Precision Guidance Kit (PGK)

In 2006, ATK was awarded one of two technology demonstration contracts from the U.S. Army to develop a Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) for the 155mm Howitzer artillery system. PGK will make the stockpile of existing artillery ammunition significantly more effective at a relatively low cost by adding GPS guidance and navigation capability in a package that fits into the fuze well of an existing 155mm projectile.

ATK’s PGK solution, featuring a highly effective fixed-canard guidance approach, gun-hardened electronics, self-generated power, and a minimum number of moving parts, not only meets but exceeds program requirements for accuracy, effectiveness, range, and cost.

The ATK PGK industry team includes Interstate Electronics Corporation.
