This month the U.S. Army's Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiments (AEWE) program tested the AimLock Stabilized Weapon Platform for the first time during a live fire exercise. This ungainly-looking gun seeks to revolutionize the average infantryman's combat effectiveness by removing human error from the equation entirely.
A civilian development company called Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory (RMSL), based in Littleton, Colorado, designed the AimLock system.
