The Spall and Maryak approach applies when the shot data represent a mixture of different projectile characteristics (e.g., shots from multiple munitions types or from multiple locations directed at one target).
The M1156 Precision Guidance Kit (PGK), formerly XM1156, is a U.S. Army-designed precision guidance system to turn existing 155 mm artillery shells into smart weapons. [2] ...
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 name Ugroza (sometimes transliterated Ugrosa), have been first used for the company's semi-active laser-guided projectile (SAL-GP) for the 122 mm BM-21 Grad series of multiple rocket launchers (it did not enter production and have been shelved [2] as of 2010).
It carries a larger payload than the aging M549 Extended Range Projectile or ERP, which is the previous boosted round the M1128 is designed to replace. [1] The M1128's range of 30 kilometres (19 mi) far exceeds conventional (non-boosted) artillery rounds such as the M107 projectile which has a 17 kilometres (11 mi) range. [citation needed]
The Germans were first to introduce PGMs in combat, with KG 100 deploying the 3,100 lb (1,400 kg) MCLOS-guidance Fritz X armored glide bomb, guided by the Kehl-Straßburg radio guidance system, to successfully attack the Italian battleship Roma in 1943, [20] and the similarly Kehl-Straßburg MCLOS-guided Henschel Hs 293 rocket-boosted glide bomb (also in use since 1943, but only against ...
Iran is sending more missiles to Russia, but their accuracy may be vastly overstated. But ammo is ammo, and Russian missiles are similarly flawed.
The Advanced Gun Weapon System Technology Program (AGWSTP) evaluated a similar projectile with longer range in the 1980s. [6] After the last battleship, the USS Missouri (BB-63) , was decommissioned on 31 March 1992, the AGWSTP became a 127 mm (5-inch) gun with an intended range of 180 km (110 mi), which then led to the Vertical Gun for ...
