Man, don't mess this up.
Chris BarrettGUEST
The drone one? No, the XM-109, which was...
Chris BarrettGUEST
The 25? Probably the 25 millimeter.
Chris BarrettGUEST
So that was not really depending on kinetic energy.
Chris BarrettGUEST
What is public knowledge now is that Barrett has won a contract for the Precision Grenadier System.
Chris BarrettGUEST
The 30 mil? Which is a shoulder-fired, pretty light system that does this same kind of technology of, again, nothing is new.
Chris BarrettGUEST
This goes back to the OICW-OCSW program, Objective Crew-Served Weapon, where it has these air-bursting, technically it's a grenade launcher or a cannon in the case of the XM-109 because it sees a certain velocity.
Chris BarrettGUEST
But yeah, they can fire a large projectile out there and it doesn't need kinetic energy from the speed.
