FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — A slew of new weapons that will increase the lethality of troops are coming down the pipeline, according to Army officials.
The systems — which include everything from the next-generation squad weapon to machine guns — are within sight, said Lt. Col. Steven Power, the Army’s product manager for individual weapons.
Speaking during a panel discussion at the National Defense Industrial Association’s Armament Systems Forum in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, Power said the significance of soldier weapon systems cannot be overstated.
