ATK was awarded a $65.8m EMD contract earlier in 2011 to provide design, integration, production and testing of full-up systems to ensure the weapon’s readiness prior to fielding.
The XM25 ISAAS is a semi-automatic, man-portable weapon system enabling the soldier to engage defilade targets by providing a 25mm airbursting capability in all operational environments.
The army has completed forward operational assessment (FOA) of the XM25 in Afghanistan and provided feedback for making further engineering refinements and improvements in the weapon system.
