BAE Systems Tests Extended-Range Scorpio-XR Artillery Round
Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center have successfully test-fired the company’s new Scorpio-XR extended-range artillery projectile from a 155mm howitzer.
The tests, conducted with 155mm 52-calibre Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding howitzers, reportedly saw several rounds exceed performance objectives by guiding accurately to and striking their targets.
"We continue to push the boundaries of precision in long-range artillery systems and will continue to build on this success and explore the full potential of how this technology will impact the future of artillery systems," said Jason Casciotti, programme director for Combat Systems Development at BAE Systems.
BAE Systems said the results confirmed the projectile’s compatibility with existing NATO-standard artillery systems. The successful demonstration of the Scorpio-XR rounds is a major achievement for the program.
