MARKET SURVEY - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is seeking information on existing Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS), Non-Developmental Item (NDI), or In-Development 40mm Medium Velocity / Extended Range High Explosive (HE) or High Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP) Grenades. Currently, there is not a unified standard defining Medium Velocity / Extended Range 40mm grenades. Therefore, the information sought shall be for 40mm Medium Velocity / Extended Range ammunition that may be compatible with the USSOCOM Special Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module (EGLM) system in MK16 or MK17 configurations (EGLM attached to a SCAR-L 5.56mm rifle or SCAR-H 7.62mm rifle respectively), and in the MK13 configuration (stand-alone EGLM attached to a buttstock). The MK13, MK16 and MK17 weapon systems are currently configured to fire 40mm low velocity grenades using 40mm x 46mm low velocity cartridge cases. Information on Medium Velocity / Extended Range 40mm ammunition that does not use a 40mm x 46mm low velocity cartridge case may be submitted, where the ammunition may be compatible with the MK13, MK16, and MK17 weapon configurations if minor design modifications could be incorporated into the EGLM launcher to fire the unique c! artridge case. Threshold range of the grenades shall be 600 meters flight. Responses should include technical description and details of fuze type and MIL-STD-1316E compliance, United States or foreign qualification status of fuze, types of energetics used in warhead and quantities, type of propellant(s) used and quantities, and primer type. Responses should also include type of warhead (HE or HEDP, pre-fragmented or naturally fragmenting), warhead weight, muzzle velocity test results, and case mouth and/or mid-case pressure test results with sufficient detail such that the Government can determine potential compatibility with the MK13, MK16 and MK17 SCAR EGLM systems.
