NGSW Machine Gun with Fire Control
Mission
The NGSW program significantly increases lethality and probability of hit at the squad level. Due to the nature of the NGSW ammunition, the 6.8mm projectile will outperform even the most modern 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammunition. These weapon systems will give Soldiers significant capability improvements in accuracy, range, signature management, and lethality.
