The U.S. Army may be close to a breakthrough in lethality with its Next Generation Squad Weapon program, but what will make it truly deadly is the new sighting system that guides the 6.8mm round on target, says the Defense Department official responsible for making Army and Marine infantry squads more lethal.
Since October, the Army has been in discussions with gunmakers about how to develop prototypes of the Next Generation Squad Weapon, or NGSW, using a common, government-designed 6.8mm round. The NGSW will replace the M249 squad automatic weapon and M4 and M4A1 carbines.
