Barrett and MARS Inc Team Win U.S. Army xTech Soldier Lethality Competition with Revolutionary 30mm Precision Grenadier System

Monday, June 9th, 2025

MURFREESBORO, TN – The U.S. Army has announced that the MARS Inc, Barrett team has been selected as the winner of the xTech Soldier Lethality competition. In six months, this team of agile businesses were able to design, build, test, and demonstrate the effectiveness of a new 30mm grenade rifle system in support of the Army’s Precision Grenadier System (PGS) requirement. PGS is a soldier portable, shoulder fired, semi-automatic, magazine fed, integrated armament system (weapon, ammunition, fire control) that enables rapid, precision engagements to destroy personnel targets in defilade and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) targets at close range. Both companies are proud to have the opportunity to provide this unique capability to the U.S. and allied war fighters.

MARS Inc. and Barrett’s PGS submission for U.S. Army’s xTech.

“For decades, Barrett has changed the battlefield with revolutionary systems like the shoulder fired semi-automatic .50 caliber Model 82 and its modern variants, as well as the MRAD MK 22 — the world’s most accurate multi-caliber sniper rifle,” said Bryan James, Barrett CEO. “These weapon systems are now supporting the U.S. and more than 80 allied nations around the world. With our focus now on the U.S. Army’s PGS initiative, we are committed to delivering another game changing advantage: a system with Programmable Air Bursting counter defilade and Counter-UAS capabilities designed to keep our troops safe and ensure mission success.”

The xTech program was an incredible demonstration of the strength and capabilities of the Barrett team to collaborate with like minded companies to achieve what many thought unachievable in the given time frame. As part of that journey, Barrett worked closely with small business innovator MARS Inc to bring their technology to life, AMTEC Corp to develop an entirely new family of 30mm shoulder fired munitions, and Precision Targeting to provide a fire control system customized for the AMTEC ammunition. This new ammunition family will have the full spectrum of capabilities required to achieve the US Army’s mission to provide over match on the modern battlefield. This includes, Programmable Air Bursting High Explosive (HE), Proximity Fuzed and Point Detonating HE, as well as a Close Quarter Battle Round.

“This award highlights not only our technical capabilities, but the power of partnership, agility, and a shared mission,” said Ryan Krantz, Barrett Vice President of Business Development & Sales. “We’re proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S. Army to deliver the next leap forward in soldier lethality.”

Barrett and MARS Inc. put their xTech Precision Grenadier System prototype to the test in a live fire event.

KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (05.06.2025)

UF PRO, part of Mehler Systems and a leading provider of advanced tactical clothing, has introduced the Waist/Flex Belt—a new accessory engineered to work seamlessly with the brand’s compatible pants.

Designed with end-user comfort and operational practicality in mind, the Waist/Flex Belt enhances overallfit, stability, and compatibility with holsters and over-belts.

The Waist/Flex Belt securely holds UF PRO pants in place while allowing for flexible movement and breathability in the lower back area. Its soft, flat buckle and side reinforcements make it well-suited for users who require reliable gear integration without unnecessary bulk or discomfort.

Compatible exclusively with select UF PRO pants—such as the P-40 Urban Gen.2 Pants, P-40 Blu-Flex Jeans, P-40 Ranger Shorts, Striker X Gen.2 Combat Pants, and Striker TT Combat Pants—the Waist/Flex Belt ensures a tailored fit through UF PRO’s Waist/Flex system. The design supports long-wear use and adaptability in high-mobility scenarios.

HGU-56/P – The Helmet You Know and Trust, Now Better Than Ever

Wednesday, June 4th, 2025

The Gentex HGU-56/P Rotary Wing Helmet System has long been the trusted choice for rotary wing aircrew across U.S. and with allied forces. Originally developed to support the U.S. Army Air Soldier Program, it was engineered to reduce weight and bulk while maintaining industry-leading impact protection,allowing aircrew to stay protected during extended missions.

Now this battle-proven platform is better than ever. With the addition of the new SideKick™ ARC Rails and LockDown™ Liner Kit, the HGU-56/P receives a smart, user-driven refresh that enhances comfort, capability, and mission performance without changing the platform that aircrew already know and rely on.

SideKick™ ARC Rails

Built on the Ops-Core® developed ARC (Accessory Rail Connection) geometry, SideKick ARC Rails give crews a low-profile, breakaway-compatible mounting solution for accessories. Mounting closer to the helmet’s center of gravity improves weight distribution and reduces fatigue, while providing valuable rail real estate for lights, strobes, and more — all while maintaining crash safety and backward compatibility with most HGU-56/P variants.
