What can industry do for Navy Small Arms?

•Ship Board•Problem - Harsh sea environment corrodes weapons•Need – Improved maritime coatings or materials

•Problem – Weapons and ammunition are stowed below deck and must be transported top side using ladders, hatches, etc.•Need – Lighter, smaller, more compact weapon and ammunition

•Problem - Weapon round counts are inaccurate•Need – Automatic round counters

•Navy Shore Stations•Problem – Increased training requirements for crew served weapons•Need – Reduced range training ammunition for M240, M2HB, MK19, virtual simulators, etc.

•Problem – Increased security at check points at base entrances and piers.•Need – Ability to choose between non-lethal or lethal force, rapid transition from less than lethal to lethal

•Naval Air•Problem – Overheating barrels on XM218 / GAU16 barrels•Need – Barrels that can be fired maximizing the number of rounds on target per aircraft pass
