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.
155 mm (6.1 in) is a NATO-standard artillery shell caliber that is used in many field guns, howitzers, and gun-howitzers. It is defined in AOP-29 part 1 with reference to STANAG 4425. Land warfare

The RCH 155 Module takes the firepower and the range of the PzH 2000 by using its gun (155 mm L/52), and combines it with an automated and remotely controlled gun module.
The DARPA EXACTO program uses different methods from Sandia's guided round. It relies on remote-guidance tied to the optics, which may be more reliable than Sandia's laser guidance method of painting the target with a laser for their projectile to follow, which can be detected, diffused, or blocked. EXACTO models on existing .50 BMG ammunition ...
Cannon-launched guided projectiles (CLGP) are precision-guided munitions launched by howitzers, mortars, tank guns, and naval guns.Those projectile main propulsion system is the initial kinetic shoot, directed as much as possible toward the target.
It has a cannon that can fire 155mm L/39 calibre shells with an elevation angle from -3° up to 72° with a traverse limit of 22°. The hydro-pneumatic suspension allows for quick deployment of around 3 minutes and packing in 2 minutes. AH4 has an initial rate of fire up to 5 rounds per minute, and with continuous firing at 2 rounds per minute.
