SureFire has been awarded a $23.3 million suppressor contract by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division—the primary solicitation center for U.S. Special Operations Command.
The contract was issued as the most comprehensive modern suppressor evaluation conducted by the U.S. military to date. It focused on criteria that subjected suppressor systems to prolonged testing on a variety of firearms platforms.
SureFire suppressors were chosen based on test criteria such as: reliability, sound reduction, accuracy, point-of-impact shift, durability and operational suitability.
“From day one, SureFire’s commitment has been to increase the safety and success of the war fighter and peacekeeper by developing products that exceed the standards for performance and quality,” said Barry Dueck, director of SureFire’s Suppressor Division. “Our suppressors are no exception. We build these to enhance the operational capabilities of our customers, knowing that their lives often depend on their equipment, and we’re very pleased that USSOCOM will now have multiple models available to improve their operational effectiveness.”
