Under a new contract, Northrop Grumman has been contracted to develop a guided "Smart" 57mm shell for the U.S. Navy.
The United States Navy has officially contracted Northrop Grumman to develop a guided naval artillery shell. Designed for use from Naval Mark 110 Naval guns, the new 57mm shell will be matured and testedThe 57mm guided high explosive shell will have the unique ability to adjust its flight path while approaching a specific target. It is designed to counter speedy surface threats, drones, and swarming dangers.
The new guided munition, explains Northrop Grumman, will be designed with guidance technology similar to the "Precision Guidance Kit," allowing it to provide continuous trajectory guidance to targets that may pivot frequently. This technology, along with the use of seekers and an aft-maneuver system, allows for greater stand-off range and a cost-effective solution against small, fast-moving threats for the Navy.
