Marines and soldiers will no longer need to use \u201cKentucky windage\u201d to put 40 mm grenades on target if the two branches field Raytheon\u2019s laser guided <\/a>Pike munition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new 40 mm round is guided by semi-active laser designators, meaning the munition will home in on a target that has been lased and destroy it with precision, according to Townsend Blanchard, a senior manager with Raytheon\u2019s land warfare systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pike is an anti-personnel and anti-light skinned vehicle precision munition that boasts an extended range of nearly 2 km \u2014 far surpassing the roughly 300\u2013400 meter range of standard unguided 40 mm grenades, Blanchard told Marine Corps Times. The round also has counter-defilade capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to bring that precision lethality down to the lowest level, which is the squad,\u201d Blanchard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laser guided grenade can be fired from the Corps\u2019 new M320 grenade launcher and the Vietnam War era M79 launcher, commonly known as the \u201cbloop gun\u201d and still seen in use by the U.S. military today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raytheon\u2019s Pike has been in the works since 2014, but Blanchard says the laser guided round has new potential as the U.S. military seeks \u201covermatch\u201d against rising near-peer competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Corps and the Army have been seeking to increase the range<\/a> of a number of systems from missiles, artillery, mortars and small arms as U.S. forces face a looming world power competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of having to fight face to face with the enemy, let\u2019s figure out how we fight the enemy before they get into range with us,\u201d Blanchard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The counter-defilade capability of the Pike could be of interest to the Corps as it trades in its old M203 grenade launchers for the M320.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Navy budget <\/a>documents, the Corps says the M320 \u201cwill allow for the use of more capable 40 mm grenades for counter-defilade, breaching and non-lethal applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Corps wants to sink nearly $6.6 million in fiscal year 2020 for 6,307 M320 grenade launchers, according to its recent budget request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
