Marine Corps Times hat die Überschrift des Artikels von
ZITAT Corps chooses H&K to make SAW replacement zu ZITAT H&K is frontrunner in IAR competition geändert und Military Times schreibt: ZITAT USMC IAR update – H&K is not a lock UPDATE: We’ve heard from sources in the DoD that the IAR program award is not a conventional contract award. From what we understand, this is actually a downselect to just one system as opposed to a contract win that gives the Corps the ability to make changes to the program that could include significant changes to the weapon or choosing an entirely different weapon in some circumstances. Acquisitions is more art than science, it seems, so bear with us as we try to get more clarity on this issue.
