What is ACSW?
ACSW Program Started in 1994
Lightweight, Crew Portable
Weapon System
25mm Family of Ammunition
250 SPM
Full Ballistic Solution
Programmable Ammunition
with Muzzle Velocity Correction
TA/FCS Laser Range Finder &
Target Tracking

Ordnance and Tactical Systems
ACSW Family:XM307, XM307K50 (XM312)
.50 cal variant of the ACSW Part interchangeability with
XM307, only 5 parts are different
First demonstrated January 7, 2003
Performance & physical characteristics exceed other crew-type .50 cal weapons
Development of XM307K50 (XM312) will accelerate ACSW maturity
Fires standard .50 cal ammunition with M15A2 links

Ordnance and Tactical Systems
Recovery from Disabled Vehicle
Lightweight capability enables the gunner to remove the weapons system from the destroyed vehicle, thus maintaining the combat power of the convoy

Ordnance and Tactical Systems
Dismounted Overwatch
The dismounted ACSW provides additional security via a wider and better field of view than vehicle mounted
Employment in the 2nd floor is less time consuming and requires less physical effort than dismounting the MK19 or M2
Movement from primary to secondary positions is significantly quicker than with the M2 or MK19 because of the weight
ACSW tripod does not require sandbags because of low recoil
May 11, 2004 17
Ordnance and Tactical Systems
Action on the Landing Zone
Reduced weight enables the gunner to mount the ACSW by himself and in less time, allowing more soldiers to perform security
This reduces the time available to the enemy to prepare for a counterattack, thus increasing combat effectivenessScene 1 Scene 2 Scene 3

Fast Roping the ACSW
The lightweight ACSW permits the establishment of a blocking position with a heavy caliber or grenade machinegun
The capability to fast rope allows a dramatic increase in dismounted blocking position firepower
Low system weight allows team to move weapon on ground as needed
