By next year, the Army expects to field its first true replacement for the squad rifle and automatic rifle in a brand-new caliber.

The Next Generation Squad Weapon rifle and automatic rifle variants, chambered in 6.8 mm, mark the first substantial change to U.S. military small arms since the adoption of the M16 in 1964.
