- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), Ground Weapons Directorate, Anti-Armor Division, is in search of novel alternatives to range finding. Candidate systems would primarily be used on the Follow-on to the Shoulder Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (FOTS), but could potentially be adapted to a variety of weapon platforms. The current Shoulder Launched Multi-purpose Assault Weapon uses a 9mm spotting rifle to accurately range the target, which leaves the gunner exposed for an unacceptable amount of time, and lacks functional reliability. Potential replacement systems would be required to provide accurate and reliable ranges to targets < 500m in any weather condition including rain, snow, and fog as well as through battlefield obscurants where the operator can see the target with the naked eye. The system would be required to be mounted on the FOTS or hand carried as a separate system. Cost, durability, and weight will all be considerations for a final system solution, however, information on or demonstrations of any novel alternatives or concepts are of great interest to the Marine Corps and are welcome at this time. The technical POCs for this requirement are; Maj Thad R. Trapp, SMAW/FOTS Project Officer, MARCORSYSCOM, (DSN) 278-2006 x2720 or (703) 784-2006 x2720 and Mr. Karl Solomon, Systems Engineer, Anti-Armor Division, MARCORSYSCOM, (DSN) 278-2006 x2726 or (703) 784-2006 x2726. Interested sources should respond to: (U.S. Mail address)COMMANDER, Marine Corps Systems Command, ATTN: CTQ1DBM, 2033 Barnett Avenue, Suite 315, Quantico, VA, 22134-5010.
