Sources Sought Additional capabilities for the XM157 Fire Control

The US Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Lethality (PM SL), located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, is conducting a market survey to identify novel technologies/software that can be utilized as a module on the XM157 fire control.

The system increases probability of hit and enables Rifleman and Automatic Rifleman to effectively engage targets faster.

This notice is looking for information from interested companies that have novel technologies or ongoing research that would be beneficial for the XM157 system as a module and/or software that provides enhanced capability.
