Reorganization

• Placement of PM Soldier Weapons, PM Small Arms
  and PM OICW under PEO Soldier is a major
  advantage for support of the soldier
• Small Arms are a product line that is inherently
  soldier focused
• Establishment of the PEO Soldier will
  structurally establish a high level of visibility
  for key programs such as Small Arms and OICW
  within the Department of the Army
• Placement of Soldier Systems and Soldier Weapons
  in the same organization greatly facilitates
  integration of all elements used by the
  individual soldier
• Interaction between all organizational elements
  is improved

Future Programs

• FY04 Soldier Enhancement Program (SEP) Cycle
• The SEP cycle begins in mid summer. It is a key
  process through which enhancements and new
  systems can be provided to the soldier rapidly.
  Input to this process from all areas is critical
  to provide the soldiers with the items that they
  need.
• Technological Areas of Interest
• NANO Technology
• Advanced Shaped Charges/EFPs
• Advanced Non-Lethal Systems
• Robotic Vehicle Armament
• Composite Materials
