SIG SAUER Responds to New Jersey Attorney General’s Latest Attack on Firearms Industry

Friday, October 17th, 2025

NEWINGTON, N.H., (October 17, 2025) – New Jersey Attorney General Platkin (D) filed a complaint against SIG SAUER, making numerous false and unsubstantiated claims about the P320. This false information requires immediate clarification and remedy.

AG Platkin’s assertion that the Modular Handgun System (MHS) program would not accept SIG SAUER’s submission because testing by the U.S. Army deemed it “unsafe” without a manual safety is outright false. The MHS program solicitation required all firearm manufacturers’ bids include pistols with manual safeties. The Government assured all bidders it would discontinue testing and eliminate a competitor from further consideration if the testing process uncovered any safety issue. SIG SAUER was not eliminated from the competition, but in fact was awarded the contract for the military’s official sidearm.

The Attorney General’s office further stated that an FBI Ballistics Research Facility report claimed one of the safety mechanisms of the P320 can be disabled without any pressure on the trigger. This is also false. SIG SAUER engineers worked directly with the FBI and the Michigan State Police, who commissioned the report, to conduct a comprehensive battery of follow-on tests. The tests resulted in zero failures and today the Michigan State Police confidently issue their officers P320 pistols.

Contrary to the baseless allegations, SIG SAUER has always and will continue to put the safety and security of the US Military, the law enforcement community, consumers, and the public first. AG Platkin’s statement that the P320 can fire uncommanded is also incorrect. To date, nearly twenty (20) P320 lawsuits have been dismissed. Despite years of litigation, plaintiffs’ “experts” have been repeatedly excluded from testifying after being unable to re-create a P320 discharge without a trigger pull. SIG SAUER intends to seek dismissal of AG Platkin’s baseless complaint.

The P320 pistol is one of the safest, most advanced pistols in the world. It meets and exceeds all industry safety standards. Its design has been thoroughly tested and validated by the U.S. Military and law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local levels, along with several major global militaries. Since its development in 2014, the P320 has undergone more testing and technical review than virtually any other pistol in history.

AUSA 25 – SIG SAUER Introduces New Robotic Solutions

Friday, October 17th, 2025

Over the past few AUSA meetings SIG SAUER has incrementally introduced new robotic solutions such as the Pitbull Remote Weapon Station and small arms integration into aerial drones.

This year they exhibited a scaled down version of their RWS mounted to an IAI Fire Storm APUS 60 quadcopter which was developed specifically for this application. It is fuel powered and offers 3 hours of endurance.

The RWS features an LMG and 200 rounds of 7.62 NATO ammunition for a total weight of 24 kg.

It uses the same tech as the ground based RWS but scaled down for aviation use. Consequently, it is purpose built for use with the LMG and is not modular, or meant to accept a variety of weapons.

It will traverse 30 deg left and right and depress -45 deg. That combined with the maneuverability of the drone will ensure target acquisition, PID, and engagement via the controller.

Additionally, they showed the Pitbull RWS mounted to a Deka Sentry Security Platform. This all-terrain, wheeled, multi-mission robot is offered in 3 models with this being the Monster Bot.

It is adapted from a carriage for individuals with mobility challenges and is gyrostabilized to offer a solid, upright platform for any application including ISR and weapon employment. For example, it keeps the payload level even when negotiating stairs.

While the weapon station relies on SIG’s controller, the platform itself can be autonomous, negotiating terrain on its own with little to no human input other than waypoints.

AUSA 25 – GORE-TEX Introduces Improved Army Wet Weather Boot by McRae Footwear

Thursday, October 16th, 2025

GORE-TEX brand displayed their candidate for an Improved Army Temperate Wet Weather Boot.

This boot is commercially available from McRae Footwear and is a GORE-TEX lined variant of their popular modern jungle boot called the Terrassault (T2) Ultra Light Hot Weather Combat Boot. The addition of the GORE-TEX lining makes them suitable for temperate climates where Soldiers often face cold wet conditions such as in Central Europe and across the much of North America.

The boot is 40% lighter, 25% more breathable, and not to mention more flexible, than the Temperate Combat Boot which was removed from the clothing bag. Currently, Soldiers receive two pairs of Hot Weather Boots. One of these could be swapped out for the Improved Army Temperate Wet Weather Boot to offer Soldiers better foot protection in wet environments.

Wear testers said it was more comfortable and lighter than the temperate combat boot as well as offering an athletic fit.

Below is a chart that compares the current Army Temperate Weather Boot with this proposed replacement and the Army Hot Weather Boot.

AUSA 25 – CODiAQ by Skyborne Technologies

Thursday, October 16th, 2025

Every year the Australian pavilion at AUSA’s annual meeting gets larger and this year it was packed with both companies and victor’s checking out their wares.

Our friends at Ghost Robotics told us to check out a project they were working on with Skyborne Technologies called Controller Operated Direct Action Quadruped or CODiAQ.

Mounted in a roll cage to Ghost’s Vision-60 Quadraped Unmanned Ground Vehicle, this lethal direct-fire and ballistic breaching robot boasts the HAVOC 40mm Weapon Payload which is a rotary launcher with five tubes. Alternatively there is the CHAOS 12 ga payload, a 10 rotating cylinder weapon.

This sits atop the Targeting Electronics &Optics Box (TEOB) and utilizes a Silvus Streamcaster MANET Radio. The TEOB is powered by Skyborne’s Targeting Software which provides AI assisted target recognition, ballistic computation, and platform control via a single RF link and control station (GCS).

The system weighs 66 kg / 145 lbs and can be mounted to the Vision-60 in 10 minutes with weapon swap-out or reload in just 90 seconds.

The program is sponsored by ASD/SOLIC’s Capability Development and Innovation office.
