Precision Guidance Kit

Abstract

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. On going development addresses performance in GPS degraded environments as well as compatibility with the Army's new long range cannon and projectiles which will be fielded during the PGK Life Cycle.
