FN Herstal is coordinating an industrial research project called “M4 Multigauge Mechatronic Machine Gun.”
This research project is innovative and unique due to the combination of technologies and disciplines considered in the type of application. A number of deliverables are expected, for instance:
• a new weapons development methodology that includes new technologies;
• new modeling and multiphysics simulation tools;
• the exploration and validation of new concepts; and
• scale models for experimental validation of all the concepts that
are covered.
The products that are developed from this project’s outcomes will increase FN Herstal’s global market share and employment in Wallonia and Belgium.
