The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $425.0K for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $17.5M as actual total obligation authority — $17.1M above the request. 17.5 − 0.4 = 17.1 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — M240 Medium Machine Gun (7.62mm)
The M240 Medium Machine Gun (7.62mm) program supports the Army Modernization priorities (Build a More Lethal Force) through enhancement of Joint Lethality in contested environments by minimizing and eliminating erosion of close combat capability relative to peer competitors in complex terrain as outlined in the National Defense Strategy (NDS). The M240 series machine guns are available in different configurations for various applications. The M240B Machine Gun is a ground version of the original M240 Machine Gun, 7.62MM Medium Machine Gun class weapon, designed as a coaxial/pintle-mounted weapon for tanks and light armored vehicles. The M240B also includes: a flash suppressor, front sight, carrying handle, buttstock, pistol grip, bipod, heat shield and rear sight assembly. The M240B Machine Gun may also be tripod-mounted and used in conjunction with a traversing and elevating mechanism and mount pintle. The M240H is a variant of this same family of Machine Guns and is employed as the self defensive armament subsystem for the UH-60 BLACK HAWK and CH-47 Chinook Helicopters. The M240H uses the same receiver and barrel as the M240B but has a spade grip trigger assembly. It also has a unique mounting interface and pintle to properly interface with the helicopter platform. The lighter M240L replaces the M240B in Special Forces/Rangers, Light Infantry and Airborne units. The M240L significantly reduces the weight of the current M240B, by approximately 6 pounds, while maintaining the same level of reliability. The weight reduction is accomplished through the use of lightweight materials and innovative manufacturing techniques.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
