The Green Eyes kit mounts to all existing and future CROWS systems and allows users to customize CROWS with white searchlights, ocular disruptors, infra- red pointers, and other auxiliary devices, meeting a battlefield demand.
Husky Mark III, 2G 2-Seat Prototype— To protect Soldiers from improvised explosive devices (IEDs), the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Develop- ment, and Engineering Center improved on the larger MK III Husky to engineer the Husky Mark III, 2G 2-Seat Prototype.
The land-mine detection vehicle is a response to task overload on the Husky operator, increasing the Route Clear- ance Package’s ability to find and neutralize IEDs, while providing direct- fire capability.
ENHANCED PERFORMANCE

Soldiers can use the kit to warn civil- ians away from checkpoints or other areas where safety is at risk. At closer dis- tances, Green Eyes provides a nonlethal, immediate capability in deterring aggres- sive actions.
Emitting a wide band of green light, this escalation-of-force kit is compatible with the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS), which allows the Soldier to remain protected inside a vehicle while engaging targets.
The Husky Mark III, 2G 2-Seat Proto- type is smaller than the MK III Husky, blast-survivable, overpass-capable, and field-reparable. The kit’s smaller size enables transport of the platform with air assets in a roll-on-roll-off configuration and increases readiness, while decreasing the logistical footprint and the cost of maintenance in theater.
Jackal Explosive Hazard Pre-Detona- tion System—As the use of IEDs grows and evolves, the Army has examined a number of ways to detect and defeat the threat. ARDEC’s Jackal Explosive Hazard Pre-Detonation System removes the IED threat for Soldiers and tactical vehicles.
Keeping Soldiers out of IEDs’ area of lethality, Jackal neutralizes the threat and increases the survivability of vehicle plat- forms. With day/night, multi-terrain, and multi-environmental capability, Jackal supports nearly all ground-based tactical platforms and missions. It also requires minimal interaction from the Soldier.
Jackal was first fielded to Soldiers in Iraq in 2010 to help counter roadside bombs. Its adaptability allows it to detect new and emerging IED devices.
M240L 7.62mm Lightweight Medium Machine Gun—Reducing the physi- cal load that Soldiers carry is one of the Army’s highest priorities. ARDEC sup- ported PEO Soldier in the development of the M240L 7.62mm Lightweight Medium Machine Gun. Weighing 22.3 pounds, the M240L is nearly five pounds lighter than the M240B machine gun. A lighter weapon is more portable, allowing the Soldier increased mobility and room to carry more ammunition.
The M240L has system performance equal to that of the M240B. The combi- nation of performance and lighter weight is the result of a re-profiled barrel, a lightweight grip assembly, and the use of titanium in the receiver.
The titanium M240L represents a leap forward in weapons technology, inspired by Soldier feedback.
The machine gun also features two quick-change barrels, a fixed buttstock, and an integral bipod. A new collaps- ible buttstock and short barrel have been developed for the M240L as well.
The M240L, the first Army gun to make extensive use of titanium alloys, is compat- ible with the M192 lightweight tripod and all standard accessories, including optics, aiming lights, and ammunition packs.
mCare Project—With technology advancing and the use of smartphones and mobile applications increasing, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Mate- riel Command’s (USMRMC) Telemedi- cine and Advanced Technology Research Center developed mCare. Short for
