It is installed in a standard 155-mm artillery projectile and in front of the shot lay the coordinates of goals, thus turning it into a high-precision ammunition. The publication states that the projectiles used by the Firtina howitzers, which are in service with the Turkish army, can effectively impress targets at a long distance. It is reported that a similar project is used for 122 mm ammunition of multi-barreled missile systems.
The likelihood of a circular deviation for large caliber is planned to be reduced by 50 m. The TGK kit can be used in the temperature range from -40C to +52C, according to the MIL-STD-331 standard, the observers say. An example was the MKE Mod 274 ammunition, which has a flight range of about 39 km. It is already known that the magnitude of the deviation of an unmanaged 155mm ammunition MKE Mod 274 is an average of 150-200 meters.
Depending on the battlefield, this value may increase, but TGK is intended to partially solve this problem. The material also states that many weapons in the world are trying to solve a similar problem, but they face difficulties. The fact is that the pressure from howitzers on the side of the ammunition is quite significant, which interferes with the work of electronics, which increases the accuracy of the projectile flight.
