The U.S. Army is seeking industry partners for the Lethal Innovation Foundry Technologies (LIFT) program to explore enabling technologies for the 6.8mm weapons ecosystem, including weapons systems, fire control/optics, and ammunition. This is a Request for Information to establish Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs), not a contract, and the government cannot provide funds to partners under a CRADA. Suggested research areas include weight reduction, advanced recoil mitigation, automated target acquisition, innovative projectile designs, and additive manufacturing. Responses are restricted to U.S. and eligible Canadian companies, with submissions due by 1600 EST on 29 May 2026. No budget amounts are specified, and performance locations may be at vendor or government facilities.
