XM307 Advanced Crew-Served Weapon (ACSW) 25mm system will replace current crew-served weapons such as the M-19 Mk3 40 mm grenade launcher, and heavy M2 0.5" machine guns in US Army. ACWS is developed as the next-generation mounted and dismounted machine gun that will provide accurate long-range firepower, including air-bursting munitions, in a lightweight system package.

The new weapon and family of 25mm ammunition will increase firepower effectiveness by extending stand-off range, enabling the defeat of defilade targets, providing day and night capability and reducing combat load. The lightweight, two-man portable, crew-served weapon system will fire new family of lightweight 25-mm high-explosive ammunition including HE, HEAT and thermobaric grenades.

Individual Airburst Weapon System is currently under development and intended to address the capability gap of defeating defilade targets. The weapon has the capability to hit point targets at a distance of 500 meters and area targets at 700 meters. 25mm munitions currently in development include High Explosive Air-Burst (HEAB), armor piercing, door breaching, anti-personnel, and two types of non-lethal munitions – blunt and agent dispersing airburst
