PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. - U.S. Army Soldiers are using gaming environments to work side-by-side with engineers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center at Picatinny Arsenal, with the goal of improving lethality, survivability and situational awareness for Gunners. The Armaments Center at Picatinny leads the development of turret systems for armored and tactical vehicles. The designs are performed in-house along with the engineering analysis and prototype fabrication. Recent developments include the Objective Commander’s Weapon Station (OCWS) for the new Armored Multipurpose Vehicle (AMPV). The OCWS provides protection and firepower to the AMPV commander.
