Do you want to design a new GPC, or a new system?
Is your only parameter a smaller case to outperform the 7.62 NATO? A cartridge that is essentially 60 years old? In what ways? Penetration? Range? BC? Felt recoil?
I'm not trying to be a killjoy. I also understand from reading your posts you really know your stuff... BUT... if you are truly going after something to seriously change the DoD's mind about the 5.56, you need to come out with something a lot more significant than outperforming a cartridge that has been around almost as long as the television.
