Advanced Gun System (AGS) on DD(X)
Abstract
These funds provide for the development of the Advanced Gun System (AGS) and the development, qualification and initial production of the Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP) associated with the development of DDG 1000. The AGS will consist of a major caliber gun, an automated ammunition handling system, and a guided projectile/propelling charge. The AGS will, at a minimum, meet the Land Attack and Surface Dominance Missions assigned to the gun system. The system will provide a high rate of fire (10 rounds per minute) with a magazine capacity of 600 rounds (total for both guns). LRLAP will be stored throughout its life cycle in an 8 round pallet which is handled by the AGS magazine. By palletizing the munition, AGS is able to significantly reduce manning and improve munition reliability, safety and resupply. System Design and Development began in FY06 with final land based qualification testing planned in FY13. The Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP) is a rocket-assisted projectile that will deliver a high explosive unitary payload with Global Positioning System (GPS) accuracy. Funding for previous years is included in PE 0604300N.
