ATK - XM-25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) Rifle [480p]

The U.S. Army is moving forward with an operational evaluation in Afghanistan, of the new, XM-25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) weapon system. Following this current evaluation, the Army will decide on the future procurement of 12,500 CDTE systems to be issued beginning in early 2014.

Under the recent evaluation, several XM-25 prototypes arrived in Afghanistan in Nov 2010. These weapons are being carried actively on patrols, and in various combat outposts. The next phase for the XM-25 program is to build a large quantity of production representative weapons and ammunition in 2011 to deploy into Afghanistan for further combat assessments. Under the planned procurement, the new weapons will be issued to Special Forces team and to infantry squads, to receive one XM-25 each.

Parallel to the development of the weapon system, ATK is also developing a new family of ammunition. L3 Communications is the subcontractor in charge of the weapon's optronic fire control system.

@PBennettProductions I was thinking the same thing... And now say hi to Auntie, Auntie Personnel, she sure is cute, but don't be fooled by her looks, Auntie will put a hole the size of a softball right through you from 500 meters then explode killing all your comrades too...

@979TOXICJORDAN I didn't know about this weapon until MW3. I wanted to see what it exactly was, and apparently MW3 is doing it wrong.

I love how the video calls the ammo a family to make it seem nice and harmless

This weapon system is a stepping stone to something more refined in my opinion.

I'm seeing a trend. We turn dumb bombs into smart bombs with the addition of chips and fins. Now we're adding intelligence to smaller munitions with the addition of chips that link up with fuses.

How durable is the weapon with all of these electronics? How expensive are these rounds?
