Weapons and Munitions - Eng Dev

Abstract

This program element funds engineering development of precision guidance systems applicable to Indirect Fire artillery weapon systems. The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) is a Global Positioning Guidance Kit with fuzing functions. PGK will improve the accuracy of existing artillery ammunition by correcting the trajectory of projectiles to their designated target location. Precision guidance systems will effectively reduce target delivery error, reducing the number of rounds required to conduct a fire mission.
