Precision Guidance Kit

Abstract

This program funds engineering development of precision guidance systems applicable to Indirect Fire artillery weapon systems. The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) is a Global Positioning System guidance kit with fuzing functions. PGK provides near precision accuracy and effectiveness for 155mm High Explosive artillery projectiles. PGK improves the accuracy of existing artillery ammunition by correcting the trajectory of projectiles to their designated target location. Precision guidance systems effectively reduce target delivery error reducing the number of rounds required to conduct a fire mission. On-going development addresses performance in jammed environments as well as the implementation of an M-Code capable GPS receiver.
