- Description
- The U.S. Army at TACOM-ARDEC, Picatinny Arsenal is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Joint Service Small Arms Program Office (JSSAP), in support of the Objective Force Warrior (OFW) program. This BAA is issued under the provisions of FAR 6.102(d)(2). The purpose of this BAA is to solicit proposals for component technologies that will support the development of a Lightweight Family of Weapons and Ammunition (LFWA). The LFWA will provide the Lethality component of the Objective Force Warrior (OFW) program. The initial focus of the LFWA program will be on developing lightweight machine guns and ammunition. The objective is a "clean sheet of paper" approach that will yield technologies (weapon and ammunition) that are reproducible in mass, robust, easy to operate and maintain, and reliable under all conditions, while taking up less volume and weighing 30-35% less than current systems. Proposals submitted under this BAA shall be limited in scope to a 12-month effort. Submitters are urged to focus their efforts on individual component technologies that will help dramatically reduce the size and/or weight of individual and crew-served weapon systems while maintaining current performance. Improvements may evolve from technologies developed for other weapon systems or from applications not used previously in the weapon and ammunition arena. Also, technologies may reveal applications of old ideas which technological barriers heretofore prevented. This BAA can be downloaded from the following website: http://procnet.pica.army.mil. All responses to this notice shall be done so in the English language. Responses should be sent to Stephanie MeGee, Contract Specialist at smegee@pica.army.mil.
