摘要

BAE Systems has received a $33 million deal from the Army to continue developing its Long Range Precision Guidance Kit (LR-PGK) for 155mm artillery shells, the company said Tuesday. LR-PGK is expected to support future munitions for the Army's Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) program to enable precision strike capabilities in contested electromagnetic environments. "We're helping the Army meet its precision strike objectives with this critical long range artillery capability," John Watkins, BAE Systems' vice president of precision strike, said in a statement. "Our experience in precision guidance, rugged electronics, and artillery platforms has helped us develop a kit that improves mission effectiveness."
