XM982 PROJECTILE
Abstract
Excalibur provides improved fire support through a Precision Guided Extended Range family of munitions with greatly increased accuracy and significantly reduces collateral damage in most urban environments. The Excalibur is interoperable with the M777A2 Lightweight 155mm howitzer (LW155), and the M109A6 (Paladin) howitzer. Excalibur will provide a 33% range increase over current Rocket Assisted Projectiles, with a 10 meter accuracy (Circular Error Probable) at all ranges. Excalibur is an international program, teamed with the Kingdom of Sweden (KoS), who contributes resources towards the development in accordance with an established Project Agreement. The Excalibur program is using an incremental development approach to provide a combat capability to the Soldier as quickly as possible, and to deliver advanced capabilities at lower costs as technology matures. Increment Ia-1 has been fielded to units in Iraq and Afghanistan in response to urgent need requests in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (as of September 2010 re-named to Operation New Dawn) and Operation Enduring Freedom. Production deliveries continue to support the Warfighters. Increment Ia-2 will be delivered in FY11 and will greatly increase range to LW155 and Paladin. Increment Ib will provide further performance improvements while significantly lowering unit costs.
