A new variant of Raytheon’s Excalibur precision-guided shell has successfully hit a mobile target.

The demonstration conducted in a U.S. Navy test at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, saw the munition change course to hit a target that changed its position.
The company stated, the Excalibur S proved it can “survive the shock and stress” of being fired from a Howitzer, then transition from a GPS-guided capability to laser guidance and hit a moving target.
This is a significant breakthrough since a shell fired from a cannon is subjected to a lot of force which can destroy the complex seeker mechanism in the shell.

The Excalibur S beats rivals in terms of accuracy, range and ability to hit mobile targets.

In this video Defense Updates analyzes US Navy’s Excalibur S long-range precision shell that can hit moving targets.
