CONTRACTOR'S Final REPORT (CDRL A007)
Indirect Fire Multi Grenade Launcher

(Some nice pics we haven't seen before)

Metal storm have reached TRL 6 (Do you believe it) again we have to find in the public domain
nothing from the company...

Duration = 9 Months, Total Cost = $1,000,000 for qualification/certification


• Endurance Firing Schedule including 10,000 munitions = $140,000


• Qty. 2 GLH1852 MAULs (integrated) = $20,000


• E^3 Testing by Northrop = $30,000


• Environmental Testing = $50,000


• Shock/Vibration Testing = $20,000


• FMECA / Reliability Study (Contracted) = $25,000

• 5-phase project management for duration = $250,000

4. CONCLUSION

The project was completed under budget and successfully demonstrated that the Indirectfire,multi-shot Grenade Launcher concept could be realized in a lightweight accessorylauncher. Successful live fire demonstrations further proved that the system isoperationally viable across a range of scenarios.


TRL levels for the IFMGL were increased from a 2-3 at the beginning of the program toa 6 at program completion. All
objectives were met and many were exceeded. The launcher has been shown to operational commanders with requirements for a lightweight,handheld, accessory weapon that offers the added capability of a direct and indirect fire multi-grenade launcher with lethal and less-than-lethal projectiles.


Recommended next steps for the project are to expand the range of munitions to be used with the Indirect Fire Multi Grenade Launcher. Followon testing and certification of the launcher should also be considered to move towards an operationally deployable system.
