A Joint Venture in support of the Rapid Prototyping Technology Initiative (RPTI)
with the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Joint Munitions and Lethality Life Cycle Management Command (JM&L LCMC).


The purpose of the RPTI contract is to increase Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) responsiveness in meeting its customers’ immediate requirements. To support the Global War on Terror (GWOT), ARDEC’s mission has expanded to include providing expedited developmental solutions to meet the warfighter’s needs at various stages throughout the product lifecycle.
