Subject matter experts from Product Manager Next Generation Weap- ons, Product Manager Small Caliber Ammunition, the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center, the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team and Army Contracting Command – New Jersey were instrumental in devel- oping a streamlined prototyping and down-select approach, while setting the conditions to quickly produce and field the newest small arms weapons and concurrently establishing the required ammunition stock. Te team’s work represents a fundamental shift in how the Army acquires new small arms modernization capabilities.
