11. Armament Division Success Guns and Ammunition/Missiles and Rockets Small Arms Committee Value Added Has Been Demonstrated Leadership to Strengthen the Armament Community Challenge: Applying Technology, Systems for Future Force Ensuring Readiness . . . . Advancing Superior Capability Symposium Benefits Confirmed Increasing Interest/Participation

12. Symposium Observations • Improved links to DoD and service thrusts and initiatives • Interest in “after action reports” — “lessons learned”  industryresponsiveness • Focused interest in systems level presentation vs. technologyunless technology offers payoff vision • Presentation quality and “So What” message has improved — addsvalue • Increased industry sensitivity to intellectual property positions limiting topics from industry • Need to work beyond this topic • Industry leadership on presentations is lagging DoD/service PMs, centers, labs in some areas  need increased industry thrusts

13. NDIA International Symposium Links • Objective: International cooperation and integration of symposiums benefiting industry and Department of Defense to encourage partnerships for development, production, and interoperability • Approach: • Coordination of NDIA Armament Division programs with “Symposium at Shrivenham” The Royal Military College of Science • • Common presentations and panel participants is a strong “open door” resource European Small Arms and Cannon Symposium August 2004

14. 1. Engineering and production – Processes – Procurement processes 2. Product knowledge 3. New technology 4. Understanding user needs Capability driven requirements Joint operations/requirements Small Arms community sharing, discussions Symposium Consortium/National Center Test base programs Symposium Consortiums IR&D Lessons learned Small Arms master plan Symposium Linking NDIA to Product Evolution

15. Small Arms Committee Impact • Resource to Government and industry • A capability to apply • Symposium forum for effective communication, awareness, network • Strong link of industry with services is plus • Committee of Small Arms Producers (CSAP) • Focused to strengthen and evolve capability • Established Consortium focused to continuous improvements • Implementing plans for National Small Arms Center • Linking the community • Providing efficiencies • Focus to rapid response to needs • Committee addresses responsiveness to critical Small Arms concerns

16. Important Emerging NDIA Division Role • Enable effective communication of “after action reports” lessons learned and • Provide forum for dialogue and focus to • Realize appropriate changes • Capability improvements • Corrective actions • Technology insertion • New systems Approach: – Special symposium, special studies, Government/ industry study groups, integrate with symposiums – Applying NDIA resource of Government and industry
