Small Arms Weapon
The US ARMY ARDEC, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is seeking product information on commercial and/or developed Non-Lethal weapon systems. The desired weapon system should be a man-portable, small caliber weapon system that uses Variable-Velocity technology to fire projectiles at different muzzle velocities, on a shot-to-shot basis, depending on the target distance. The weapon system should deliver consistent NL effects at all ranges within its capabilities. The system should be designed to accept an optional fire control system, which can automatically set the optimal NL muzzle velocity by measuring the target's distance. The fire control system itself is not required at this time, but shall be a design consideration. The same ammunition should be used for all ranges (not a suite of different ammunition types for different ranges). Smart munitions (those with fuzes or electronic components) are not desired.
Firms/companies are invited to indicate their interests by providing specifications, brochures, manuals, reports, demonstration video and other technical data as well as identification of current customers and rough indication of pricing for a single unit. All data should be sent at no cost to the US Government by July 28, 2014 to [email protected], US Army Contracting Command, ATTN: Mary Beth Forte/Kelly Lynch. In addition, please provide the firm's name and address, point of contact with telephone number and email address, and size of business (small/large).
This is a market survey for information only and shall not be construed as a request for a proposal or as an obligation on the part of the US Government. The US Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market survey or otherwise pay for information solicited.
