The demonstration was carried out with industry partners DRS Technologies and Orbital ATK at the Red Cloud Range, Fort Benning, GA. 

The live fire exercise featured the RIWP configured with a TOW missile launcher, M230LF 30mm cannon, and a US Army production Improved Bradley Acquisition Subsystem sight. The M230LF cannon fired multiple rounds at 400, 700 and 1500 meters, with all rounds hitting their intended targets.
