What it is

What changed
No FY25→26 comparison — endpoints unavailable or on different bases.
Who gets it
No single contractor is published as this line's leader. 1 linked award record is listed below. 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. Why the crosswalk is partial.

No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2024. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.

Description

Description — Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station

This 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 M153 Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) is an integrated system that provides the capability to remotely operate all standard U.S. Army machine guns (i.e., M2 Heavy Barrel Machine Guns, MK-19 Grenade Machine Guns, M240B/L Medium Machine Guns and M249 Squad Automatic Weapons) and increase lethality solutions (to include Javelin) on a variety of vehicles from an Up-Armored High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) to a M1A2 Main Battle Tank. The CROWS system includes a three axis stabilized mount, a sensor suite with fire control software, and a vehicle integration kit. CROWS permits the gunner to manipulate the sight and weapon from under armor using a hand controller and a flat panel display. Missions can be carried out under conditions of varying visibility via the day camera or thermal camera. The laser range finder and three-axis stabilization allows for accurate fire on the move.

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.
