Preparation for the exchange of carbines M4 began in 2008. A good weapon should be found in the framework of the competition the Individual Carbine, which ran in 2011.
Shortlisted progressed ultimately eight weapons: the FN FNAC, the Heckler & Koch HK416A5, a modified variant of the Remington ACR, the Adcor Defense BEAR Elite, the Beretta ARX-160, Colt CM901, CQB 16 and a Troy Defense 5.56 Carbine.
None of the weapons, however, did not bring significant enough improvement over the M4, which would offset the financial costs on the introduction of new weapons into the u.s. army.
