Precision Guidance Kit
Abstract
The Long Range-Precision Guidance Kit (LR-PGK) development effort will qualify state of the art technologies for a course correcting fuze that provides precision accuracy at extended ranges for current and future 155 millimeter (mm) High Explosive (HE) projectiles by eliminating a portion of the inherent errors associated with ballistic firing solutions, which effectively reduces the number of projectiles required to execute fire missions. LR-PGK will support projectile operation in Global Positioning System (GPS) degraded environments and compatibility with Army Modernization objectives under the Long Range Precision Fires Cross Functional Team's (LRPF CFT) new long range cannon, Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) Self-Propelled Howitzer (SPH). The ERCA and its new long range projectiles require the LR-PGK to meet lethality requirements. Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 funding will continue to support the fabrication of LR-PGK hardware, safety and development testing, and accomplishes a Preliminary Design Review (PDR).
