The United States Army is planning for decades of hybrid wars across multiple domains — space, cyberspace, air, land, and, maritime.

Back in October, we dissected the Army’s latest Training and Doctrine Command report, which highlights the next round of hybrid wars could start somewhere around 2025 and last through 2040.

Currently, the Army is in a transitional period before the next round of wars begin. In doing so, the Army has made it clear that it will replace its legacy M249 SAW and the M4 Carbine, with a lightweight and higher chamber pressure assault rifle.

It now appears the Army has selected a new high-tech assault rifle that can release a high rate of specialty designed bullets with as much chamber pressure as an M1A2 Abrams tank, to pierce through the world’s most advanced body armor.

The LSAT (Lightweight Small Arms Technologies) light machine gun is a powerful weapon produced by the AAI Corporation, an aerospace and defense development and manufacturing firm, located in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Textron acquired AAI in 2007 and currently operates as a unit of Textron Systems Corporation.

Can't wait to get one...

 

[JimBowie1958]

Is that 6.5 or 6.56 NATO rifle?

These days you cant tell if there was a stupid decision or a stupid journo.

 

[Marion Morrison]

6.5 Creedmore?

 

[fncceo]

Actually ... when I read the title, I was kind of hoping for something along these lines ...

Or, even better ...

 

[JimBowie1958]

6.5 Creedmore?

Sounds like a low-cost universally available round.....NOT!

lol, do you know what the reference is to or are you just assuming the journo is right and accurate?

I thought NATO had decided to attempt to keep all their amo built around a common caliber, the 6.56 NATO round? But we still cant get it right?

This 6.5 round is about $1.50 each and is not being produced in the capacity we need to support our military, so some serious expansion would have to be implemented and the amateur gun enthusiasts will be pissed at not being able to get their preferred round for a while. lol

Yeah, frigi's answer to world peace is to learn to say "I surrender" in all languages.

Your complete and total lack of understanding of what I have said and think is noted.
