Plumb Precision Products is excited to announce its submission into the xTechSolider Lethality Precision Grenadier System.
The Plumb Precision M110 Precision Grenadier System (P3-M110 PGS) is a SDVOSB effort for a M110 rifle-based system. The P3 M110-PGS receivers are M110 pattern, re-designed to accept 17.5mm Ammunition. This developmental ammunition is a 17.5mm projectile fired from 12-gauge shotgun sized cases.
P3-M110 PGS Ammunition is low- or high-pressure rated. The Counter-Defilade ammunition is pre-programmed time of flight detonating (based on range) or point detonating. P3 will include Training, CQB/SUB-T, Breaching, Anti-Armor (SABOT/HEAT types), and Counter UAS (Flechette / EM discharge) ammunition types.
The P3-M110 PGS uses SR25 type magazines and has M4 type ambidextrous controls. The P3 M110-PGS is 8 lbs. empty (target of 11.5 lbs. loaded). The P3-M110 PGS is less than 34” long (target 28” long with suppressor).
The P3-M110 PGS has a Variable Power Direct View Optic. The DVO has a patented self-ranging etched reticle. It is ammo BDC matched including blast radius.
Targeting information is shown via Heads-Up Display with aiming reference points and numerical data. The targeting system has patent pending wind reading and sound locating (counter UAS) features. This data is transmitted via a patented encrypted network.
Plumb Precision Products will leverage existing technologies and industry partnerships to provide a system with unprecedented flexibility and lethality.
This is an interesting take on the PGS to me. I wonder what other submissions there are, like an updated XM-25?
So a Gen12 with a programable Frag12 and FCS. It’ll be interesting to see how it fares, maybe the FCS can make up for the lethality issues from a smaller round. That kind of portability certainly would be nice.
The US Army PGS program has a requirement to engage light armored vehicles at 500 meters and counter UAS at 300 meters. All in a 34 inch 14.5 lbs package.
I question a shotgun sized round being able to contain both a hearty enough charge AND programable fusing.
Frankly the size/weight specs have always seemed to me to point toward a programable Milkor M32A1 MSGL. Mostly because it would also provide cross compatibility with standard low & medium velocity 40mm ammo available
I don’t see the point. We already see that 30X29 VOG and 40mm grenades aren’t lethal enough so 12.7-25mm won’t cut it neither.
If you have other info that contradict that, please share.
