Precision Guidance Kit
Abstract
The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) Project supports development efforts that 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. The precision course correcting fuze will support projectile operation in Global Positioning System (GPS) degraded environments in support of the Army's Cannon Modernization Strategy. All 39-caliber weapon systems and modernized Self-Propelled Howitzer (SPH) weapon systems with cannon lengths greater than or equal to 52-caliber and new long-range projectiles require the precision course correcting fuze to meet lethality requirements. FY 2025 funding will continue to support the fabrication of precision course correcting fuze hardware, safety and development testing, and further refines the Artillery fuze design.
