Abstract:

Facing terrorist forces from MOUT to the open battlefield, American forces both military and law enforcement alike require the best equipment available. Only through the efforts of government and industry working together on a wide range of technology focus areas will the tools necessary to support our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines now and in the future be realized. These focus areas range from incremental enhancements to fielded legacy small arms systems to enabling technologies, such as fi re control improvements, use of robotics and digitization of small arms systems on the battlefield, to name a few. This symposium seeks to bring together government and industry, manufacturers and users to support this objective for the military and law enforcement communities.
