Northrop Grumman and Barrett Firearms entered a teaming agreement for Barrett to produce the weapon of the Precision Grenadier System, a shoulder-fired 25 mm grenade launcher, with Northrop Grumman leading prototyping and 25 mm ammunition work and Barrett integrating the inductive setter at its Nashville, Tennessee facility. The agreement, signed by Barrett CEO Bryan James and Northrop Grumman Weapon Systems Division Vice President Jenna Paukstis, aims to field the system faster for domestic and international customers.

The Precision Grenadier System equips infantry squads to defeat covered targets, fight in close quarters, and engage small unmanned aircraft using programmable airburst, proximity, buckshot, and practice ammunition that Northrop Grumman can make on existing automated lines.
