Artillery Munitions - EMD
Abstract
Excalibur is a Precision Guided Extended Range 155mm Artillery projectile providing Brigade Combat Teams an organic precision fires capability. Additionally it provides improved fire support capability due to its increased range of 40.5 kilometers and demonstrated accuracy of < 3 meters radial miss distances, which enables a first round effect on target reducing the number of rounds required while reducing collateral damage. Excalibur is compatible with the M777A2 Lightweight 155mm Howitzer (LW155), M109A6 Paladin Howitzer, M109A7 Paladin PIM Howitzer and Sweden's Archer Howitzer. Excalibur provides a 35% range increase over current Rocket Assisted Projectiles, with a < 10 meter accuracy circular error probable at all ranges. Excalibur is also highly resistant to Global Positioning System (GPS) jamming. Excalibur is an international program, teamed with the Kingdom of Sweden (KoS), who contributed resources towards the development and have procured rounds in accordance with an established Project Agreement for use in their Archer Howitzer. Increment Ib completed a successful Initial Operational Test and Evaluation in February 2014 as well as a Full Rate Production Decision Review in June 2014.
