Israel
Military Industry IIMI) is
developing an extended range, modular, artillery projectile (ERMAP) that will
be able to reach distances of up to 80 km without increasing the firing
pressures in the barrel. The developers are planning to achieve this effect by deploying aerodynamic surfaces
and autonomous guidance, based on Global Satellite Positioning (GPS) inside
the projectile. The new ammunition is
designed to hit target at such range, with accuracy of 30 CEP, good enough
for effective attack by scatterable munitions or smart submunitions. |
