Counter-Defilade Target Engagement - SDD
Abstract
The Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE), FT Benning, GA (User Community) identifies the Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) as a critical capability gap for our Soldiers in combat. The number one materiel solution to mitigate the critical capability gap (defeating defilade targets from 15-500m) is the XM25 Individual Semi-Automatic Airburst System (ISAAS). The XM25 ISAAS provides the Infantry Soldier with a leap-ahead overmatch capability that dramatically increases lethality, range, and capability through the use of a family of low-velocity programmable 25mm ammunition and allows the Soldier to engage defilade targets with a high degree of accuracy while posing minimal burden, in terms of weight and size. The XM25 ISAAS fires 25mm munitions including high-explosive airburst (HEAB), armor-piercing, breaching, less-than-lethal, and training rounds. The XM25 comes with a target acquisition/fire control that integrates thermal capability with direct-view optics, laser rangefinder, compass, fuze setter, ballistic computer, laser pointer and illuminator and internal display. The XM25 has a 500-meter point target range and a 700-meter area target range capable of defeating defilade (hidden) targets.
