Think about a Counter Defilade Target Engagement system (CDTE).
Sounds boring? All right, think again. Because that system is actually the most
technologically advanced weapon currently available on the XM25 CDTE is a
culmination of decades of engineering forged into an in credibly powerful tool
that can change any warzone it is fielded in. It’s a handheld semi-automatic grenade
launcher that can propel a wide variety of munitions up to 700 meters (2,300
feet) and cause massive damage against any imaginable targets. Are you yet to excite?
Well, this handheld grenade launcher can not only directly fire explosive
rounds, but also program each wirelessly, and on the fly, to explode at a set
distance or a set time, to ensure it never misses its target. Sounds a little
more impressive now, doesn’t it? Indeed this weapon truly is a ‘system’ rather
than a mere gun. It’s each unit equipped with an in-built ballistic computer,
digital compass, fuse setter, environmental sensor array, and laser range
finder, 4 x thermal sight with digital zoom and XM 104 target acquisition and
fire control chipset. All this is packed into a rifle that weighs less than 6.4
kilograms (14.1 pounds) - that’s the equivalent of three bags of sugar. Combine
these components and you are ready to stir up a whole gun boat load of trouble
for enemy forces.
Are you facing troops dug in deep, sheltering behind reinforced
cover or hiding within the ground? That’s no challenge for the XM-25- simply
laser the position with the Punisher’s rangefinder, aim and watch a programmed
round loop with pinpoint accuracy over the obstacle and then explode at the
optimum moment in a devastating air bust. Are you afraid of Armored Personnel Carrier?
No problem, because if you select the XM25’s armor-piercing ordnance, you have
a weapon that can penetrate the APC’s hull with ease.
The versatility of the XM25CDTE is on a whole different level
to any other weapon ever engineered.
