Guided artillery shell "Excalibur" was tested

Guided artillery shells (UAS) "Excalibur-1b" (Excalibur Ib) manufactured by Raytheon (Raytheon) passed field tests. This was reported by the press service of the company.

According to "Raytheon", in total during the test firing 84 projectile was fired. Most of the shells had a maximum deviation from the target in 2 m, which is a high figure. During the tests, the positive fighting qualities of the ammunition and its compliance with the requirements of the US Department of Defense were also noted.

Shots with the use of UAS were made from the Swedish self-propelled artillery (SAU) "Archer" (Archer) and two American howitzers - M109A6 "Paladine" (Paladine) and LW-155. In 2014, Excalibur will be tested to demonstrate its suitability for mass production.

According to the results of the shooting, it was found that the projectile surpassed its tactical and technical characteristics (TTH) in a number of indicators. The maximum target range was 50,4 km when firing from an Archer self-propelled gun. When testing the compatibility of the projectile with the American artillery systems, the range of 40,54 km was reached, which also turned out to be more than the stated characteristics of the ammunition.

The UCS Escalibur-1b version is manufactured by Raytheon and is a further development of the Escalibur-1-1 and Excalibur-1-2 ammunition. UAS caliber is 155 mm, it is aimed at the target using a satellite navigation system GPS, which ensures high accuracy of destruction.
In addition to the variant EAS "Escalibur-1", the company "Raytheon" is developing an improved navigation system for all the shells of this class.

Up to the present, 640 EAS "Excalibur" has been shot. The projectile is used to pinpoint targets of special importance. According to recent studies, the use of one ESC "Excalibur" allows you to save from 10 to 50 conventional shells.

Comments

[Skiff]

Well this is not a record, for example ...
The Denel V-LAP shell is currently considered the record holder for this parameter. In 2006, during the testing of this shell, a German-made self-propelled artillery PzH 2000 sent him 56 kilometers. The maximum firing range declared by the manufacturer with this shell is even greater - 60 km. For comparison, the firing range of the PzH 2000 self-propelled guns with a conventional projectile of the same mass with the same propellant charge does not exceed 28-30 kilometers.

According to recent studies, the use of one UAS "Excalibur" saves 10 to 50 conventional shells.
Well, a moot point, According to the calculations of American economists, even with mass production, the Excalibur shell cannot cost less than 50-55 thousand dollars.

[smel]

Such a single projectile saves time. Yes, and about saving the usual types of ammunition - this is an invention of the author. Depending on the type of target being hit (or rather, on importance, armor, cover, size, etc.), one shot can replace up to 2,5 thousand of ammunition. But even in the absence of reliable intelligence, this money can fly into the pipe. At one time, we simply rotted a sufficiently large number of such ammunition at firing positions due to the lack of information for completing tasks. And at the same time, they spent insanely big money to accomplish tasks with other types of ammunition. Unfortunately, to no avail.

[mirag2]

You see: "Due to lack of intelligence"!
And they say here that drones are rubbish and are not needed!
Isn't that a mistaken judgment?
By themselves, drones can be rubbish-free, but in conjunction with modern means of warfare, a huge benefit in everything.
Well, you see, the shells would not rot, and they would save their 2.5 thousand.
What money would remain intact (and these are new tanks and aircraft, etc.).
Is not it?

[T80UM1]

And if for example not real-time guided projectiles but real-time intelligence, for example a map of the area transmitted by the satellite in video streaming mode, the front is divided into several sections for each section of its own battery, then moving targets can also be fired. The coordinates are calculated according to the speed of movement and according to the terrain, again thanks to real time.

[Basarev]

But in general, this is all pampering. Here Peony with its atomic shells - this is the thing.

[kafa]

it's like shitting in the trunk of a VAZ 2106 and expecting that the glove compartment will not smell

Quote: Skiff

Well, a moot point, According to the calculations of American economists, even with mass production, the Excalibur shell cannot cost less than 50-55 thousand dollars.

Saving is not in the sense of paying back the cost of 50 shells, but the fact that 50 conventional shells will take to defeat the target ...

[mirag2]

Competent post-respect.
Of course, a high-precision projectile is probably more expensive than a dozen conventional ones — well, the thing is different — it will allow you to complete a combat mission from the first (second) shot.
This is important ...

V-LAP technology is used for active rockets, which Excalibur is not. You gave a not very, to put it mildly, correct example !!! This is akin to comparing the firing range with a grenade launcher and just a grenade launcher.

[PLO]

V-LAP technology is used for active rockets, which Excalibur is not.

actually the M982 Excalibur is an active missile

[Aryan]

As always, an asymmetric answer is needed:
"high priority targets" to be mobile

[skif33]

actually the M982 Excalibur is an active rocket.

in comparison with the V-DenelLAP projectile, it is conditional, since the range is provided not only due to the solid-fuel engine but also due to the plumage, and you must agree, the name sounds like this "Excalibur guided artillery projectile." And the Excalibur's firing accuracy is 2 meters. and up to 300x hundred meters of V-DenelLAP on trials in South Africa.

[PLO]

Do not confuse warm with soft

the projectile is active-reactive if it has a gas generator, and it has both excalibur and b-paws.

another thing is that in-paws are uncontrollable, unlike excalibur

[varov14]

The military is seeing the root of the problem, as it is written, it is in that direction that we must work.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

I would like more about our new weapons ...

[alone]

According to Raytheon, 84 shells were fired during the test firing. Most of the shells had a maximum deviation of 2 m from the target, which is a high indicator

this is undoubtedly a high indicator. The 155 mmth projectile, which explodes 2 meters from the target, is guaranteed to destroy it. 1 target = 1 shell.

[SkiF_RnD]

It remains to take into account the accuracy of target designation. This is an important nuance.

[kafa]

The most characteristic from the point of view of the use of EW forces and means in the interests of air defense were the Arab-Israeli wars of the 1960s and 1970s. They used for the first time Soviet units and subunits of electronic warfare, which were in Egypt until August 1972.

In the "Six Day War" of 1967, the Arab states did not conduct electronic warfare due to the lack of radio intelligence and radio interference equipment in their armed forces. However, at the end of 1967, at the request of the governments of Egypt and Syria, the USSR supplied these countries with radio interference equipment and provided expert assistance in the formation and training of electronic warfare units. In April 1970, an electronic warfare department was formed in the air defense of Egypt (adviser Lieutenant Colonel Musatov), ​​to which the tactical radio communication jamming battalion, the electronic warfare center and the VHF radio communication jamming company were subordinate. Lieutenant Colonel Ismakov was the advisor in the electronic warfare center.

Radio interference in military operations was first created in April 1970 when Egyptian aircraft attacked enemy targets in the occupied Sinai Peninsula. As a result, Israeli army correspondents could not establish teletype communications. In subsequent hostilities, interference began to be widely used to suppress VHF radio communications.

But the actions in Egypt from March 1, 1971 to August 13, 1972 of the 513rd separate EW battalion under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Mavrin should be especially noted. Officers and warrant officers, soldiers and sergeants during the fighting showed courage and courage, showed high technical and special training, a clear coordination in combat work on reconnaissance and interference means in repelling the attacks of Israeli aircraft. By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the Order of the Red Star was awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Mavrin, Majors Kasich, Smirnov, Captain Kazantsev, senior lieutenants Mishchenko, Gaidukov, Pechenkin.

As a result of the use of interference, communications between Israeli aircraft and ground control posts were often disrupted, which negatively affected the results of operations. After the reports of Israeli pilots to ground control posts on the violation of radio communications, they received commands to stop the combat mission and return to the air base. The EW radio technical center was deployed in combat order at positions near the city of Cairo, and the EW mobile groups were formed from the center, which conducted electronic reconnaissance in the Suez Canal zone and interfered with the Israeli airborne radar, which raided air defense and air defense radar positions Of Egypt.

In the Arab-Israeli war of 1973, units and subunits of the EW of Egypt took part in the hostilities. By this time, thanks to the work of Soviet military advisers and specialists, they were ready for the combat use of radio intelligence and interference. During the military operations of 1973, the jamming battalion of the VHF radio communication aircraft was under operational control of the Air Force and was controlled by the CP of aviation. Units and subunits of interference with an aircraft radar were under operational command of the air defense command and, in cooperation with air defense units, provided cover for objects and groupings of troops in the areas of the cities of Cairo, Alexandria, Safaga and crossings through the Suez Canal. In addition, EW units and subunits conducted radio-technical reconnaissance of land and aircraft RES, which were then attacked by Egyptian aircraft and artillery. The information from the electronic reconnaissance means of the electronic warfare parts after its analysis made it possible to determine the class of onboard radio electronic equipment and the type of their carriers. These data were used at the Egyptian Air Defense Center in assessing the current air and radio-electronic situation.

In conclusion, one cannot fail to mention the experience of military operations in Afghanistan. Here, the main efforts of the electronic warfare were aimed at radio-electronic suppression of radio communications between the gangs of Dushmans and artillery, VHF radio lines for detonating guided mines, and blocking the guidance of missiles at the target.

That's right, "Excalibur" shoots only at stationary targets.

[kafa]

forgive me those present
In the USSR, the issues of jamming radio communications and radio-telecontrol systems were actively dealt with in the mid-30s of the last century. The first prototypes of HF and VHF jamming stations were developed ("Shtorm", "Shtorm-2", "Thunder"). In 1937 the Russian scientist M.A. Bonch-Bruevich put forward the idea of ​​jamming radars and proposed a number of ways to protect them from radio interference. In 1939, engineer NIKabanov developed a method and equipment for jamming a "false object" radar. In 1939, during the battles for Khalkhin Gol, the Red Army misled the command of the Japanese Armed Forces by carrying out radio camouflage and radio disinformation measures and achieved success.

So the birth of electronic warfare was completed and the first ways of its development were found.

Illumination of the target is made from command and observation posts, remote or side observation posts by reconnaissance rangefinders. KNPs are in direct combat formations of motorized rifle or parachute airborne units at the front line, in the zone of direct contact with the enemy. Artillery firing positions are located in the depths of our troops, at ranges providing for enemy fire damage both on the front line of defense and in the depth of defense, as a rule to the depth of the second echelon of defense of the NATO motorized infantry battalions. Those. simply put, a range of 25 km is the total range of the projectile, and targets for destruction are in close proximity to the KNP or the observation post. Therefore, everything coincides with Lopatov, and you need to tighten up the basic knowledge on the use of artillery.

As far as I understand the question, this Excalibur is controlled along the entire flight path, they have a bunch of all kinds of mechanisms inside, which is not the most for power. I think if our "centimeter" instead of a laser receiver is equipped with a glonass receiver and a gas generator added, it will be a song, despite the fact that its control system is much cheaper and lighter. Or maybe there is already something like that, for nothing that the Ministry of Defense classified the technology of impulse correction of projectiles

The main thing is that modernization does not lead to its appreciation. Otherwise, he will lose his advantages.
You just need to expand its capabilities. For example, in the Italian-German guided missiles of the Vulcan family, in addition to the inertial guidance module with correction according to the ZHPS, at the firing position, you can additionally install either a semi-active laser seeker (they do not refuse illumination, quite the opposite, they returned to it) or passive infrared.

I think that competent jamming in the GPS range will reduce their accuracy to naught.
