Advanced Precision Kill Weapon

Posted May 30, 2012 by GunFun

BAE Systems announced today that the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System scored its first-ever penetrating guided-rocket shots with the M282 warhead during recent tests at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The tests, deemed successful by U.S. Army and Navy representatives, illustrate the product's exceptional capability to engage targets at close range and penetrate complex targets.

    APKWS will give precision kill capability to aircraft that were previously limited to unguided rockets and guns. Awesome weapon, the Marines must be psyched to have such incredible accuracy and now be able to shoot where ROE restrictions had limited them before. Looking forward to some combat footage.

    And this gives us what capability that we don't already have? Oh, that's right, nothing...but it will cost a BUNDLE and some procurement majors and colonels will get great VP jobs with BAE when they leave the service.
