Army Selects 5 Firms to Develop Automatic Rifle Prototypes - top government contractors - best government contracting eventFive companies have won separate 12-month other transaction agreements to develop automatic rifle prototypes for the U.S. Army.

The OTAs announced Thursday in a FedBizOpps notice will cover the development and production of a system demonstrator representative of level 6 technology and manufacturing readiness under the Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle program.

The Army seeks an NGSAR weapon with a lightweight design and that could help soldiers hit targets at a close or an extended range.

NGSAR is intended to replace the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon being used in brigade combat teams.

The awardees are:

  • FN America
  • General Dynamics’ ordnance and tactical systems business
  • PCP Tactical
  • Sig Sauer
  • Textron’s AAI subsidiary
