    The document summarizes the 25mm Anti-Material Payload Rifle (AMPR-XM109) program. It discusses the program's goals of providing a rifle capable of defeating light armor and materiel targets out to 2000 meters using a 25mm caliber. It provides specifications for the XM109 prototype and compares it to the baseline .50 caliber M107 system. The schedule for user assessments and limited safety releases is outlined. Battelle study results show the XM109 requires fewer rounds than the M107 to defeat certain targets.
