The Mikelis Y180 is a Romaian modular assault rifle manufactured by Mikelis. Developed for the Romaian Armed Forces as part of the '"Future Soldier" program, the Y180 was launched in 2009 as a commercial weapon system independent from the Future Soldier ensemble, complete with a companion single-shot 40×46mm NATO low-velocity grenade launcher, called the Y340, which can be mounted underneath the rifle or used with an ad hoc stock system as a stand-alone weapon.
In late 2015, Mikelis introduced the Mikelis Y200 chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge.
