Currently, USCG boat forces use the M-240B Mounted Automatic Weapon (MAW) in security operations throughout the U.S. The Coast Guard is interested in technology to improve or replace the current M-240B MAW configuration. USCG seeks to maximize effectiveness in warning and stopping potentially threatening vessels, while minimizing potential collateral damage. Potential solutions may range from aiming and stabilization/aiming-assistance technology for the current MAW to complete replacement of the current MAW with a new weapon. Systems that would eliminate the need for crews to operate outside the cabin are of interest. Response deadline is Oct. 20, 2008. For additional information, contact Helen Nelson, at 860-441-2843.

S&Tâ€s Standoff Technology Integration Demonstration program is a multi-year effort (which will conclude in 2013), designed to accelerate the development of standoff explosives detection technologies, concept of operations and training to counter these threats. The ultimate goal of the program is to prevent explosive attacks at large public events via a spiral development approach. To that end, S&T seeks to obtain information on remotely-operated and standoff explosive detection technologies and system integration strategies that have the ability to detect unique signatures that could be attributed to the components of a VBIED.
