Lightweight Small Arms Technology (LSAT)

Lightweight Small Arms Technology (LSAT) refers to advanced weapons research aimed at creating lighter, more effective firearms for military use. This initiative focuses on developing new materials and designs, such as polymer cases and telescoping ammunition, to reduce weight without compromising firepower. The goal is to enhance soldier mobility and reduce fatigue by replacing traditional metal cartridge cases with lighter alternatives. By improving the overall performance and efficiency of small arms, LSAT aims to provide military personnel with superior tools for combat while maintaining safety and reliability on the battlefield.
