Thursday, October 3rd, 2024

The absolute best gems from the National Defense Industrial Association’s annual get-together of small arms, armaments, EOD, Fuse tech, and robotics communities are found in the back of the exhibit hall in the form of posters which are used to foster a Q&A interaction during breaks in the presentations. For the past few years, we have been fortunate enough to be allowed to share these posters with our readership.

Despite the title, this one actually pertains to a lightweight machine gun. It was developed through a CRADA with USSOCOM and demonstrated earlier this year at the ISOF Range event.

Although POC data is on the poster, AUSA attendees will be able to see it in person later this month during the annual meeting in Washington, DC in booth #4125.
