Textron Systems Delivers XM204 Top Attack Anti-vehicle Munitions To U.S. Army Under LRIP Contract
Top Attack, Anti-Vehicle Terrain Shaping System Supports Counter-Mobility Missions
Wilmington, Mass., Sept., 22, 2025 – Textron Systems Corporation, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today that it delivered the XM204 Top Attack Munition, an anti-vehicle terrain shaping system, to the U.S. Army to support U.S. Army Europe operations. The delivery occurred under the current XM204 low-rate initial production (LRIP) contract. The XM204 program is managed by Joint Program Executive Officer Armaments & Ammunition (JPEO A&A), Project Manager Close Combat Systems (PM CCS), and Project Manager Terrain Shaping Obstacles (PdM TSO).
The delivery follows successful completion of U.S. Army-led First Article testing in April 2025, which certified the system for delivery to the Army and its allies. The certification included rigorous testing to verify the XM204’s target engagement and self-destruct technologies. With the certification complete, Textron Systems stands ready to fulfill orders for both the U.S. Army and its allies in need of counter-mobility capability.
The XM204 is an anti-vehicle munition with standoff and top attack capabilities designed to support terrain shaping operations by supporting a number of counter mobility tasks such as blocking, disrupting and turning an enemy force. The XM204 can be rapidly emplaced and is highly portable; the system can be employed alone, in multiples or in tandem with other terrain shaping systems.
“The XM204 is the only system available of its kind providing autonomous terrain shaping capabilities,” said Henry Finneral, Senior Vice President, Weapon Systems. “Counter-mobility missions are critical to the Army’s terrain shaping and forces protection objectives, and the XM204 will provide unmatched capability to U.S. forces and allies.”
“The successful delivery of the XM204 is a testament to the power of collaboration and the need to modernize our terrain shaping capabilities. This achievement is a critical step forward in ensuring our forces maintain a decisive operational advantage on the battlefield,” said Colonel Vinson Morris, PM CCS Project Manager.
The system fulfills a critical requirement to increase the capability of terrain shaping obstacles as the military prepares to counter peer adversaries.
