 

throughout the nation, execute diverse responsibilities to enable the disciplined management of an extensive 

acquisition portfolio with programs that range from Soldiers systems to precision fires and from air and 

mission defense to ground combat systems. The responsibility of safeguarding future Army capabilities is a 

significant honor for the acquisition community and is one that we do not take lightly.

Provides enhanced mission 

effectiveness, leveraging clothing and 

equipment to maximize aircrew member 

survivability. 

DESCRIPTION

Air Warrior (AW) is a modular, 

integrated, rapidly reconfi gurable 

combat aircrew ensemble that saves 

lives and maximizes Army aircrew 

mission performance. Previous aviation 

life support equipment consisted of a 

non-integrated assemblage of protective 

and survival gear. AW uses a systems 

approach to equip the aircrew and close 

the capability gap between human and 

machine. Fielded incrementally in blocks 

to rapidly provide enhanced capabilities 

to the warfi ghter, AW leverages and 

integrates clothing and equipment, such 

as the Army Aircrew Combat Uniform 

and ballistic protection from other 

product managers.

AW Block I provides:

%Survival Equipment Subsystem, 

which integrates fi rst aid, survival, 

signaling, and communications 

equipment with body armor and overwater survival subsystems

WHAT ARE SYSTEM 

INTERDEPENDENCIES? 

The purpose of the System 

Interdependencies section is to 

identify which other weapon systems 

or components (if any) the main system 

works in concert with or relies upon 

for its operation. We categorize the 

interdependencies in two ways: 1) 

under the heading “In this Publication,” 

which is a listing of systems in this 

2013 edition and 2) “Other Major 

Interdependencies,” which is a listing 

of systems that are not included in 

this publication.

WHAT ARE INVESTMENT 

COMPONENTS? 

Modernization programs develop 

and/or procure new systems with 

improved warfighting capabilities.

Recapitalization programs rebuild 

or provide selected upgrades to 

currently fielded systems to ensure 

operational readiness and a zero-time, 

zero-mile system.

Maintenance programs include the 

repair or replacement of end items, 

parts, assemblies, and subassemblies 

that wear out or break. 

WHAT ARE ACQUISITION 

PHASES?

Technology Development refers to 

the development of a materiel solution 

to an identified, validated need. 

During this phase, the Mission Needs 

Statement is approved, technology 

issues are considered, and possible 

alternatives are identified. This phase 

includes:

s#ONCEPTEXPLORATION

Engineering & Manufacturing 

Development is the phase in which 

a system is developed, program risk 

is reduced, operational supportability 

and design feasibility are ensured, 

and feasibility and affordability 

are demonstrated. This is also the 

phase in which system integration, 

interoperability, and utility are 

demonstrated. It includes:

is feasible, some programs and systems 

may be in all four phases at the same 

time. Mature programs are often only 

in one phase, such as operations and 

support, while newer systems are only 

in concept and technology development.

MISSION

Provide our Soldiers a decisive advantage in any 

mission by developing, acquiring, fielding, and 

sustaining the world’s best equipment and services 

and leveraging technologies and capabilities to meet 

current and future Army needs.

VISION

Highly efficient, effective, agile organization 

responsible for acquiring, developing, delivering, 

supporting, and sustaining the most capable 

affordable systems and services for our Soldiers:

// Enabling our Soldiers to dominate the battlespace, 

safely and securely.

// Enabling our Soldiers to achieve first look,

WEAPON SYSTEMS 2013
UNITED STATES ARMY

The U.S. Army is involved in combat operations 

around the world against adaptive enemies able 

to take advantage of the ever-increasing pace of 

TECHNOLOGICALCHANGE#ONCURRENTLYWEAREFACING

an increasingly constrained fiscal environment. 

In this challenging environment, our goal in the 

Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology community 

is to do everything we can to provide the best 

equipment and services to our Soldiers. 

Our Soldiers require comprehensive capabilities 

that allow them to communicate, engage, and 

disengage. Our troops must continue to operate 

with confidence in their equipment, operational 

capabilities, communication technology, enhanced 

situational awareness, and force protection. We 

must provide our Soldiers a decisive advantage 

in every fight so they return safely from every 

operation and engagement.

Modernizing the Army enables us to counter 

rapidly emerging threats that change the nature 

of battlefield operations. Through lessons learned, 

the Army will develop and field new capabilities or 

sustain, improve, or divest current systems based 

on operational value, capabilities shortfalls, and 

available resources. 

After 10 years of combat, today’s Army is 

significantly more capable than the Army of 2001. 

As we draw down from Iraq and Afghanistan, we 

must remain flexible, adaptable, and agile enough 

to respond and meet the needs of the combatant 

commanders. Our objective is to equip and maintain 

an Army with the latest most advanced weaponry to 

win and return home quickly. 

STRATEGIC CONTEXT

The right foundation for success is based on sound 

planning – we cannot succeed unless requirements 

are matched with stable and well-planned 

resources under sound program management. 

This necessary collaboration does not end when 

programs are launched – and we have learned 

that it DOES take this collaboration to even get 

THEMLAUNCHEDINTHECASEOFTHE'ROUND#OMBAT

acquisition lifecycle. We have also reviewed our 

ongoing programs to mitigate risk by embracing 

competition, adopting sensible acquisition 

strategies that reflect more realistic assessments 

of what a program will cost, and address 

technological maturity. 

The Assistant Secretary of the Army for 

Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (ASA(ALT)) 

is deeply invested in developing, delivering, and 

sustaining the best weapons technology available. 

With the Soldier as the key focus, ASA(ALT) seeks 

to equip Soldiers with the best in cutting-edge 

technology and effectively manage over 600+ 

programs that are vital to success in combat.

ASA(ALT)’s focus is closely aligned with the Army 

Modernization Strategy, which outlines a series of 

key goals—such as the continued development of 

new technologies engineered to provide Soldiers 

with the decisive edge in battle. These technologies 

in development span a range of new capability 

to include sensors, Unmanned Aircraft Systems 

(UAS), missiles and missile guidance systems, 

EMERGINGCOMBATPLATFORMSSUCHASTHE'#6AND

key technologies such as the Army’s maturing 

network, designed to connect Soldiers, sensors, 

and multiple nodes to one another in real-time to 

improve operational effectiveness across the full 

spectrum of combat operations.

The Army’s equipping strategy is designed to 

counter changing threats and addresses the 

emergence of hybrid threats—the dynamic 

combination of conventional, irregular, terrorist, 

and criminal capabilities. The Army seeks to train, 

develop, and equip Soldiers who are able to stay 

in front of an adaptive, fast-changing adversary. 

By emphasizing the best design, delivery, and 

sustainment of Army equipment, ASA(ALT) will 

remain focused on harnessing scientific innovations 

in order to identify and develop the most promising 

new technologies.

We are focused upon preserving investment in our 

Science and Technology (S&T) efforts, to identify, 

leverage and deliver critical innovations which will 

better equip, empower and enable our force for the 

future. We strive to develop and sustain a near, 

mid and far-term S&T investment strategy so that 

we can spiral in new capabilities and technologies 

as they emerge and also identify disruptive or 

paradigm changing next-generation systems 

and solutions. 

The Army is also implementing a more “Agile” 

acquisition and modernization process by 

conducting Network Evaluation Exercises (NIEs). 

The NIEs place emerging technologies in the hands 

of Soldiers in a combat-realistic environment in 

order to harness their feedback, keep pace with the 

speed of technological change, and in some cases, 

blend commercial-off-the-shelf technologies with 

existing programs of record. The heart of the NIE 

exercises is using the best available technologies 

to move information, voice, video, data, and images 

faster, further, and more efficiently across the

are built on software foundations that enable 

the maximum amount of interoperability. The 

Army’s network will make it possible for Soldiers 

in a vehicle on-the-move to view and share realtime feeds from a nearby robot, ground sensor, or 

UAS—instantaneously providing them combatrelevant information and enabling them to share 

that information with other units on-the-move, 

dismounted Soldiers, and higher echelons 

of the force.

The Army remains focused on finding ways to continually 

examine and improve the acquisition process while increasing 

efficiency and serving as a full partner in the Department of 

Defense’s Better Buying Power Initiatives. 

A major challenge to acquisition continues to be the need to 

properly prioritize, streamline, and collaborate on requirements 

at the front end of the process in order to emphasize 

technological maturity, affordability, and productivity. The 

REVISED2EQUESTFOR0ROPOSALFORTHE'#6ISANEXCELLENT

demonstration of how we approached reform in this area; 

requirements were properly “tiered” and industry was given 

“trade space” designed to encourage innovation.

Also, we have learned of the importance of streamlining and 

at times challenging requirements in order to emphasize 

technological maturity and lower costs wherever possible. 

&ORINSTANCEINOUR*OINT,IGHT4ACTICAL6EHICLEPROGRAMTHE

Army worked with industry participants to “trade-off” certain 

requirements in order to lower costs and meet scheduling goals. 

Through this process, the Army was able to substantially lower 

the unit price of the vehicle while simultaneously ensuring 

the platform will succeed in delivering important nextgeneration capabilities. 

The goal of our acquisition initiatives is to work with our 

industry and academic partners to more efficiently develop and 

deliver capabilities needed by the Soldier. A key aspect of this is 

an effort to identify and address inefficiencies discovered in the 

acquisition process. 

A system-of-systems approach is vital to these ongoing efforts 

to transform business practices. The Army will continue to 

look at developing, managing, and acquiring technologies in 

the most efficient way possible, an approach which includes the 

need to understand the interdependencies among systems. We 

place an emphasis upon maturing the capability to synchronize 

programs and integrate schedules, deliveries, and other 

developments across the acquisition process.

As a result of these and other practices, the acquisition 

community remains acutely aware of its need to further the 

transformation of its business efforts. These initiatives help the 

Army transform as an institution and ensure that the best value 

possible is provided to the taxpayer and the Soldier—who is at 

the very center of these efforts.

ASA(ALT) will continue to foster, develop, and enhance its 

relationships with vital industry partners as a way to ensure the best 

possible development of new and emerging systems. With this as an 

organizing principle, ASA(ALT) has an industry outreach engagement 

program squarely focused on furthering partnerships with industry 

and facilitating constructive dialogue designed to achieve the 

best results for Soldiers in combat. Recognizing the importance of 

revitalizing industry engagement, the Army continues to nurture 

this outreach program, fostering and preserving strong relationships 

between the Army and its key industry partners.

Often there are circumstances where procurement sensitivities and 

ongoing competition may preclude the occasion to dialogue with 

industry. There are, nonetheless, ample opportunities for positive, 

proactive, and constructive engagement with industry partners. 

While placing a premium upon the importance of properly defining 

the parameters for discussion with industry partners, ASA(ALT) 

seeks to foster an environment of open dialogue.

The rationale behind this approach is based on the effort to minimize 

misunderstandings and “eleventh hour” reactions. This industry 

program is designed to anticipate future developments, recognize 

and communicate industry trends, and identify the evolution of key 

technologies that will support and protect our Soldiers in combat.

PATH FORWARD

We will provide whatever it takes to achieve the Nation’s 

objectives in the current fight. At the same time, we will 

develop a shared vision to build tomorrow’s Army—designing 

and preparing units, developing Soldiers, and growing leaders 

to win in an increasingly competitive learning environment. 

We will continue to maintain battlefield dominance but remain 

versatile and adaptable to any task our Nation may call upon 

USTOPERFORM#ONTINUOUSMODERNIZATIONISKEYTOTRANSFORMING

Army capabilities and maintaining a technological advantage 

over our adversaries across the full spectrum of operations. 

ASA(ALT) looks forward to collaboration with all stakeholders 

to achieve the Army’s broad modernization goals while 

supporting a cost-conscious culture.

The systems listed in this book are not isolated, individual 

products. Rather, they are part of an integrated Army systemof-systems investment designed to equip the Army of the future 

to successfully face any challenges. Each system and capability 

is important. Our goal is to develop and field a versatile and 

affordable mix of equipment that will enable Soldiers to succeed 

and maintain our decisive advantage over any enemy we face.

ACQUISITION PHASE

MISSION

Integrates aircrew protective clothing, 

electronics, and survival equipment to 

reduce body-worn bulk and weight by 

25% and provides a helmet-mounted 

display with symbology to improve flight 

safety in conditions of poor visibility. 

DESCRIPTION

The Air Soldier System (Air SS) 

is flight crew clothing and individual 

equipment that improves mission 

effectiveness and duration, and 

provides the aviation Soldier with 

the ability to survive, evade hostile 

forces, and safely return to friendly 

forces. It is a mission and survival gear 

carriage system with an integrated 

capability to sustain the Soldier in 

water immersion, extreme heat or cold, 

and protects the Soldier from flash 

fire, crash impact, and chemical and 

ballistic threats. Air SS reduces the 

bulk and weight borne by the 

aviation Soldier by eliminating 

layers of protective clothing without 

compromising protection, and 

combining functions of current 

standalone hardware components, 

batteries, and displays with a new 

body-mounted electronics and 

power management system for the 

physiological support, communications, 

and life support equipment worn by 

the aviation Soldier. Air SS provides 

Army pilots with a new day/night 

flight helmet-mounted display with 

enhanced symbology and head tracking 

to prevent aircraft mishaps in degraded 

visual environments such as darkness, 

fog, or blowing sand, dust, or snow. 

The Air SS reduces combat load 

and improves situational awareness 

and safety.

designed to provide line-of-sight (LOS) 

unmanned mine clearing operations. 

The remote control system provides 

real-time control of the mine-clearing 

vehicle and allows the operator to 

control the vehicle from either a 

mounted or stand-off dismounted 

position. The system is equipped 

with a communication system that 

transfers operating status and video 

feedback to the operator. The M160 

was designed to be suitable for mine 

clearing in urban areas, fields, forests, 

bushes, forest roads, riverbanks, and 

muddy areas. The M160’s hand-held, 

stand-off, remote control feature 

allows the operator to remain outside 

the range of exploding mines during 

the clearing process. The engine and 

vital components of the machine are 

protected by steel armor plates. The 

M160 is designed to be protected 

against mine-explosion fragments. 

Mine clearing is conducted by using the 

flailing motion of high-speed, rotating 

chained hammers. The machine digs 

and powders the soil up to a depth of 2 

inches (threshold)/6 inches (objective), 

depending on soil type. The digging 

action may result in the detonation 

or shattering of AP mines. The M160 

system consists of the following major 

components: engine, hydraulic system, 

flail head assembly, remote control 

system and drive train.

ACQUISITION PHASE

MISSION

Provides field artillery forces with 

modernized munitions to destroy, 

neutralize, or suppress the enemy by 

cannon fire. 

DESCRIPTION

The Army’s artillery ammunition 

program includes 75mm (ceremonies

and simulated firing), 105mm, and

155mm projectiles and their associated

fuzes and propelling charges.

Semi-fixed ammunition for short 

and intermediate ranges, used in 

105mm howitzers, is characterized

by adjusting the number of multiple 

propelling charges. Semi-fixed 

ammunition for long ranges contains 

a single bag of propellant optimized 

for obtaining high velocity and is 

not adjustable. The primer is an 

integral part of the cartridge case, 

and is located in the base. All 105mm

cartridges are issued in a fuzed or 

unfuzed configuration. Both cartridge 

configurations are packaged with 

propellant.

Separate-loading ammunition, used 

in 155mm howizters, has separately

issued projectiles, fuzes, propellant 

charges, and primers. 

After installing the appropriate fuze 

on the projectile, the fuzed projectile 

is loaded into the cannon along with 

the appropriate amount of propellant 

charges and a primer.

The artillery ammunition program 

includes fuzes for cargo-carrying 

projectiles, such as smoke and 

illumination, and bursting projectiles, 

such as high explosives. 

This program also includes bag 

propellant for the 105mm semi-fixed

cartridges and a modular artillery 

charge system for 155mm howitzers.

ACQUISITION PHASE

MISSION

Improves Soldier communication 

resulting in improved operations by 

providing access to email from any 

location, a complete global address 

list, calendar sharing, and management 

capability across the enterprise. 

DESCRIPTION

Enterprise Email (EE) services 

will increase functionality, improve 

mission effectiveness, unify services, 

heighten security, and reduce cost. 

The Army is obtaining EE capabilities 

as a managed service through an 

interagency acquisition with the 

Defense Information Systems Agency 

(DISA). The DoD’s EE service provides 

secure, cloud-based email to the DoD 

enterprise that is designed to increase 

operational efficiency and facilitate 

collaboration across organizational 

boundaries. It provides secure access 

to email anywhere, at any time, 

from any place, whether stationary 

or mobile. EE supports coordination 

efforts by sharing individual, 

organizational, and resource calendars 

across the DoD and its mission 

partners. EE reduces the cost of 

email by eliminating unnecessary 

administration and inefficient network 

configurations, enabling resources to 

focus on other priorities. It provides 

user organizations with the level of 

assurance required to know that their 

communications are secure.

Excalibur uses a jam-resistant internal 

GPS receiver to update the inertial 

navigation system, providing precision 

in-flight guidance and dramatically 

improving accuracy regardless of 

range. Excalibur has three fuze options 

(height-of-burst, point-detonating, and 

delay/penetration) and is employable in 

all weather conditions and terrain.

The program is using an incremental 

approach to provide a combat capability 

to the Soldier as quickly as possible, 

and to deliver advanced capabilities 

and lower costs as technology matures. 

The initial variant (Increment Ia-1) 

includes a unitary high-explosive 

warhead capable of penetrating urban 

structures and is also effective against 

personnel and light materiel targets. 

Increment Ia-2 provides increased

following components: 

Automated Installation Entry (AIE) 

is a software and hardware system 

designed to read and compare vehicles 

and personnel identification media. The 

results of the comparison are used to 

permit or deny access to an installation 

in accordance with installation 

commanders’ criteria. AIE will use 

a database of personnel and vehicles 

that have been authorized entry onto 

an Army installation and appropriate 

entry lane hardware to permit/deny 

access to the installation. The system 

will validate the authenticity of 

credentials presented by a person with 

data available from defense personnel 

and vehicle registration databases. 

AIE will have the capability to process 

permanent personnel and enrolled 

visitors and to present a denial barrier 

to restrict unauthorized personnel. 

The system will also be capable of 

adapting to immediate changes in 

threat conditions and apply restrictive 

entrance criteria consistent with the

meters). It delivers early warning and 

situational awareness information, 

classifying detections as personnel, 

vehicle, wheeled, or tracked intrusions. 

The Lighting Kit, Motion Detector 

(LKMD) is a simple, compact, modular, 

sensor-based early-warning system 

providing programmable responses of 

illumination and sound. The LKMD 

enhances unit awareness during all

Improved Target Acquisition System (ITAS)

MISSION

Provides long-range sensor and 

anti-armor/precision assault fire 

capabilities, enabling the Soldier to 

shape the battlefield by detecting and 

engaging targets at long range with 

tube-launched, optically tracked, wireguided (TOW) missiles or directing the 

employment of other weapon systems 

to destroy those targets. 

DESCRIPTION

The Improved Target Acquisition 

System (ITAS) is a multipurpose 

weapon system used as a 

reconnaissance, surveillance, and 

target acquisition sensor. ITAS 

provides long-range anti-armor/

precision assault fire capabilities to the 

Armys Infantry and Stryker Brigade 

#OMBAT4EAMS"#4S	ASWELLASTO

THE-ARINE#ORPS)4!3ISAMAJOR

product upgrade that greatly reduces 

the number of components, minimizing 

logistics support and equipment 

requirements. Built-in diagnostics and 

improved interfaces enhance target 

engagement performance. 

ITAS’s second-generation forwardlooking infrared sensors double 

the long-range surveillance of its 

predecessor, the M220 TOW system. 

It offers improved hit probability 

with aided target tracking, improved 

missile flight software algorithms, 

and an elevation brake to minimize 

launch transients. The ITAS includes 

an integrated day/night sight with 

eye-safe laser rangefinder, a position 

attitude determination subsystem, a 

fire-control subsystem, a lithium-ion 

battery power source, and a modified 

traversing unit. Soldiers can also 

detect and engage long-range targets 

with TOW missiles or, using the ITAS

Interceptor Body Armor (IBA)

MISSION

Increases warfighter lethality and 

mobility by optimizing Soldier protection 

while effectively managing all lifecycle 

aspects of personal protection 

equipment. 

DESCRIPTION

The U.S. Army’s Interceptor Body 

Armor (IBA) offers highly effective 

ballistic protection to Soldiers. The 

system includes two types of “soft 

armor”: The Improved Outer Tactical 

Vest (IOTV), with mission tailored 

protective attachments, protects the 

neck, shoulders, groin, and lower back; 

ANDTHE3OLDIER0LATE#ARRIER3YSTEM

in order to increase Soldier mobility in 

various terrain conditions. 

Two hard armor plate systems are 

available for use with the IOTV and 

30#3THE%NHANCED3MALL!RMS

Protective Inserts (ESAPI) and 

Enhanced Side Ballistic Inserts 

(ESBI); and the X Small Arms 

Protective Inserts (XSPI) and X Side 

Ballistic Inserts (XSBI). Both systems 

provide classified, multi-hit protection 

against numerous stressing threats. 

The IOTV base vest (size medium) 

weighs 9.86 pounds. The IOTV with 

yoke and collar ensemble, groin, and

pounds. All components provide 

robust fragmentation and 9mm 

protection. The total system with all 

components weighs 31.09 pounds (size 

medium). The IOTV is produced in 11 

sizes to accommodate every Soldier in 

the Army. 

ESAPI and XSAPI are produced in five 

sizes. ESBI and XSBI are produced 

in one size. Attachable throat, groin, 

shoulder, and lower back protectors 

increase fragmentation and 9mm 

protection. Webbing attachment loops 

on the vest accommodate Modular

the IOTV allows for treatment to vital 

areas while a quick release mechanism 

on both systems allows for rapid 

doffing during emergency situations.

Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted 

Sensor System (JLENS)

MISSION

Provides a persistent surveillance 

and tracking capability for unmanned 

aerial vehicle and cruise missile 

defense. The system also provides fire 

control quality data to missile systems 

such as Army PATRIOT and Navy Aegis 

and fighter aircraft, allowing these 

systems to engage hostile threats from 

extended ranges.

networking technologies to provide 

360-degree wide-area surveillance 

and tracking of cruise missiles and 

other aircraft. Operating as an orbit, 

the surveillance radar generates 

information that enables the fire 

control radar to readily search for, 

detect, and track low-altitude cruise 

missiles and other airborne threats. 

Once the fire control radar develops 

tracks, this information is provided 

to tactical data networks so other 

network participants can assess threat 

significance and assign systems to 

counter the threat. The fire control 

data supports extended engagement 

ranges by other network participants 

by providing high-quality track data 

on targets that may be terrain-masked 

from surface-based radar systems.

Kiowa Warrior

MISSION

Performs aerial reconnaissance 

and security in support of ground 

maneuver forces. 

DESCRIPTION

The Kiowa Warrior is a single-engine, 

two-man, lightly armed reconnaissance 

helicopter with advanced avionics, 

navigation, communication, weapons, 

and cockpit integration systems. Its 

mast-mounted sight houses a thermal 

imaging system, low-light television, 

and a laser rangefinder/designator 

permitting target acquisition and 

engagement at standoff ranges and in 

adverse weather. Sensor imagery from 

compatible Unmanned Aerial Systems 

and manned aircraft can be received 

and relayed to other aircraft or ground 

stations. The navigation system can 

convey precise target locations to other 

aircraft or artillery via its advanced 

digital communications system.

DESCRIPTION

The AN/PED-1 Lightweight Laser 

Designator Rangefinder (LLDR) is a 

crew-served man-portable, modular 

target locator and laser designation 

system. The primary components are 

the Target Locator Module (TLM) and 

the Laser Designator Module (LDM). 

The TLM incorporates a thermal 

imager, day camera, laser designator 

spot imaging electronic display, eye-safe 

laser rangefinder, digital magnetic

At night and in obscured battlefield 

conditions, the operator can recognize 

vehicle-sized targets at more than three 

kilometers. During day operations, 

targets can be recognized at more than 

seven kilometers. The LDM emits coded 

laser pulses compatible with DoD and 

NATO laser-guided munitions. Targets 

can be designated at ranges greater 

than five kilometers.

DESCRIPTION

4HE!.4-1
-ETEOROLOGICAL

Measuring Set-Profiler (MMS-P) 

uses a suite of meteorological 

sensors, meteorological data from 

satellites, and an advanced mesoscale 

atmospheric model to provide highly 

accurate meteorological data for 

indirect fire artillery forces. The 

system uses common hardware, 

software, and operating systems; is 

housed in a command post platform 

shelter; and is transported on an 

-!(IGH-OBILITY-ULTIPURPOSE

Wheeled Vehicle.

The mesoscale atmospheric model 

receives large-scale atmospheric data 

FROMTHE!IR&ORCE7EATHER!GENCY

and other meteorological sensors, and 

produces a vertical profile of wind 

speed and direction, temperature, 

relative humidity, cloud base height, 

type precipitation, and horizontal 

visibility in the target area, all of 

which are necessary for precise 

targeting and terminal guidance of 

various munitions. Profiler transmits 

this data to indirect fire direction 

centers for use in developing the firing 

solution. The current Profiler provides 

meteorological coverage throughout

Nett Warrior (NW)

MISSION

Provides overmatch operational 

capabilities to all ground combat 

leaders and small unit operations. 

DESCRIPTION

The Nett Warrior (NW) is an 

integrated dismounted leader 

situational awareness (SA) system 

for use during combat operations. The 

system provides unparalleled SA to 

the dismounted leader, allowing for 

faster and more accurate decisions 

in the tactical fight. With advanced 

navigation, SA, and information 

sharing capabilities, leaders are able to 

avoid fratricide and are more effective 

and more lethal in the execution of 

their combat missions.

The NW program focuses on the 

development of the SA system, which 

has the ability to graphically display 

the location of an individual leader’s 

location on a digital geo-referenced 

map image. Additional Soldier and 

leader locations are also displayed on 

the smart device digital display. NW is 

connected through a secure radio that 

sends and receives information from 

one NW to another, thus connecting 

the dismounted leader to the network. 

These radios also connect the equipped 

leader to higher echelon data and 

information products to assist in 

decision-making and situational 

understanding. Soldier position 

location information will be added to 

the network via interoperability with 

THE!RMYS*OINT4ACTICAL2ADIO3YSTEM

capability. All of this will allow the 

leader to easily see, understand, and 

interact in the method that best suits 

the user and the particular mission.

NW will employ a system-of-systems 

approach, optimizing and integrating 

capabilities while reducing the 

Soldier’s combat load and logistical 

footprint.

Night Vision Thermal Systems–Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS)

MISSION

Enables the Soldier to detect and 

engage targets, day or night, in all 

weather and visibility-obscured 

conditions. 

DESCRIPTION

TheNight Vision Thermal Systems–

Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS) family 

is a group of advanced infrared devices 

which can be both weapon-mounted 

or used in an observation mode. The 

TWS gives Soldiers with individual and 

crew served weapons the capability to 

see deep into the battlefield, increase 

surveillance and target acquisition 

range, and penetrate obscurants, day or 

night. The TWS systems use uncooled, 

forward-looking infrared technology 

and provide a standard video output 

for training, image transfer, or remote 

viewing. TWS systems are lightweight 

and mountable to a weapon rail. They 

operate to the maximum effective 

range of the weapon. 

The TWS family comprises three 

variants, each of which is silent, 

lightweight, compact, durable, and 

battery-powered.

Precision Guidance Kit (PGK)

MISSION

Improves the accuracy of conventional 

155mm high-explosive (HE) projectiles 

in the inventory. 

DESCRIPTION

Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) 

technology is state-of-the-art and 

provides a first-of-its-kind capability. 

PGK contains a Global Positioning 

System (GPS) guidance kit with 

fuzing functions and an integrated 

GPS receiver to correct the inherent 

errors associated with ballistic 

firing solutions, reducing the number 

of artillery projectiles required 

to attack targets. The increase in 

efficiency that PGK’s “near-precision” 

capability provides allows operational 

commanders to engage assigned 

targets and rapidly achieve desired 

effects while minimizing collateral 

damage. 

The PGK program is following an 

incremental program approach.

MISSION

Enables warfighters and small units to 

engage targets with lethal fire to defeat 

or deter adversaries. 

DESCRIPTION

The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon 

(SAW) replaced the M16A1 Automatic 

Rifle at the squad level, as well as 

some M60 multipurpose machine 

guns in non-infantry units. The M249 

delivers greater range and rates of fire 

than the M16 or M4. Improvements 

include a collapsible buttstock, a 

shorter barrel, and an improved bipod, 

providing increased combat efficiency. 

4HE-"MM-EDIUM-ACHINE

Gun has been reconfigured for ground 

applications with buttstock, bipod, iron 

sights, and forward-rail assemblies.

4HE-,MM-EDIUM

Machine Gun (Light) incorporates 

titanium construction and alternative 

manufacturing methods to achieve 

significant weight savings, reducing 

the Soldier’s combat load while 

allowing easier handling and 

movement of the weapon. The M240L is 

approximately five pounds lighter than 

the M240B.

on the M3 tripod and on most vehicles 

while also serving as an anti-personnel 

and anti-aircraft weapon. It is highly 

effective against light armored 

vehicles, low- and slow-flying aircraft, 

and small boats. It is capable of singleshot (ground M2 Machine Gun) and 

automatic fire.

increased performance as well as new 

features and design improvements. 

The M2A1 provides a fixed headspace 

and timing configuration, flash hider, 

and removable carrying handle. The 

M2A1 speeds target engagement and 

improves survivability and safety by 

reducing the time required to change 

the barrel and eliminating the timely 

procedure of setting headspace and 

timing.

The MK19 Grenade Machine Gun 

supports the Soldier by delivering 

heavy, accurate, and continuous 

firepower against enemy personnel 

and lightly armored vehicles. The 

MK19 can be mounted on a tripod or 

on multiple vehicle platforms and is 

the primary suppression weapon for 

combat support and combat service 

support units.

delivering precise, rapid fire on targets 

out to 2,000 meters, greatly exceeding 

the terminal effect capability of the 

XM2010, M110 or M24 sniper rifles. It 

is especially valuable during military 

operations in urban terrain where 

greater firepower and standoff ranges 

provide counter-sniper capability while 

enhancing sniper survivability.

The XM2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle 

(ESR) is a bolt action, magazine-fed 

weapon system that utilizes .300 

WinMag ammunition. The rifle is 

built around a rechambered M24 

Sniper Weapon System receiver and 

is a capable of providing precision

DESCRIPTION

The current 120mm family of 

tank ammunition consists of 

fourth-generation kinetic energy 

(KE), multipurpose, and canister 

ammunition. KE ammunition lethality 

is optimized by firing a maximumweight sub-caliber projectile at the 

greatest velocity possible, defeating 

advanced threat armor. The M829A3 

kinetic energy cartridge provides 

armor-defeat capability. The M829E4, 

the next-generation KE cartridge, 

is currently in the Engineering, 

Manufacturing, Design (EMD) Phase 

of the acquisition cycle and Milestone 

#ISSCHEDULEDFOR&9-ULTIPURPOSE

ammunition uses a high-explosive 

warhead to provide blast, armor 

penetration, and fragmentation effects. 

The shotgun shell-like M1028 canister 

cartridge provides the Abrams tank 

with effective, rapid, lethal fire against 

massed assaulting infantry, and is also 

used in training. The 120mm family

XM7 Spider

MISSION

Provides the commander with a new 

capability to shape the battlefield, 

protect the force, and respond to 

changing battlefield environments in a 

graduated manner while minimizing risk 

to friendly troops and non-combatants.

DESCRIPTION

4HE8-3PIDERISAHAND
EMPLACED

remotely-controlled, Man-in-the-Loop 

(MITL), anti-personnel munition 

system. Spider provides munition field 

effectiveness, but does so without 

residual life-threatening risks 

after hostilities end. The fielding 

of this system with its sensors, 

communications, and munitions 

changes the way Soldiers operate in 

an otherwise unpredictable battlefield. 

Each munition is controlled by a 

remotely stationed Soldier who 

monitors its sensors, allowing for 

more precise (non-lethal to lethal) 

responses—a significant advancement 

and advantage. The Spider Networked 

Munitions System enables the MITL 

to detect, track, classify, count, and 

destroy the enemy.

The Spider system contains three 

main components: the remote control 

unit, residing within a computer 

interface; the repeater, extending the 

remote control range; and a munition 

control unit for sending and receiving 

commands as well as activating the 

munitions. Spider can be used as a 

force-protection-reinforcing obstacle 

to delay, disrupt, and channel enemy 

forces as well as restrict their use 

of critical routes of terrain, thereby 

reducing civil casualties and the 

exposure of personnel to hostile fire. 

It can also be integrated into a base 

defense system, providing protection 

to Soldiers in forward operating bases 

and combat outposts.

The system’s design allows for 

safe, flexible, and rapid deployment, 

reinforcement, and recovery as well 

as safe passage of friendly forces. 

Spider eliminates the possibility of an 

unintended detonation through early 

warning and selective engagement of 

enemy forces, and has a self-destruct 

capability. Spider is designed for 

storage, transport, rough handling, 

and use in worldwide military 

environments.

security protection against potential cyber threats on the battlefield.

Army mobile network research efforts are increasing network efficiency and

in Basic Research are critical to acquiring new knowledge in areas that hold 

great promise in advancing new and technically challenging Army capabilities 

and concepts—concepts that will enable revolutionary advances and paradigmshifting future operational capabilities. Long-term exploration efforts look 

to discover or invent new technologies and capabilities relevant to the Army

field for our Soldiers. Long-term enabling research looks for innovative ways to 

move the inventions and discoveries into components and subcomponents and 

technologies that our labs and research partners can exploit. By doing this we 

enable future S&T applied research, advanced tech development, and capabilities.

Major Efforts

The following is a brief summary of select areas of investment noted above, the 

synergy among them, and some of the capabilities they may provide by subportfolio.

PORTFOLIO

Immersive Technology—the path to virtual reality training

The evolving threat environment continues to put increasing demands on the 

diversity and effectiveness of Soldier skills. To meet these demands, superior 

training tools and methods are needed. Virtual worlds can provide this capability; 

however, we are currently at primitive stages in their realization. With advances 

in computational processing and steady progress in understanding the brain’s 

“software” comes the possibility of creating highly realistic virtual training 

environments inhabited by humanlike avatars. Such environments will create a 

paradigm shift in the way we provide training, while achieving low-cost, safe, 

low-environmental impact, highly variable simulation environments for the future 

training of our Soldiers.

Understanding how the human brain works—determining the brain’s “software”—

is the key to developing these capabilities. When embedded in a wide range of 

military platforms, this “software” will provide superior training methods and 

human system interfaces that will be tuned to an individual’s characteristics, 

thereby resulting in superior Soldier performance. Research in this area will also 

dramatically advance our ability to prevent and treat those suffering from various 

types of battlefield brain injury.

battlefields. We are implementing a new multidisciplinary approach that combines 

communications, information, and the social/human component of networks. 

This approach changes the way we think about optimizing the use of networks. 

Advances in network science will allow us to predict and optimize network 

performance before we build them through the creation of wholly new design tools.

7ITHINTHE-ATERIAL#ENTRICSUB
PORTFOLIO

Materials Modeling research develops fundamental scientific principles to develop 

underpinning, cross-cutting, and transferable physics-based modeling capabilities. 

Research focuses on two-way multi-scale modeling for predicting performance and 

designing materials. We also investigate analytical and theoretical analyses to 

effectively define the interface physics across length scales. In addition we aim 

to advance experimental capabilities for verification and validation of multi-scale 

physics, and modeling and strategies for the synthesis of high loading rate tolerant 

materials. The intent is to provide the Army with next generation multi-functional 

materials for ballistic and electronic applications, for light-weight vehicle and 

facility protection, and for energy storage and electronic devices, and to provide 

new materials to address the extreme challenges associated with understanding 

and modeling materials subject to Army operational environments. This research 

supports the development of computational tools, software, and new methods for 

material characterization to speed the process of discovery and development of 

advanced materials and make it less expensive and more predictable.

Biotechnology—leveraging four billion years of evolution

The increasing importance of and demands for wide-area persistent surveillance 

create significant challenges for sensor systems, real-time processing of vast 

amounts of data, the real-time interpretation of information for decision-making 

and power and energy requirements to support such demanding systems. Through 

four billion years of evolution, biological systems have engineered solutions to 

some of these challenges. We seek to leverage research in these areas to improve 

the performance of our Soldiers. Major investments in this area through reverse 

engineering will lead to totally new sensing systems, new ways to rapidly process 

data into information, the development of novel sense and response systems, and 

biologically inspired power and energy solutions.

Nanotechnology—dramatically changing our ability to manufacture new 

material by design

The last century was dominated by advances in the physical sciences through the 

discovery of the atom, its structure, and the laws that govern its behavior. This 

century will be dominated by the complex world of nanoscience, whose mysteries 

will be unraveled by our understanding of systems of atoms and molecules. 

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce 

new structures, materials, and devices. Nanotechnology research makes it 

possible to explore the emerging biotech field and dramatically change our ability 

to create new materials by design. This technology has the ability to transform 

many industries in discovering and creating new materials with properties that

PORTFOLIO

Autonomous Systems—extending the operational effectiveness of Soldiers 

through robotic systems

A major military objective is to totally frustrate and defeat our adversaries across 

a wide spectrum of conflicts while dramatically increasing the survivability of our 

Soldiers by keeping them out of harm’s way. Autonomous systems of extraordinary 

capability can fulfill this objective; however, they must be completely safe 

and secure while operating in highly complex operational environments. 

Achieving such levels of capability will require significant investments in highly 

sophisticated sense, response, and processing systems to approach the capabilities 

of biological systems; major advances in artificial intelligence; the development 

of intelligent agents approaching human performance levels; and advances in 

machine learning, swarming, and actuation and control.

Quantum Effects—overcoming the limitations of Moore’s Law

Increasing demand for information to support decision making on the battlefield 

requires advanced sensor systems to collect relevant data, as well as the means 

to process it into actionable forms. Major advancements in processing power 

are required to cope with the demand to process ever-larger amounts of data. 
UNITED STATES ARMY

Investments in this area will exploit the massive parallelism of the quantum 

world to create computers that will dwarf the capabilities of the most powerful 

computers today, making them look like pocket calculators. The development 

of such computational systems will enable the embedding of high-performance 

computing in all military platforms, including the Soldier’s uniform.

priorities for Basic Research and identify challenge statements against which 

programs can be proposed and approved. Moving forward, Army S&T will 

continue to refine these statements and develop long-term basic research programs 

and investments to meet these challenges for the Army of the future.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION – 

A KEY METRIC OF PERFORMANCE

Neither a technology nor a collection of technologies are useful unless accepted by 

someone and provided to the warfighter. A concept or technology can be matured 

and demonstrated to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 with S&T funds 

(Budget Activity 2 or 3). Products or deliverables of Army S&T programs can 

be knowledge products; experimental data on performance; hardware (devices, 

components, sub-systems, or prototype systems) or software; specifications, or 

concepts. 

There are many ways that transition from S&T can happen.

Executive Office (PEO). It is best practice to have a Technology Transition 

Agreement (TTA) between the S&T program and the PEO that specifies the 

S&T products or deliverables. A TTA is negotiated at the beginning of the S&T 

program and revisited every year to ensure that the effort remains on track and 

in alignment with the modernization strategy of the Army.

of the Army S&T enterprise, the G-1, another DoD entity, or industry. These 

transitions are typically in the form of “knowledge products” that inform 

requirements such as analysis of alternatives; inform acquisition, such as a 

proof of concept or information to enable a milestone decision or a technology 

data package. These knowledge products can take the form of TTP or even 

science and engineering support for follow-on development, demonstration,

include standards, certification, accreditation, or test methods that will enable 

subsequent fielding of capabilities to the Army. 

Many times transition of S&T is indirect because the research and technology 

maturation funded by S&T and executed by industry or university partners 

often becomes the technology solution provided years later to the government in 

response to competitive solicitations for systems. 

The Army technology transition strategy is to address the principal causes of the 

chasm between S&T and acquisition. Army S&T will seek to improve:

SUMMARY

The Army Science and Technology (S&T) investments support Army 

modernization goals to develop and field affordable equipment in a rapidly 

changing technological environment by fostering invention, innovation, 

maturation, and demonstration of technologies for the current and future fight. As 

we continue to diligently identify and harvest technologies suitable for transition 

to our force, we aim to remain ever vigilant of potential and emerging threats. 

We will sharpen our research efforts to focus upon those core capabilities we 

will need to sustain for the future and also identify promising “leap-ahead” 

technologies able to change the existing paradigms of understanding. Ultimately, 

our focus remains upon Soldiers; we consistently seek new avenues to increase 

their capability and ensure their technological superiority—today, tomorrow and 

decades from now.

Acquisition Phase 

All the tasks and activities needed to bring a program to the next major milestone 

occur during an acquisition phase. Phases provide a logical means of progressively 

translating broadly stated mission needs into well-defined system-specific 

requirements and ultimately into operationally effective, suitable, and survivable 

systems. The acquisition phases for the systems described in this handbook are 

defined below: 

4ECHNOLOGY$EVELOPMENT0HASE

The purpose of this phase is to reduce technology risk, determine and mature 

the appropriate set of technologies to be integrated into a full system, and to 

demonstrate critical technology elements on prototypes. Technology Development 

is a continuous technology discovery and development process reflecting close 

collaboration between the Science and Technology (S&T) community, the user, 

and the system developer. It is an iterative process designed to assess the viability
