Advanced Gun System Projectile
Abstract
The Advanced Gun System (AGS) projectile will provide affordable Naval Surface Fires support for DDG 1000 class destroyers from the MK 51 Gun Weapon System (commonly referred to as AGS). Initiation of a demonstration and development planning for an affordable round was directed by Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Research, Development, and Acquisition to address the unaffordability of the Long Range Land Attack Projectile, which was the original 155mm munition developed for the MK 51 GWS. The development effort focuses on integration of an affordable 155mm guided projectile in the MK 51 GWS and includes modifications to address initialization, dimensional, gun launch, and automated handling interface differences. Components affected by the integration of an affordable 155mm guided projectile include the guided projectile, the propelling charge, the MK 51 Gun Weapon System, and the Total Ship Computing Environment. The program is funded under PE 0204202N DDG 1000 in FY 2017. A round selection is planned for August 2017 where initial performance characteristics will be determined and subsequently matured through FY 2019. The capability is planned for Initial Operational Capability in 4QFY2021.
