ADM understands that firing tests of the two lightweight automatic grenade launchers (LWAGL) proposed for the Land 40 Phase 2 requirement have been completed, a decision has yet to be made on the preferred system. Under Land 40 Phase 2 Defence is seeking to acquire a direct fire support weapon (DFSW) capability for each ARA infantry battalion (in addition to the Javelin DF Guided Missile system secured under Phase 1). As part of this requirement an RFT was released last year for the provision of 60 Lightweight Automatic Grenade Launchers (LWAGL) with an option to subsequently purchase up to 90 additional units. The successful contractor will need to provide up to 10 years support for the weapon systems.
