Army looking into medium-caliber weapon for Stryker

The Army is conducting market research for a medium-caliber weapon system for the Stryker combat vehicle and will hold an industry day this month for the pre-decisional program.

The program management office for Stryker brigade combat teams will host an informational event March 13 at Detroit Arsenal in Warren, MI, joined by the Maneuver Center of Excellence and the Ground Vehicle Systems Center, to "brief the draft Stryker MCWS program plan," according to a recent notice.

Army officials at the event will provide details on "high-level requirements" for the potential weapon system's lethality, mobility, protection, transportability, sustainability, energy and cybersecurity.
