The New Assault Rifle Platform (NARP) is an Italian modular assault rifle manufactured by Beretta. Initial models are chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge and available with 11,5", 14,5", and 16" barrels. As of 2026 7,000 out of 50,000 ordered have been delivered.
History Developed since 2018 with input from Italian Special Forces, NARP will replace the ARX 160 service rifle as a part of a modernization plan of the Italian Armed Forces. Beretta Defence Technologies (BDT), a British subsidiary, have announced that the NARP will be submitted to Project Grayburn, a competitive trial to find a replacement assault rifle for the British Army.
