2011 Army Weapon Systems
"The Army Acquisition, Logistics and Technology community is charged to perform a vital mission to
provide our Soldiers a decisive advantage in any mission by developing, acquiring, fielding, and
sustaining the world’s best equipment and services and leveraging technologies and capabilities to
meet current and future Army needs. Soldiers are the decisive edge. We provide them with leading-edge technologies and advanced capabilities to dominate in our current operations across the battlespace while simultaneously preparing to respond decisively to future threats.

This annual publication describes how we are accomplishing our mission and highlights our major
acquisition programs. You will learn what each program is designed to achieve for our Soldiers and the program’s status. Furthermore, you will learn about the contractors involved, teaming arrangements, and critical interdependencies with other programs and fielded systems. In addition, this handbook augments several key publications that characterize the strategic context for our work, including the 2010 Army Posture Statement, the 2010 Army Modernization Strategy, and our Science and Technology Master Plan..."
