Then the agreement calls for the company to import the arms to HK\u2019s Columbus, Georgia facility beginning early next year. There, HK workers will install scopes and mounts purchased by the Army under a separate agreement, according to HK. Additionally, HK staff will kit the scoped rifles with additional accessories from 12 other U.S.-based manufacturers to round out the complete SDMR weapon system delivered to the Army. HK will also provide spare parts, support and training.","post_title":"Army to Field HK SDMR Until NGSW Rifles Enter Service","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"army-field-hk-sdmr","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:16:10","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:16:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/10\/23\/army-field-hk-sdmr\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":127430,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2019-10-21 06:00:48","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-21 10:00:48","post_content":"The U.S. Army Next Generation Squad Weapon program promises to usher in a new era of infantry weapon. A new platform, with a new 6.8mm cartridge, the NGSW attempts to deliver greater capability to our warfighters. But it also might usher in smart gun technology once and for all.\n\n[in_content post=\"199799\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nAccording to reuters.com<\/a>, the Army specified that its NGSW guns include a \"smart rail,\" providing a power and communications interface between the rifle and digital technology.

Army Wants Smart Gun Technology<\/h2>\n\u201cYou could accomplish some of the functionality by duct-taping an iPhone to your gun. However what we offer is the world\u2019s first truly embedded operating system,\u201d said Melvic Smith, principal owner, Dimensional Weapons Systems, reported reuters.com.\n\nThe Army looks to include a fire-control system, linking the weapon to other systems such as targeting technology, reported reuters.com. However, the Army covets even greater capabilities, including chip controlled processes similar to those criticized in the past by 2A advocates. Atlanta-based Dimensional Weapons Systems hopes to provide that technology, according to reuters.com.\n\n\u201cOur team is composed of veterans, law enforcement officers, people that are pro-Second Amendment to begin with,\u201d Smith said. \u201cBut we also have engaged with people in the weapons manufacturing industry. They actually love the technology. They\u2019re worried about political backlash.\u201d\n\nThe technology could track gun movements, including angles of bore at time of fire. It could maintain a digital record for training and investigations. It could even diagnose problems and recommend weapon maintenance, reuters.com reported. However, smart technology could potentially track weapons or render them useless, in theory, opening the door for continued criticism in the gun control debate. But others see opportunity.\n\nArmy contracts could \"create a market overnight,\" one investor told reuters.com.\n\n\u201cInnovation almost never comes from the people that have been building the same product for 100 years,\u201d said Trevor Neilson, chief executive of i(x) investments, reported reuters.com. \u201cWhoever gets this right is going to build a massive company.\u201d","post_title":"Army Solicits Smart Gun Technology With NGSW Submissions","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"army-ngsw-smart-gun-technology","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:16:11","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:16:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/10\/21\/army-ngsw-smart-gun-technology\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

L3Harris, Leupold Win NGSW Fire Control Prototype Contract<\/h2>\n\u201cLeupold is excited to be teaming with L3Harris to deliver the highest-quality optical solution to the U.S. Army. We are the top manufacturers in our respective fields,\u201d said Bruce Pettet, President and Chief Executive Officer for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. \u201cLeupold brings more than a century of optical expertise and unrivaled domestic manufacturing capacity to the table, and L3 has a proven track record of performance with high-volume government contracts for night vision, electro-optics, and laser aiming devices. The U.S. military requires the very best, and this partnership will deliver it \u2013 with optics that are designed, machined, and assembled in the United States.\u201d\n\nThe NGSW-FC provides an integrated approach to targeting. It combines range-finding capability, ballistic computation and environmental sensors. Those systems increase the probability of accurate targeting, while decreasing time to engage target. The Leupold-L3Harris contract mark the second such announcement of late. On April 21, we reported on Vortex Optics' selection of its own submission<\/a> into the program.\n
Next Gen Optics<\/h4>\nNow Leupold and L3 partner to offer an optic for the U.S. military. The optic ultimately selected will support many of the current and future weapon platforms utilized by the Army, according to Leupold. Both L3Harris and Leupold claim a history of numerous contracts in the past.\n\n\u201cL3Harris is proud to offer the U.S. Army a revolutionary fire control solution that will increase soldier lethality and enhance situational awareness,\u201d Lynn Bollengier, President, Integrated Vision Solutions, L3Harris said in a press release, \u201cOur solution leverages nearly 30 years of expertise in fire control technology, enabling faster identification and target acquisition, ensuring soldiers achieve overmatch capability on the battlefield. Additionally, we have teamed with Leupold & Stevens to integrate their superior optical assemblies and high volume, domestic manufacturing capabilities to ensure we meet the high quality and capacity requirements set forth by the Army to field this technology alongside the Next Generation Squad Weapons program.\u201d\n\nFor more information, please visit leupold.com<\/a>.","post_title":"L3Harris, Leupold Partner on NGSW Fire Control System Submission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"l3harris-leupold-ngsw-fire-control","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:47","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/04\/30\/l3harris-leupold-ngsw-fire-control\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};
