Excalibur Precision 155mm Projectiles (Excalibur)
Abstract
Excalibur Precision 155-mm Projectiles (Excalibur) provide Brigade Combat Teams an organic precision fires capability. Additionally, it provides improved fire support capability due to its increased range of 40.5-kilometers (km) and demonstrated accuracy of less than three meters radial miss distances, which enables a first round effect on target reducing the number of rounds required and reducing collateral damage. Excalibur is compatible with the M777A2 Lightweight 155-mm Howitzer,the M109A6 Paladin Howitzer, the M109A7 Paladin Integrated Management Howitzer, and the Swedish Archer Howitzer. Excalibur provides a 35 percent range increase over current Rocket Assisted Projectiles with less than ten-meter circular error probable requirement at all ranges. Excalibur is also highly resistant to Global Positioning System jamming.
