Northrop Grumman develops self-guided munitions for the Mk 110.
As reported on 4 October, the US Navy has awarded Northrop Grumman the development contract for a new 57-millimetre guided munition variant. The company has already laid the technical foundations for the ammunition on its own initiative. The contract that has now been awarded will be used for development up to series production and the associated testing. The new shells are intended for use with the Mk 110 deck gun, which is currently deployed on the Navy's Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). The fully automatic gun can be used against both air targets - including UAVs and sea targets - and sea targets.
