DD 21 Advanced Gun System will provide the volume of fires and sustainability, improved lethality, and increased range needed for 21st century warfare. It will provide extremely accurate sustained fires using precision-guided Naval and Joint Service munitions with nearly 10 times the range of current shipboard guns. Built by United Defense, the advanced gun will meet the Marine Corps surface fire support requirements. Additionally, the gun system will support other DD 21 requirements:
Reduced manning: The advanced handling system will be fully automatic and unmanned.
Reduced signatures: The gun design, with its above deck structure, will meet the stealth requirement of DD 21.
Reduced O&S Costs: The entire system will have reduced maintenance requirements.
The Advanced Gun System will expand on the Army and Marine Corps 155MM gun and will leverage existing ordnance technologies (ERGM, Army XM982 155MM projectile, SADARM / Unitary warheads, Army Crusader program).
United Defense recommended a traditional pointing gun for DD-21 and the Navy concurred. The Navy decided against a vertical gun for DD-21 in part because "stealth" technologies can reduce the signature of a traditional pointing gun mount and because a vertical gun would not always meet the 100-nm range requirement. Among other disadvantages, the vertical gun would have a shorter range and its projectiles would take longer to reach their target.
Plans now call for a fully automated pointing gun firing 12 rounds per minute. Associated with the gun are gunfire control functionality integrated into the DD 21 Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE), an automated magazine, and low-radar and IR signatures for the gun and barrel. AGS design includes a family of 155mm extended range guided projectiles with warheads matched to the projected land attack target set. Efforts are underway to achieve as much commonality as possible with US Army 155mm projectiles.
Another DD 21 primary operational capability is maritime dominance - the seagoing component of Joint Vision 2010旧 tenet of dominant maneuver. Maintaining maritime dominance demands better situational awareness, full spectrum offensive engagement capability, robust self defense, and sufficient mobility to employ multi-dimensional forces to provide a decisive advantage over an enemy at sea.
Maritime Dominance is a prerequisite for land attack operations which allows naval forces to first control and then extend the littoral battlespace inland. The effect is to provide Joint and combined forces unimpeded access to strategic and tactical areas of interest ashore. DD 21 will establish and maintain superiority over the surface, subsurface, and local air battlespace by performing a variety of maritime missions including air, surface, submarine, mine, and special warfare, and other fleet support operations. |
