In the area of ammunition development, the Navy is somewhat more progressive in their approach than the Army. I am very familiar with their activities, and I always found the Navy small arms personnel were much easier to work with than the Army's.
That's because the navy has the major load these days when it comes to defense. They're everywhere on the planet in a ready condition. Four USN ships just hit Syria. No time to sit around trying to figure out something as simple as a rifle cartridge. If it needs a solution they just address it and move on.
