La US Navy est\u00e1 analizando la posibilidad de emplear el proyectil guiado de Artiller\u00eda EXCALIBUR, para reemplazar, a los efectivos pero muy costosos LRLAP (Long Range Land Attack Projectile) en los nav\u00edos Clase Zumwalt. Si bien la decisi\u00f3n de avanzar hacia los EXCALIBUR fue forzada por los severos recortes presupuestarios para los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os, Lo cierto es que la tecnolog\u00eda de los proyectiles guiados de Hipervelocidad (LRLAP) se estima estar\u00e1 “madura” como para entrar en servicio en 10 o 15 a\u00f1os. Por el contrario, si bien los Excalibur, guiados por GPS tienen la mitad del alcance de 60 millas de los LRLAP, cuestan la cuarta parte de estos, han sido probados con \u00e9xito en combate y fundamentalmente, est\u00e1n disponibles ya!<\/p>\n

\"MarinesTHE PENTAGON \u2014 The Navy is looking to Raytheon\u2019s Excalibur guided artillery round to replace the effective but expensive Long Range Land Attack Projectile for the Zumwalt-class of guided missile destroyers, defense officials confirmed to USNI News.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision to move ahead with the guided rounds for the 155mm Zumwalts\u2019 BAE Systems-built Advanced Gun Systems is codified in the Navy\u2019s Fiscal Year 2018 budget submission, a defense official familiar with the move told USNI News.<\/p>\n

The Navy would not confirm any details of the change saying the change was, \u201cpredecisional.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Navy continuously monitors the gun and ammunition industry capability and capacities. To address evolving threats and mission requirements, the Navy is evaluating industry projectile\u00a0solutions (including conventional and hyper-velocity projectiles) that can also meet the DDG 1000 deployment\u00a0schedule and could potentially be\u00a0used as an alternative to LRLAP for DDG 1000,\u201d Navy Capt. Thurraya Kent told USNI News on Monday in a written statement.<\/p>\n

While a guided hyper velocity projectile \u2013 being developed for the Navy\u2019s electromagnetic railgun program \u2013 is being proposed for the Navy\u2019s existing deck guns<\/a>, the development needed to use HVPs operationally in the service would take 10 to 15 years, USNI News understands.<\/p>\n

The benefit of Excalibur is the munition is ready now. The GPS-guided round \u2013 developed by Raytheon and BAE-Systems Bofors \u2013 has about half the range of the 60-mile LRLAP but costs about a quarter of LRLAP\u2019s estimated $1 million per round price tag.<\/p>\n

Though LRLAP performed well in testing, the Navy balked at the price tag. To outfit all three ships in the class with a buy of 2,000 rounds would have cost the service the cost equivalent of an Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyer \u2014 $1.8 to 2 billion on the high end of the estimate, service officials told USNI News last month.<\/p>\n

What remains now is how much additional engineering work it will take to modify the existing AGS to accommodate the Excalibur. The AGS barrel and the accompanying automatic ammunition handling system were specifically designed to handle the LRLAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a unique barrel for this ammunition. It\u2019s a six-inch round designed with the turnings to allow the LRLAP to fly out of that barrel. There\u2019s been some studies over the year that [indicate] that you could but you\u2019d have to undertake a modification of the system,\u201d then DDG-1000 program manager Rear Adm. Jim Downey told USNI News in May.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s not impossible but you can\u2019t directly fire [hyper velocity projectiles] out of that barrel without modifications.\u201d<\/p>\n

One defense official told USNI News it might take up to $250 million in engineering costs to modify the three ship class for Excalibur<\/p>\n
