Carbine Competition logo
The Individual Carbine was a competition to select the planned successor to the M4 carbine in the United States Army.
The U.S. Army conducted an open competition for a carbine to replace the M4. This competition was for the Army only—the United States Marine Corps and other branches chose to stay with current weapons in service. The proposal was passed before the Joint Requirements Oversight Council in August 2010, and the Army was to solicit submissions from the small arms industry by the end of that year.[1] The competition was open to all manufacturers. However, Phase II testing reduced the field down to six rifles. The competition was intended to provide an evaluation of the full range of weapons available. Presolicitation notice W15QKN-11-R-F003 was posted January 31, 2011.[2]
Complete results of the competition and selection of a new carbine were expected before FY 2013. However, the competition was cancelled in June 2013.[3]
