Where do we see Funding…
Small Caliber
Present: Small Caliber
 High volume products in relatively good position
• Enjoying benefits of high commercial demand
Boutique Items – CCMCK, SRTA etc. are more dependent
on other service buys – Risk Reduction strategy:
Working with vendors and customers to keep buys
steady
Future: Small Caliber
 Steady then decreasing by 10-20% by 2020
 New requirements under development:
Better Lightweight
Tracers Ammo
Improved

Program Description Status
 Development and testing of Government concepts
ongoing
 Objectives:
 Preparing to award two DOTC contracts for industry
− Develop and demonstrate non-pyrotechnic tracer concepts
technology that eliminates shortcomings of current
tracers Challenges
− Full Day/Night trace capability  Achieving visibility out to required ranges under all
light (bright sunshine) & background (snow) conditions
 Must also be visible through vision devices
 Strategy: Competitive Prototyping
− Industry tracer concepts via Defense Ordnance
Technology Consortium (DOTC) effort
Trace Visible
− USG concept development
