According to the US military official website, 200 officers and soldiers of the 101st airborne division in the United States tested the "next -generation team weapon (NGSW)" in Campbell, Kentucky.
The officers and soldiers participating in the test are from the 506th Infantry Corps 1 Battalion A and B, the test time is two months, the project name isCombat Evaluation (OA), including a series of arms configuration, fighting combat and static solid bomb shooting.According to Elbert L. Grayson, an analyst of the Motor Testing Planning Plan of the U.S. Army Battle Testing Command, this is a key step in the modern combat troops. It conducted a comprehensive test before these weapons and equipment of 120,000 U.S. forces.
Grayson said: "The Army needs to be continuously developed to deal with the threat of the opponent. It needs feedback information to improve the NGSW, which will make the United States the United StatesThe most precious resources -our soldiers benefit.
The U.S. military plans to use NGSW to replace M4 Cabers and M249 machine guns, representing major progress of firepower, effective range and shooting accuracy.
506 Infantry Corps, John M. Green, said: "After learning the ability of 6.8mm ammunition, I believe it can easily use one or two rounds of ammunition easily.Complete the task of two to four rounds of 5.56mm ammunition.Valuable suggestions to ensure that future combatants get the best equipment at the most critical time.
The 506 Infantry Regiment 1 Battalion A Company 1 Air Team Captain Todd Smallwood said: "Real combat training is very exciting, very close to actual combat, and trains with real people. Not onlyIt is just a target that cant move. In fact, it is a very good training subject with another army that determines the plan and the target.
According to Grayson, the NGSW test is performed under the strictest conditions to simulate the real combat situation and ensure that the weapon can meet the needs of future operations.
Smallwood said: "We have always operated the XM7 rifle in the NGSW plan, the XM250 shift machine gun, and the supporting XM157 sights.Tests of targets and hidden targets try to simulate the target of level attack.Simten to fighting.
Smallwood said: "6.8mm bullets can penetrate the bunker and kill the enemies hidden behind, I think it will play a huge role in the city and forest environment."
The challenges faced by U.S. soldiers are the goals of performing personal mobile tactics (IMT) and attacking 300 meters away.This IMT route requires soldiers to jump, creeping, and leap forward, while maintaining accurate shooting capabilities to ensure that weapons play their role reliably under difficult conditions.
They must complete the courses under the pressure of simulated combat and break through their body and spiritual limit.
506 Infantry Corps 1 Battalion A Lian Barron C. Garrard first sergeant said: "We have performed 72 hours of strong confrontation (FOF) and urban rifle shooting (URM) (URM)In the end, we will conduct pressure shooting training.Preparation, U.S. soldiers also tested NGSW in simulated chemistry, biology, radiation and nuclear (CBRN) environments.
Grayson said: "I like this fact, that is, the test of the device may affect the next generation of soldiers using it. MineHis son is a soldier. He may use the equipment I participated in the test, so I have the motivation to provide the most accurate data for the armys leadership to make the most wise procurement decision.10->
Evaluate key items ensure that the weapon system can run reliable even in a nuclear and biochemical environment.
Troy Willey, the head of MTD test: "The advanced performance and comprehensive training plan of NGSW will greatly improve the lethality and survivability of our troops.And make sure they prepare for future combat operations, 6.8mm ammunition has excellent ballistic performance, NGSW generally represents a major leap in lethality.= "34srarua"> Willey said: "I am honored to be part of the army during this change. It is definitely an honor to work with soldiers assigned to the NGSW system during the evaluation period."
