PGK
>>1. PGK пока только в проекте, все никак не родится для гаубиц.
>Уже есть в металле.
Да щаз прям:

>Precision artillery munitions acquisition strategy
>The budget request contained $42.6 million in PE 64814A for continued Excalibur development and $13.8 million in PE 64802A for continued Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) test and evaluation. The budget request also contained $69.1 million for procurement of M982 Excalibur artillery munitions but contained no funding for the PGK program.
>The committee is aware the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army conducted a Capability Portfolio Review (CPR) for Precision Fires in 2010 which resulted in a significant decrease in the quantity of Excalibur rounds in favor of investment in the PGK program. The committee recognizes that the Excalibur 1B round, scheduled to begin procurement in fiscal year 2012, is more expensive than the projected cost of the PGK. However, the committee notes that there appears to be significant differences in the accuracy performance between the precision Excalibur round and the near-precision PGK system in that the Excalibur system significantly outperforms the PGK system.
>The committee understands that since the Army concluded its CPR, the Excalibur round has continued to be successfully fired in Operation New Dawn and Operation Enduring Freedom against multiple targets. The Excalibur program was also recertified as essential to national security following a Nunn-McCurdy review triggered by the decrease in procurement quantity from the CPR. The committee notes the PGK program has encountered continued reliability problems with a greater than 3-year delay, prompting the Army to delay PGK full-rate production from October 2010 to November 2012. The committee is concerned about these developments and believes the Army should revisit its mix of artillery munitions that could include an increase in the requirement for Excalibur precision guided rounds.
>Therefore, the committee recommends $3.8 million, a decrease of $10.0 million, in PE 64802A, for the PGK program.
