<\/u>En el marco del programa denominado \u201cNext Generation Squad Program\u201d, cuyo objetivo es el reemplazo de los fusiles de asalto M16 \/ M4 que llevan m\u00e1s de 50 a\u00f1os de servicio, el US Army ha seleccionado al calibre 6.8mm como el m\u00e1s adecuado para unificar los dos calibres de arma port\u00e1til de dotaci\u00f3n (5.56 \/ 7.62mm). El citado programa incluye al fusil de asalto y la ametralladora liviana, cuyos prototipos presentados por 5 empresas ser\u00e1n ensayados durante el presente a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

The long-awaited replacement to the standard\u00a0M16\/M4 service weapon<\/a>\u00a0and the squad level\u00a0light machine gun<\/a>\u00a0are expected to be on the firing line in summer 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After much public guessing on what caliber the new weapon might fall into, the Army selected 6.8mm as the caliber for both its M16\/M4 and Squad Automatic Weapon replacement with a prototype notice posted in October.<\/p>\n

Prior to the selection, officials asked industry to give their best bets on a round that would meet ramped up distance, accuracy and lethality on impact somewhere between 5.56mm and 7.62mm, the current standard rounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Before that notice posted, the Army selected five companies to provide six prototypes for the automatic weapon portion to test fire in June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
