「三軍輕武器計劃」(英語:Joint Service Small Arms Program)為美軍在1970年代尋找M1911手槍[1][2][3][4]的替代品而成立的部門。
歷史
[编辑]在美國空軍首先開始了「三軍輕武器計劃」(Joint Service Small Arms Program、JSSAP)以為美軍尋找M1911的替代品時,數家廠商在1970年後期提供了多種9×19毫米北約標準口徑手槍來參加試驗。
至1980年,貝瑞塔92手槍S-1打敗了柯爾特(Colt)、史密斯威森(S&W)、Star、赫尔斯塔尔国营工厂及黑克勒&科赫(H&K)提供的試驗手槍[5][6]。
由於陸軍對試驗評選中的認受性作出質疑,陸軍在1984年開出了新的XM9試驗,史密斯威森、貝瑞塔、黑克勒-科赫、西格&绍尔、瓦爾特(Walther)、施泰爾(Steyr)及赫尔斯塔尔国营工厂都有參加了,貝瑞塔又再贏得了這次試驗,1985年成為了XM9的生產商。
可靠性問題令軍方在1988年又再開始了XM10的試驗,貝瑞塔依然勝出[7][8][8][9][10]。

The last procurement of the .45 caliber pistol occurred in 1945. Since that time the existing inventory has been maintained by rebuilding and reconditioning the worn weapons. Department of Defense witnesses testified that $1.5 million is currently budgeted for the procurement of replacement components for those handguns. They also testified "field reports indicate that it is reaching the end of its maintainable life." After urging of House Committee on Appropriations, the Department of Defense, in 1978, initiated two studies to investigate the benefits of standardizing ammunition and handguns of the military departments.

Interest in the 9-mm handgun started in 1978 with informal Air Force testing of 9-mm pistols.[...] DOD concluded 2 years later that handgun standardization using 9-mm ammunition was feasible. At first, DOD planned to rely on the results of Air Force testing, which concluded that Beretta [92S-1] was by far the superior weapon tested. The Army, however, opposed awarding a sole-source contract to Beretta on grounds that the Air Force testing was not scientific. Since 1980, the Army has conducted two additional extensive rounds of testing the 9-mm pistol.
