Future Naval weapon, LRLAP guided projectile (17 Photos)
The Navy successfully completed its latest round of long-range, land-attack projectile (LRLAP) guided-flight tests at White Sands Missile Range, N.M.
LRLAP is a 155mm rocket-assisted guided projectile designed to support land-attack operations in conjunction with the Advanced Gun System (AGS) on DDG 1000 Zumwalt class destroyers.
The four flight tests flew accurately to a designated impact point and met test objectives for successful gun launch, rocket motor ignition and operation, GPS acquisition, and terminal guidance.
“This test marks a significant progress in development of the tactical LRLAP hardware, including a first-time demonstration of LRLAP’s point detonation warhead fusing mode, one of the last remaining capabilities to be proven in a flight test environment,” said Capt. Timothy Batzler, Navy Surface Ship Weapons major program manager, Program Executive Office for Integrated Warfare Systems
