	Ghost Recon Arms - XM29
		OICW gives the infantry soldier a capability to acquire targets and precisely detonate an air bursting 20mm projectile approximately 1 meter over the threat or alternatively on impact.
		The OICW weapon will consist of two separable subsystems, an HE module, and a KE module, with a single trigger and a selector to switch between those modules.
		A weapons expert also indicates that the 25mm projectile will probably replace the current 20mm one that is in use for testing at the moment.

	Objective Individual Combat Weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Objective Individual Combat Weapon or OICW usually meant the next-generation service rifle competition that was under development as part of the OICW program.
		OICW Increment 2 is the airburst weapon (the (XM25).
		The SAMP stated that such weapons must utilize the latest developments in computers and visual technologies, as well as in small arms, and combine both high explosive warheads and traditional bullet firing capabilities in a single weapon that should be fielded circa 2000.

	Objective Individual Combat Weapon
		It had to be a weapon capable of winning on urban battlegrounds as well as in more familiar desert, forest and jungle terrain.
		The key to the OICW's success in urban warfare is its electronic fire-control system, which enables the rifle to determine when its "smart" 20mm ammunition should detonate.
		One drawback of the current weapon system is that add-ons bring the weight of an M16 to just under 20 pounds.

	Steyr ACR
		The reason that the ACR should be chosen in the Advanced Combat Rifle Trials is the Steyr Mannlicher entry redefines combat effectiveness through maximum hit probability under battlefield stress, through the year 2000 and beyond.
		Weapons safety, efficiency, comfort, and reliability are essential to reducing the influence of stress on the individual combatant and from producing high levels of battlefield confidence.
		This means greater logistics supportability of a family of weapons, greater enhancement of maintenance in the field and depot level.

	The Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW)
		The OICW is a two barreled over-under weapon that includes a 5.56mm select-fire rifle of fairly conventional design with an advanced semi-auto 20mm bullpup magazine-fed grenade launcher.
		The weapons were simple, robust, and cost-effective, but some had a tendency to be on the porky side.
		The old M16 curse of the "Mattel rifle" may be brought back on the OICW, but if the interface is built ruggedly enough, this kind of flexibility would be a boon, allowing it to replace the M4 carbine, M16, and M203 with one modular system at a single stroke.

	GDR 99 - Weapons Systems
		The objective individual combat weapon (OICW) developed by Alliant Techsystems is designed to replace selectively 5.56mm M16A2 assault rifles, M4 carbines, and the M203 40mm grenade launcher.
		The revolutionary aspect of this new weapon is its ability to engage enemy targets beyond the reach of the M16, particularly those in defilade, in trenches, behind trees, inside shelters and on rooftops.
		Although the OICW system is designed to make its fuse-setting operation transparent to the gunner, a manual override mode is available to respond directly to the user and his assessment of the combat situation.

	XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW)
		OICW gives the infantry soldier a capability to acquire targets and precisely detonate an air bursting 20mm projectile approximately 1 meter over the threat.
		The OICW weapon will consist of two separable subsystems, an HE module, and a KE module, with a single trigger and selector switch that operate both subsystems and interacts with the TA/FCS automatic fuze programming.
		Given OICW’s significant edge in effectiveness (5 times more at 300 meters) an engagement cost for the existing M203 would be $80-100 to achieve what a single $30 OICW round can do.

	Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) / Selectable Assault Battle Rifle (SABR)
		SABR is a modular weapon system, consisting of the Fire Control System (FCS); a "kinetic energy" component comprised of a short 5.56mm rifle barrel and trigger group from the Heckler & Koch 036 assault rifle; and the grenade launcher consisting of a magazine-fed, semiautomatic 2Omm grenade launcher barrel and an action and recoil absorption mechanism.
		The Objective Individual Combat Weapon Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) provides an enhanced capability for the 21st century infantryman, with the potential to selectively replace the M16 rifle, M203 grenade launcher, and M4 carbine.
		The OICW dramatically increases soldier survivability, has the ability to defeat enemies in defilade, and is five times more effective at twice the range of today's conventional infantry systems.

		The XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW), also referred to as the Selectable Assault Battle Rifle, is a highly advanced new assault rifle / grenade launcher system slated to replace certain M-16 assault rifles with M203 underslung grenade launcher.
		The resulting weapon was type-classified by the US Army as the XM29 circa 2002.
		The XM29 is a combination weapon, which has the 20 mm semi-automatic, magazine fed grenade launcher as its primary part, and the 5.56 mm compact assault rifle as its secondary part.

		The weapon's most revolutionary feature is the way it uses a laser and computer to get at enemies who are concealed up to 3,280 feet away.
		Indeed, development of the weapon has alarmed arms control advocates, who are already warning that it will cause civilian carnage in the developing countries when guerrillas get hold of American models or knockoffs.
		Yet even the weapon's most passionate supporters acknowledge that several hurdles must be cleared before the weapon is in wide use.

	[No title]
		The OICW is the U.S. infantry combat weapon of tomorrow.
		The sight can connect via the weapon interface to a helmet-mounted display, allowing the soldier to engage while keeping head and body behind cover, using his rifle like a periscope in dangerous situations and even to use aimed fire over trenches or around corners without risking exposure.
		Weapon cannot be fired alone, so the weight of the 5.56mm rifle was included in calculations for SS, Acc, Wt., Rcl., ST and Holdout.

		The March 4 “Pre-solicitation Notice for the Objective Individual Combat Weapon Increment I family of weapons,” invites small-arms makers to try and meet an Army requirement for a “non developmental family of weapons that are capable of firing U.S. standard M855 and M856” 5.56mm ammunition.
		The OICW Increment I is intended to replace current weapon systems, including the M-4, M-16, M-249 squad automatic weapon and selected M-9 pistols for the active Army, the notice states.

	Report: Profiling the Small Arms Industry - World Policy Institute - Research Project
		Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW): Alliant is the prime contractor for the OICW, the Army's next generation combat rifle, touted as "revolutionizing warfare." It will be capable of firing two types of rounds: a conventional bullet, like the current generation M-16 rifle, or a 20mm grenade.
		Weapons analyst William Arkin estimates that 300 tons of depleted uranium was dispersed during the Persian Gulf war, mostly from the 30mm and 120mm DU shells.
		The OICW is being marketed as 'two weapons in one,' with one barrel that shoots a 5.56 mm shell and acts like an M-16 for close-range fighting, and a second barrel that fires 20 mm air-burst shells that function like small grenades.

	Police and security review The XM-8 Battle Rifle
		The OICW was a combination of "kinetic energy" projector (a battle rifle that fired the Remington.223) and a semi-autonomous, air-bursting 20mm grenade launcher.
		The weapon can also be equipped with a 5-position collapsible stock, a flat butt plate (for an extremely small weapon profile), an adjustable sniper stock, or a folding stock.
		While no gas-operating weapon (including the XM-8) is immune to the effects of fouling, the XM-8's system presents a clear advantage over the M-16: The receiver utilizes a six-lug rotating bolt that fully supports the cartridge case and is driven by a "pusher" type gas piston.

		The Objective Individual Combat Weapons (OICW) was designed to be incorporated in to the Army's new Brigade Combat Team (BCT), a specialized, highly mobile (of course!), light infantry unit expected to be fully operational in 2025.
		This weapon breaks down into two logical weapons that would allow one Marine to pick it up and attach it to his weapon without having to loose his personal weapon in the trade.
		The final drawback is that this weapon has a lot of high-speed, low-drag technology associated with it, and I wonder about its durability in the field.
