Arlington, VA – STS recently won Advanced Expeditionary Warfare Development’s (AEWD) Task Order for Safety and Operational Assessment of Lightweight Remote Weapon Station. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground-Research Triangle Park and the Special Missions Branch have collaborated with Army Research Laboratory to support Project Manager Solider Lethality (PM SL) by soliciting a Task Order (TO) on the Advanced Expeditionary Warfare Development (AEWD) contract vehicle. The TO is to support Product Director Crew Served Weapons’ (PD CSW’s) mission to add new capabilities to PM SL’s weapons portfolio. PM SL ensures that Soldiers on the battlefield have overmatch capabilities in individual and crew served weapons. PM SL supports soldiers through the development, production, fielding, and sustainment of current and future weapons systems, as well as associated target acquisition/fire control products. Under this TO, STS and its subcontractors IEC Infrared Systems and Precision Remotes LLC will deliver Lightweight Remote Weapon Stations to PdM CSW and provide on-site and remote site test, safety, and operational assessment product support.
“STS is pleased to continue our enduring engagement with PD CSW, ACC, and ARL and work on the AEWD contract vehicle,” says STS President, Dave Morgan.
