XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) System

There is no place to hide when the XM25 CDTE System comes to the party. This attachment for most modern assault rifles will lob airburst grenades, which, as the name suggests, will burst mid-air to devastate enemies behind cover or out of sight. The laser rangefinder feature will locate targets that are trying their best to hide. Terrorists will need to become all the cleverer if they want to engage soldiers with this ingenious grenade launcher.

The Wheel Track

The Wheel Track replaces most light to medium-sized military vehicle’s wheels, and can morph between your standard round wheel into a triangular shape in two seconds. The Carnegie Mellon University developed Wheel Track was launched by the institution’s National Robotics Engineering Center thanks to backing from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The pioneering wheel won the 2018 Popular Science “Best of What’s New” Award. As you can imagine, the Wheel Track allows military vehicles to navigate almost any environment.
