US Army Selects Strike Industries Cable Management System for Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) Program

Las Vegas, Nevada — Strike Industries is proud to announce that its Cable Management System® (CMS) has been selected by the United States Army for use in the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) Program (in use beginning 2024). We are very excited and honored for the opportunity to contribute to the US Military. This significant achievement represents a milestone for our company and a testament to the quality and innovation of our products.

Our CMS is a meticulously crafted ecosystem in development since 2018. Engineered to solve the cable conundrum stemming from flashlights, lasers, and other weapon electronics, our CMS does more than just hold cables. It ingeniously stores excess cable within the weapon accessories and guides the cable’s direction seamlessly.

We have developed over 20 CMS products which include handguards, rail covers, vertical grips, angled grips, picatinny mounted, M-LOK mounted accessories, and several more parts. To date, Strike Industries has received multiple issued patents for these products with more patents pending.

Within our CMS product line, three products were chosen after a rigorous evaluation and selection process that included extensive testing which included other companies’ products as well — to ensure who would meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and security required by the US military:

  • Strike Multidirectional Picatinny Rail Cover w/ Cable Management
  • M-LOK Cable Management Covers (Long)
  • M-LOK Cable Management Covers (Short)

Key benefits and features of these Cable Management System® products:

-Enables users to organize and store excess wire from weapon lights or any other cabled accessories.

-Aesthetic top rail cover protects hand or thumb from picatinny rail’s sharp edges while providing more control and comfort over the front end of the weapon platform.

-M-LOK covers serve in organizing wires and mitigating heat from the barrel.

-Come in a short version which is about the length of one M-LOK slot (1.57”).

-Come in a long version which is about the length of two M-LOK slots (3.14”).

    A lot of people hate on some of the goofy products Strike releases, but I’ve always felt they release an equal amount of functional and high quality accessories, to match. Good on them for snagging this contract – like others before (Magpul, etc.) hopefully this is the start of something big!

      I’ve had no problems with their AR-15/AR-10 lower parts kits and I’ve put them into half a dozen guns now.

    This is what 100mph tape is for. I get civilians liking to get fancy wire management stuff so their rifles look nice and tidy. But this is targeted for the NGSW. Strap it down with tape or inner tube bands and call it a day.

    Given that this is blatantly stolen IP from Forward Controls Design, it is a pretty big deal, yeah. Chinese company steals IP of a good innovative American company and gets a contract from the government for a non-Berry complaint component? It’s BS is what it is.

    Why are we not 3d printing these in house?
