Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) for Precision Grenadier System (PGS) Technology Demonstration

The purpose of this Amendment is to update the Q&A. Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) - Precision Grenadier System (PGS) Technology Demonstration, W15QKN-25-R-14B5. Related notice W15QKN-25-X-12TE.

The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ) on behalf of Project Manager (PM) Soldier Lethality is issuing a Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) with the intent to award multiple Fixed Price Prototype Project OTAs under Section 815 OTA authority, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 4022. The Precision Grenadier System (PGS) is envisioned to be a Soldier portable, shoulder fired, semi-automatic, magazine fed, integrated armament system (weapon, ammunition, fire control) that enables rapid, precision engagements to destroy personnel targets in defilade and in the open with increased lethality and precision compared to legacy grenade launchers, while also not impacting Soldier mobility.

The PGS is anticipated to be deployed as a Soldier’s primary weapon system, providing organic, close-quarters combat, counter-defilade, and counter-UAS capabilities through a family of ammunition to ranges in concert with the rest of the squad’s battlespace, and requiring minimal resupplies to support.

This capability shall provide overmatch to comparable threat grenade launchers in near-peer formations in future operating environments to include urban, jungle, woodland, subterranean, and desert, in day, night, or obscured conditions. The purpose of the PPON is for interested offerors to identify a System Element(s) that can be matured in direct support of the PGS System Concept.

This PPON is a risk reduction effort separate from the Precision Grenadier Program of Record with the goal of developing technologies associated with the current capability gap. In response to this notice, interested offerors shall submit white papers in accordance with the instructions provided in the PPON, which has been included as an attachment to the notice. The instructions and evaluation criteria detailed in the attached PPON describe the basis of selection that will be used to evaluate the submissions.
