Welcome to The Objective, the official blog from SIG SAUER dedicated to providing insight into our military, government, and law enforcement programs. Through this platform we will provide a comprehensive view of SIG products and initiatives tailored specifically for defense applications. Here we will delve into the heart of our culture, our programs, and our products, offering insight into the development, growth, and sustainment of our portfolio of defense products.
The Objective is purposed to showcase the work of the SIG Defense team and the elite Special Weapons Group within SIG SAUER whose sole mission is to develop, innovate, and deliver the groundbreaking SIG products for military and government programs. Led by a team of experienced special forces veterans, SIG has assembled all the talent and the resources needed to work successfully with defense partners worldwide to conceive the most advanced, accurate, durable and reliable small arms systems available.
Look to The Objective for news and narratives, ranging from brief stories and updates about ongoing SIG projects and award announcements, to deep dives into topics, products, and programs that illustrate the defense team's unparalleled effort to deliver innovative solutions to our warriors. We’ll share exclusive behind-the-scenes content direct from our team explaining what, how, and why we innovate, along with news and reports from our government partners about programs in which SIG SAUER is leading the way.
The Objective is poised to feature stories on topics that include the development of the MCX-SPEAR and SIG-LMG, which are now fielded as the U.S. Army’s XM7 and XM250 Next Generation Squad Weapons; the M17 and M18 pistols, designed and manufactured by SIG for the Modular Handgun System with over 500,000 fielded and adopted by all branches of the U.S. Military; and the ongoing development of the SIG-MMG 338, Medium Machine Gun, for the elite warriors of our nation’s Special Operations Command – and that’s just the start.
At SIG SAUER, we embody the ethos of service. This idea keeps us at the forefront of small arms technology. Our CEO, Ron Cohen, succinctly captures our commitment, stating, “we expect our people to wake up every day knowing they serve a noble cause—a customer whose life depends on what we do.” This principle drives our relentless pursuit of innovation as we meet the evolving needs of our military and government customers that, like us, choose to never settle.
Through insightful topics that illuminate the world of weapon development, The Objective is the go-to industry resource for anyone interested in the cutting-edge world of military small arms technology.
