A XM1113 extended range artillery round, shown here at a range demonstration, uses a rocket-assist motor. The M1299 was armed with a new 155 mm L/58 caliber long, 9.1 m gun tube, XM907 gun, designed by Benét Laboratories to fire the XM1113 rocket-assisted round. This would give a range of over 70 km (43 mi) – much greater than the 38 km (24 ...
The M982 Excalibur (previously XM982) is a 155 mm extended-range guided artillery shell developed in a collaborative effort between the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the United States Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC). [5]
The Hypervelocity Projectile (HVP) is an experimental hypervelocity projectile with ranges as great as 94 km (58 mi). United States: LRLAP: 2010-2016 (limited) The Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP) was an INS and GPS guided, rocket-assisted naval projectile with extended glide capability that was developed for use from the Advanced Gun ...
XM1113 extended range artillery round, shown here at a range demonstration, uses a rocket-assist motor. The U.S. Army is developing the XM1113 rocket-assisted projectile to replace the M549A1 shell. The XM1113 increases range from 30 to 40 km (19 to 25 mi) from a 39-caliber barrel using a large high-performance rocket motor delivering nearly ...
M712 Copperhead approaches an old M47 Patton tank used as a target M712 detonating. The M712 Copperhead is a 155 mm caliber cannon-launched guided projectile.It is a fin-stabilized, terminally laser guided, explosive shell intended to engage hard point targets such as tanks, self-propelled howitzers or other high-value targets.
The Battery Computer System (BCS) AN/GYK-29 was a computer used by the United States Army for computing artillery fire mission data. It replaced the FADAC and was small enough to fit into the HMMWV combat vehicle. The AN/GSG-10 TACFIRE (Tactical Fire) direction system automated field artillery command and control functions. [8]
The US has been sending Ukraine M982 Excalibur shells, which have GPS guidance and a 25-mile range. While Excalibur and other precision-guided artillery rounds are highly accurate, they aren't cheap.
The path of this projectile launched from a height y 0 has a range d. In physics, a projectile launched with specific initial conditions will have a range. It may be more predictable assuming a flat Earth with a uniform gravity field, and no air resistance. The horizontal ranges of a projectile are equal for two complementary angles of ...
