Das Projekt wird: Precision Shoulder Launched Missile (P-SLM) genannt.

Synopsis:

Request for Information - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS - The Weapons Development and Integration (WDI) Directorate of the Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) seeks innovative concepts and technologies capable of achieving the below list of Precision Shoulder Launched Missile (P-SLM) System objectives. The objective of the P-SLM system is to provide the ground combatant individual soldier with a multipurpose, lightweight, fire and forget, day/night capable shoulder launched missile with precision lethality against personnel in the open, within or behind structural barriers (defilade) as well as defeat lightly armored vehicles and/or incapacitate the personnel within.

System Objectives:
A) Lethality - Earth and Timber (E&T) Bunker and Personnel: Collapse bunker side-wall or roof and/or incapacitate occupants using a 30 second defense casualty criterion, with a single shot from 15 - 500m at up to 45 degrees angle of impact.

B) Lethality - Enemy Personnel within and/or behind Masonry Structures: Incapacitate personnel within and/or behind a twelve-inch thick triple brick or eight-inch thick double reinforced concrete structure with a single shot from 15 - 500m at up to 30 degrees angle of impact.

C) Lethality - Stationary Lightly Armored Vehicles: Achieve mobility and/or firepower kill and/or incapacitate occupants (30 second assault criteria) with a single shot against a stationary, fully exposed vehicle with a minimum of 35mm Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA) (i.e. BMP-3) at a range of 15-1200m.

D) Lethality - Moving Lightly Armored Vehicles: Achieve mobility and/or firepower kill and/or incapacitate occupants (30 second assault criteria) with a single shot against a moving (15 kph) fully exposed vehicle with a minimum of 35mm Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA) (i.e. BMP-3) at a range of 15-1200m.

E) Lethality - Enemy Personnel in Open or Defilade (Stationary): Incapacitate stationary personnel in open areas and/or Defilade with one shot at 15-1200m.

F) System Weight: < 15 lbs.

G) System Length: < 32"

H) Minimum Engagement Range

I. Threshold - The system will be operational and effective at a range of 30 meters.
II. Objective - The system will be operational and effective at a range of 15 meters.
