Will Army squads get organic precision indirect fire?
The Army is giving this another chance:
Army Futures Command, or AFC, will soon decide whether weapons officials will get another shot at equipping infantry squads with a precision airburst weapon for killing enemy forces hiding behind cover.
Maneuver officials at Fort Benning, Georgia, announced in November that the Army would pursue the Precision Grenadier program to create a new weapon for launching explosive projectiles at enemies in defilade positions.
This will eventually succeed. Precision has gotten pushed down the table of organization.
Eventually this will reach the rifles the infantry carries. With implications for our infantry, as I wrote about on the USNI Blog.
