Call for Participants – Product Manager Soldier Weapons Precision Grenadier System Industry Day

This notice serves as an early notification for the event. All dates presented in this notice are estimates and are subject to change. Any questions regarding this event will be addressed following the next announcement on or about August 1, 2025. At that time, the US Government (USG) intends to release the draft Request for Proposal, meeting location, detailed agenda, and any additional registration requirements not listed below. USG data will be shared via SAFE only if a company has met the necessary requirements to receive the data.

Precision Grenadier System (PGS): The USG intends to tentatively conduct PGS Industry Day on September 16-17, 2025, to provide Program Overview, review draft Request for Proposal, and share USG information. The draft Save the Date Agenda is attached.

All visitors will be required to fill in and submit the required forms identified below tentatively on or before September 5, 2025. There will be no walk-ins or unregistered visitors allowed. There will be no one-on-one sessions during this event. The PGS Industry Day will be held near Picatinny Arsenal, NJ with a specific location to be determined.

The PGS is envisioned to be a Soldier portable, shoulder fired, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, integrated armament system (weapon, fire control, and ammunition) that enables rapid, precision engagements, while not impacting Soldier mobility. The PGS is anticipated to be deployed as a Soldier’s primary weapon system, providing organic, close-quarters combat, counter-defilade, and C-UAS capabilities through a family of ammunition to ranges in concert with the rest of the squad’s battlespace, and requiring minimal resupplies to support. This capability shall provide overmatch to comparable threat grenade launchers in near-peer formations in future operating environments to include urban, jungle, woodland, subterranean, and desert, in day, night, or obscured conditions.

All companies with personnel in attendance will be required to provide a DD2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement, AMSTA-AR 1350 Technical Data Request Questionnaire, and sign a Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA) applicable to the overall USG information prior to attending the event. Only one submission is needed per Company. All forms are attached.

For foreign companies, non-US citizens, and/or US citizens representing foreign companies, please provide your name, country of citizenship, and company to the POC below and further registration directions will be provided.
