9:25 MAKING EVERY ROUND COUNT- ADVANCES IN GUIDANCE, FUZING AND MANUFACTURING FOR ARTILLERY

  • Artillery's Dominance: Artillery has become the dominant weapon on the Ukrainian battlefield, and 155mm/52cal guns are emerging as the preferred weapon platform.
  • Challenges to Overcome: But as range increases, so doe the dispersion between rounds; and ammunition consumption and resupply have become critical issues for western forces, limiting sustained operations.
  • Technological Solutions: Northrop Grumman’s Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) and advanced fuzes like MOFA-2 enhance lethality while reducing ammunition consumption. Advanced manufacturing technology for the US Navy 5-inch gun can increase capacity and replenish depleted artillery stocks.
