US Army validates GA-EMS maneuvering 155mm extended-range artillery round

General Atomics is developing a maneuvering 155mm artillery projectile (ERAP) with deployable wings and redundant guidance to reach ~74+ miles from legacy guns like the M777. The novelty is extended range without rocket assist plus a non-GPS precision mode for GPS-denied environments, potentially expanding cannon artillery’s deep-strike role against armored and air-defense targets.
