Subsystem Technologies, Inc. (SUBSYSTEMs) announced it has been awarded an Army Rapid Prototyping and Technology Initiative (RPTI) contract as part of a major Joint Munitions & Lethality (JM&L) Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) Strategic Sourcing Initiative. RPTI is designed to increase the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) responsiveness to meeting the soldier's immediate field requirements.

Under RPTI, SUBSYSTEMs will provide the Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey ARDEC program office with materials and services necessary to support the Global War on Terror (GWOT).

ARDEC's workforce provides lifecycle support for nearly 90 percent of the U.S. Army's weapons and munitions.

“SUBSYSTEMs is extremely proud and honored to expand our Army services to this very important rapid prototyping program,” said Richard Bodson, SUBSYSTEMs President. “We have provided dedicated and devoted support to the Army for over a quarter century and the RPTI program is a logical extension of our expertise, including that of our integrated teammates.
