August 20th, 2019Ronin Fire Print
August 20th, 2019
Offered by Ronin Tactics, the Ronin “Fire” print is by artist Marc Lee. Each is signed and the print number will be marked by Tu Lam and the artist.
History-In the teachings of “Fire” from “The Book of Five Rings, 1645” -Miyamoto Musashi explains the art of fighting as fire. As a former Green Beret, I have studied the physical movements of combat and had employed these movements during my time in war. Now as a Ronin, I seek for deeper understanding of the mind. During this process of understanding, I’ve reached out to the writings of past warriors for deeper understanding in the world and in myself. Now as a Ronin and a teacher to many, I find my connection as a human being with others seeking to improve themselves in life and during this process, I found deeper meaning within myself and my connection with the Heavens. “I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new.”

Marine Corps Issues Pre-Solicitation for Squad Common Optic Contract
August 20th, 2019Back in May we told you of the Marine Corps’ desire to field a Squad Common Optic for the M27 Infantry Assault Rifle which is becoming the standard weapon for Marines in the Infantry Squad. The Marines envision the SCO as a magnified optic to improve target acquisition and probability of hit P(h) between 0-600 meters (m). The SCO includes a non-caliber specific reticle, is variable power, and incorporates a user selectable illuminated or non-illuminated aim-point.
Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), Portfolio Manager Ground Combat Element Systems (PfM GCES), Program Manager Infantry Weapon just released a pre-solicitation to industry, which serves as a Warning Order that they plan to open a Full and Open Competitive solicitation for the SCO on or about September 13, 2019 with proposal due date on or about October 21, 2019.
Army Futures Teaming with Industry on Advanced Robotics, Sensors
August 20th, 2019
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Army Futures Command is soliciting industry for information on emerging technologies in robotics and sensors to enhance the targeting capabilities of Army small tactical units.
Researchers are in the initial stages of the Smart Targeting Environment for Lower Level Assets, or STELLA, program that will enable Soldiers to operationalize robotics to rapidly employ, build and share target data in multi-domain operations. The goal is to shorten the amount of time it takes for Soldiers to detect, acquire and identify a target before they engage the enemy.
AFC’s major subordinate command, the Combat Capabilities Development Command, or CCDC, is leading the effort and will issue a request for information, or RFI, in August 2019. The RFI will help the Army to gauge current capabilities, ongoing research and development, and emerging trends.
“We’re developing an efficient system so there is a Soldier in the loop making a decision much more quickly on what needs to be engaged. The future battlefield will include a large number of sensors detecting targets and high-value assets. With higher volumes on information, we need to ensure the Soldier isn’t overwhelmed,” said Osie David, a chief engineer within CCDC’s center for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance — or C5ISR.
Several areas of science and technology expertise will converge for the STELLA program, Osie said. C5ISR Center will use the findings from the RFI to inform future efforts in support of the Army’s manned-unmanned teaming concept.
C5ISR Center anticipates releasing a request for proposal, or RFP, in early 2020. The STELLA program is scheduled to begin in fall 2020.
