Army Futures Command, or AFC, will soon decide whether weapons officials will get another shot at equipping infantry squads with a precision airburst weapon for killing enemy forces hiding behind cover.
Maneuver officials at Fort Benning, Georgia, announced in November that the Army would pursue the Precision Grenadier program to create a new weapon for launching explosive projectiles at enemies in defilade positions.
In the next couple of months, maneuver officials are scheduled to present a proposal for the effort to AFC commander Gen. Mike Murray for approval to move forward with the effort, Lt. Col. Christopher Kennedy, chief of the Lethality Branch at Benning, told defense industry officials Wednesday at the Maneuver Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate's Industry Day.
