This notice serves as a notification for the event. All dates presented in this notice are estimates and are subject to change. US Government (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 conduct PGS Industry Day on October 21-22, 2025, to provide Program Overview, review draft Prototype Project Opportunity Notice, and share USG information. The updated draft agenda is attached.

All visitors will be required to fill in and submit the required forms identified below tentatively on or before October 13, 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 at Hilton Garden Inn – Rockaway (375 Mount Hope Ave., Rockaway NJ 07866 (973-328-0600)). Group rate available in limited quantity.

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.

Companies without an approved DD2345 will not be able to receive Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Companies will have access to unclassified information at the Distribution Statement A level, but may be asked to leave the room during portions of the Industry Day briefings that involve CUI.

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.
