Production will be American, I'm not sure where the design would come from but either way, SIG is still a Swiss company.
5.56mm has some issues. I think this new cartridge is a good step in the right direction. Although it does kind of ruin the idea of NATO interoperability, for a long while anyway.
Most NATO and Western countries have recently adopted new rifles that are still in 5.56mm(most seem to be adopting the HK417) so I don't see them jumping to a new rifle in a new calibre for a while. The US will have the edge in small arms over everybody for a while now, although the Turks adopted a new rifle a few years ago and that is still in 7.62mm.
