Since the round is spinning via barrel rifling, it must utilize some type of swash plate slewing system which contorts the body (warhead) of the projectile towards the targets location in an axial manner consistent with the rate of rotation? Though, it's just a guess, since no post-firing extendable control fins were noted.
@@merlepattersonif you look at the round being handled @1:37 it appears to have small fins at the base. Similar to the small, fixed canards that PGK has up front.
I am a History geek. I especially love Antiquity and Bronze Age History. The fact that a projectile, by it own programmed behavior, which is set into a chip inside the round, which chip can resist the absurd G-force of being fired, can adjust its course mid-flight to hit a swerving target, that is absolutely crazy.
That's cool. Remembering that military tech often translates into civilian tech improvements, I can only imagine what sorts of capabilities next Gen electronics, robotics, and drones may have someday, or even already.
For anyone wondering the italian company Oto Melara has been doing this for years with their 76 mm naval cannons. They are developing a guided munition called "Vulcano" and "DART" (they already developed it but it still needs some tests and things like that) and it can also be used on wheeled vehicles like the Draco SPAA.
Yes, everyone knows about Oto. Thing is, guided cannon munitions are questionable and are still being investigated. I think the main advantage is how much you can store. Cant store many missiles
Are they able to hit moving targets though? I know there are plenty of 76 and 155 mm artillery and cannon munitions with GPS and IMU based course correction capabilities, but they're all meant for stationary targets. This 57 mm guided projectile however claims it can even be used against fast moving targets, which is much harder.
@@pieterveenders9793 the strales system can hit targets up to 8 km of distance (maximum range tested) with the guided ammunition. It can change its trajectory while in air like a missile and is fast enough to hit fast moving targets like missiles, which is why it replaced all existing CIWS on Italian warships.
No moving fins? or just not showing? If that's the case, it has to control the shell by internal mechanism to change center of gravity thereby altering the torque vector.
Probably bearings, the French have HEAT ammo with bearings to avoid the decrease of penetration cuz the hollow shape charge spinning move... And the trajectory change... I don't know... small nozzles as the Gyrojet 60's rocket round?
Same thing with drones. Stick a miniature HEAT in a drone, or just small amount C4, contact fuse. Or even proximity fuse detonation. Scary as puck! Saw a video about this on YT...
How does it redirectional maneuver in midflight without fins and propeller? How does it lock to its target to begin with? How much does it cost compare to the guided missiles with projectile, no explosive head?
How does it change direction? UPDATE It uses Aft-Body Maneuver (ABM). Aka most likely the projectile spins (important) and uses an Aft thruster. Ignited at the right moments and asymmetrical arranged it can push the projectile in the right direction. Since it is a development coming from space technology, fins would be completely useless and all makes sense.
@@yafarid Thanks, nice video. I also expected fins, but why do they not show once this ammunition with fins here? Either bad footage or they use some kind of inertia control.

This reminds me of a type of advanced autocannon ammunition from EVE Online called "Barrage". The description of the item states that it features a smart tracking system.
Probably 10-20x more than normal 57mm I would guess. Then again, what is the cost if you miss with a regular round and the enemy gets an opportunity to shoot at you?
I was wondering how the steering works, considering no control surfaces are visible. I thought maybe the tip is mounted on a ball joint, changing the geometry of the projectile. But I googled and the production model seems to have fins.
BB in modern warfare is a joke blud 155 MM AGS can do better (but the cost per rounds is so expensive) but still better than bring old cannon to battlefield. Missouri will easily targeted by drone/missile/suicidal boat swarm since her cannon only have 40 km range
So how does it locate and track? Shell doesn’t look like it has any propulsion after being shot. I know rifling and other fancy aerodynamic stuff can give it a path more advanced than a straight or curved line, but the ability to “track no matter how many pivots the enemy makes” is an interesting statement for something without rocket or even jet air thrusters that alter direction.
As a shorter commenter suggested it is likely to be gyroscopic, slow down the effect turn one way, let it run free turn the other, slow down go straight

How is it able to change direction? I am guessing that the shell has a rotating weight that Corristons with the rotation of the shell. So if you wanted it to go left, it would constantly shift it's inner weight in that direction while correcting for the spin. Otherwise, the shell would wobble and may even go wild.
Yes, but in terms of a percentage of the military budget, this is much cheaper. The US can afford to have more of these rounds than an enemy can afford drones. Besides, that drone in the animation probably costs more like $20,000; this is for things like TB-2 type drones and weaponized speedboats, which are pretty close to the cost of the rounds. The really cheap drones will be dealt with mostly using high-powered jammers and other electronic warfare equipment.
Different type of round. Besides, the reason why the AGS rounds are so expensive is because the cost of developing them ended up being spread across like three hundred shells. If they had made the ten thousand shells that were originally ordered, the price per unit would have been much less.
You can get Italian VULCANO 155mm guided range extended shells (pretty much the same specs as the shells the Zumwalts were supposed to have) for around 100.000-150.000€ per shell. So a fraction of what the US cost estimate was. And those shells are already in production for quite some time, the US could have just bought some. But no, a license production is not good enough, they have to design and develop their own only to cancel them due to cost, which defeats the purpose of the entire ship class. A MASSIVE failure of the US military industrial complex, and they are too embarrassed to buy a license production from Italy, which would allow them to get the shells they need for a fraction of the cost.

How much does it retail for?
