In accordance with Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Instruction 5400.15C, Department of the Navy (DoN) Research and Development, Acquisition, Associated Life-Cycle Management, and Logistics Responsibilities and Accountability, dated 02 December 2011, MARCORSYSCOM has the responsibility to centrally manage the procurement of a Squad Aiming Laser for various weapon systems within the Marine Corps. MARCORSYSCOM is interested in a commercially available aiming laser. The aiming laser is a compact and ruggedized aiming, pointing, and illuminating laser system that may be used on the following weapon systems: M4, M4A1, and M27. MARCORSYSCOM would like to gauge potential interest, establish the current state of industry, identify marked improvements in performance over fielded equipment, and receive information regarding advances in aiming laser technology. The purpose of this RFI is to receive information regarding advances in aiming laser technology, to identify marked improvement in performance over fielded equipment, and to assist in specification refinement and validation. The Squad Aiming Laser is not simply a reduced size/weight version of fielded equipment; instead, it should demonstrate aiming laser technology improvements over currently fielded equipment.
