Excalibur Precison Guided Munition

Uncommon COTS, Battlefield ready!

When the 40 ton, 40 billion dollar crusader project was canceled, where was the Army going to get its precision artillery? From smart extensions to the old-standby, the 155 mm Howitzer. By making shells smart that can be made accurate. Applied Data Systems provides systems for Excalibur, a project of the Army Research Labs.

Excalibur Precision Guided Munition

Under contract to the U.S. Army, Raytheon is developing the Excalibur — the world’s first artillery projectile to be guided by a global positioning system (GPS). Excalibur is a 155 mm artillery round with the accuracy to destroy targets in first-round fire from ranges up to 30 miles.

While the ADS system does not actually ride on the shell, it does go into the field with the gun.

We can build them tough. See our CALCE certification process.
