Singapore shall not bid for M4
replacement!!
ST Engineering ie VT-System ,shall consider the political cost
if SAR 21
selected by US armed forces to replace M4.
If SAR 21 is selected and Yankees use it to kill some
one,be it civilians ,armed forces or militants,
SG gavaman and her people sure dunt want people
around the world remember that the rifle is designed by
Singapore!
This connection is not in the interest of Singapore.
We dunt need few bucks made from the deal.
We dunt need the selection to enhance our reputation in
technology.
We dunt need to tell pple that we are First World country.
We dunt need the troubles connected with Yankees' rifle.
I APPEAL SAR 21 SHALL NOT BE
PRESENTED TO
Yankee for any small arms replacement.
It is ok just sell to civilian.Let Yankees
see the real SAR 21.
@@@@@@@
.."formal request for proposal for a new carbine to gun
makers late next year, Tamilio said."
Yankees have to wait for few more years for any improvement
or replacemnet for M4. say 2012,I think SG may come out with
upgraded version
of SAR 21,13 years since its debut.

As the Army scales back on its M4 carbine buys, the service’s
top official said Thursday it’s time to look for the next carbine
soldiers will carry into battle.
Secretary of the Army Pete Geren’s comments set the tone for the
small arms industry day that drew 19 companies from across the
country to Washington, D.C., with the hope of replacing the
service’s M4 carbine.
“Today is an important step in an effort to ensure that our
soldiers always have the best,” Geren said. “Not just the best
today, but the best tomorrow.”
The Army-sponsored event is the result of a “request for
information” the service put out in August to assess what the U.S.
small arms industry is capable of producing.
The Army purchased of the
remaining balance of 473,000 M4s Wednesday, which will be delivered
over the next two years, Geren said.
“That completes the Army
acquisition objective for the M4,” Geren said, adding that
the service would continue to buy the M4 in reduced quantities to
maintain adequate replacements as needed.
The M4 is the Army’s primary individual weapon. For more than a
year, it has been the subject of increased scrutiny by lawmakers on
Capitol Hill concerned about whether soldiers have the best
available weapon.
Geren said the goal of the event is to help the Army determine
what is “achievable in terms of carbine technology.”
This is the first step toward a carbine competition the Army
intends to open next year after Colt Defense LLC, the company that
makes the M4, turns over the weapon’s technical data rights in June
2009. When that happens, the Army
will have the opportunity to improve the M4 or buy a new
carbine.
Geren has directed the Army to update its requirement for a
carbine to reflect the current and future needs of soldiers.
The new requirement is scheduled to be completed by the end of
the calendar year and approved by next summer, said Col. Doug
Tamilio, Program Executive Office Soldier’s project manager for
Soldier Weapons.
Provided that the new carbine requirement is approved and
funding is available, the Army will issue a formal request for
proposal for a new carbine to gun makers late next year, Tamilio
said.
