Mid-Range Munition
The XM1111 Mid-Range Munition is a precision-guided, 120-mm gun-fired smart ammunition that will provide a dual-mode, beyond-line-of-sight capability for Future Combat System’s Mounted Combat System.  Raytheon has demonstrated the digital semi active laser and imaging infrared modes of its dual-mode seeker in successful live-fire tests conducted in 2006 and March 2007.  The company has submitted its proposal to the U.S. Army for the Mid-Range Munition system design and development contract.

Excalibur
Excalibur is a combat-proven system with the accuracy required to reduce collateral damage.  With its accuracy and increased effectiveness, Excalibur provides operational flexibility and reduced logistical burden for deployed ground forces. The ground commander now has a precision, in-direct fire capability that is organic to the brigade combat team.

Extended Range Guided Munition
The Extended Range Guided Munition (ERGM), designated EX 171, is a major component of the U.S. Navy's Sea Power 21 Sea Strike concept and will support forces ashore with sustained and accurate fires.  ERGM couples increased range with the GPS/Inertial Navigation System guidance to provide responsive lethal fire support to U.S. Marines ashore.  ERGM is designed for 5-inch naval guns.
