Comment ERGM and AGS (Score 1) 1172

The PDF shows in there the ERGM round but it doesn't show the AGS (Advanced Gun System) Shell. Both of these are made to be gun fired out of the main guns of the DDX destroyer. After being fired the like an artillery shell the rocket motor kicks in to take it up to a higher trajectory and then it guides its self to the target using GPS navigation. Each AGS gun will have a rate of fire of 8 shells per minute , so both guns will be able lob 16 precision GPS shells at about 100 miles on to a shore target. Those shell can be fired at slightly differing angles and trajectories so they arrive at the same time.
