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. The effort focuses on integration of an affordable 155mm guided projectile in the MK 51 GWS. Several options were assessed in FY17 and determined to be unaffordable; additional studies are planned to assess longer term options or options not previously considered to identify potential candidates for projectile replacement. The program was funded under PE 0204202N DDG 1000 in FY 2017.
