POTD: The NGSW – Rifle, XM7, and The NGSW – Automatic Rifle, XM250

Photo Of The Day and we take a look at some of the most modern hand-held firearms and gear available today. The location is Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), which is a major United States Army installation located in Harford County, Maryland, near the town of Aberdeen. Established in 1917, it serves as one of the Army’s oldest active proving grounds, with a primary mission focused on the research, development, testing, and evaluation of weapons, equipment, and technology.

Here’s what PEO Soldier wrote:

“During his most recent visit to Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael R. Weimer was able to get a hands-on demonstration of PEO Soldier’s portfolio. This included the Modular Scalable Vest (MSV), the Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS), and the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW), along with an array of other weapons. The NGSW – Rifle, XM7, and the NGSW – Automatic Rifle, XM250, are part of a larger effort from across PEO Soldier to modernize the Army and equip Soldiers with the best tools possible to properly execute their missions.Sgt. Maj. Of the Army Weimer stands at the forefront of this Force Modernization as he leads the Army into the future and maintains a lethal fighting force as the world and technologies continue to advance”
