I will keep this in mind for when I’m buying ammunition for my battleship
Or shares in the company
😂
A battleship in the age of drones? Tell me you're a boomer without telling me you're a boomer. ;)

Bass Pro Shops has them on sale while supplies last. 😏
Now make a guided 406mm shell so the Iowa class ships can be recommissioned
Bro’s trying to remake the IJN Type 3 AA shell (It’s actually available in 14”, 16” and 46cm versions)
recommissioning them would need a complete engine and boiler replacement. That means disassembling 1/3 of the entire ship (cutting away the superstructure and the entire middle section between the gun turrets down to the waterline), and then engineering a new steam engine system which hasnt been build in the US for decades. Shoving a gas turbine system in there is probably even harder because you need to redesign the entire system and the entire interieur. At the end of their service life the Iowas had been down to a max speed of under 30 knots, since their turbine and boiler system is simply worn out. Historically, battleships had their engine systems replaced after around 25 years or so for the same reasons.
Also, battleships like the Iowas are useless in modern combat, even if you give them guided shells. Their armor is useless, they lack VLS, and they lack modern electronic systems (radar, communcation systems, electronic warfare, datalinks, etc etc), and to give them that would be far too complicated, since you would also need to replace basically the enitre ships interieur electronic systems.
Building a giant missile battleship from scratch would be much more useful and probably cheaper lol.
@@xxnightdriverxx9576 Minor nitpick: They do have all the fancy radar and electronic systems (Up to 1980s standards)
@@ZaHandle correct, and those are over 40 years out of date now. Not exactly fancy at all. Their radars, comms etc are very bad compared to modern ones. If they would go back into service all that stuff would need to be updated to be worth it, and at that point you are also replacing every second wire in the ship.
I doubt it would be worth wasting 406mm shells on drones and small boats.
Just the ammo I needed to defend my car from fighter jets whenever I go in a roundabout. Thank you Northrop Grumman👍👍
wont help you if the jet is supermaneuverable tho
defend car from fighter jets? I was going to get this for goose hunting.
i had the same sequence of recommendations too..
@@Invisty :(
A man of culture I see
Low cost anti drone munitions seem kind of important right now.
a better solution is honestly the Italian 76mm Sovrapente gun system. It has a nice array of different ammunitons, has longer effective range, and does not have a deck penetrating mount. That means you can mount it anywhere, you dont need to reconstruct some parts of the ship, you can slap it on top of a hangar if you want for example. Far more versatile for refits of existing ships than something like the 57mm.
for example excalibur is kinda expansive, whats the price of that above one?
Bad news! These 57mm rounds almost certainly cost at least 50,000 dollars
@@jorgenguyen7641 not if they are only laser guided and have no INS (intertial) type back up. That type of missile/projectile has been done before. Eg Copperhead from the US.
TEF
"low cost" lmao, good one.
The bullet knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
It knows where it is but does it know what it is? Can it be conscious? How conscious? Can it make me a picture of a human with a seal face. Or just a seal with a really big face next to a human?

It is not like the rugby fans would buy those ammunitions.
Since the round is spinning via barrel rifling, it must utilize some type of swash plate slewing system which contorts the body (warhead) of the projectile towards the targets location in an axial manner consistent with the rate of rotation? Though, it's just a guess, since no post-firing extendable control fins were noted.
Aft PGK variant i think: dual spin projectile
@@LongerLasting Possibly? Not much in the ways of detail to go by.
@@merlepattersonif you look at the round being handled @1:37 it appears to have small fins at the base. Similar to the small, fixed canards that PGK has up front.
@@LongerLasting Or Excaliber. Or it could be using small, one-shot side thrusters that were tested on 40mm round all the way back in the late 80s.
If that is a swash plate in the back section (almost looks like a bellows) how does it survive the g force of the shot? Sick tech.
No more slathering myself in mosquito reppelent when I go out into the woods.

@@tonywood3660 🤣
The proverbial "bullet with a name on it". Yours.
Same thing with drones. Stick a miniature HEAT in a drone, or just small amount C4, contact fuse. Or even proximity fuse detonation. Scary as puck! Saw a video about this on YT...
umagonna change dat.
nah it self selects targets so its addressed: "to whom it may concern"
I really love how the rounds self select targets WITHOUT a control program
Only shoot toward what you want to kill. Same as how most anti ship missiles work
They have fins that come out during flight similar to the Excalibur round.
A wise armourer would be extra careful handling these rounds.
You wouldn't want to be too rough and piss one off.
Like pretty much all missiles fire and forget systems
BAE’s ORKA round is even better.
definitely considering this for my Mk110 weapon system.
Thank you
I am a History geek. I especially love Antiquity and Bronze Age History.
The fact that a projectile, by it own programmed behavior, which is set into a chip inside the round, which chip can resist the absurd G-force of being fired, can adjust its course mid-flight to hit a swerving target, that is absolutely crazy.
That's cool. Remembering that military tech often translates into civilian tech improvements, I can only imagine what sorts of capabilities next Gen electronics, robotics, and drones may have someday, or even already.

So cool it's something that exists by decades now and this Is Just a copy
For anyone wondering the italian company Oto Melara has been doing this for years with their 76 mm naval cannons. They are developing a guided munition called "Vulcano" and "DART" (they already developed it but it still needs some tests and things like that) and it can also be used on wheeled vehicles like the Draco SPAA.
Yes, everyone knows about Oto.
Thing is, guided cannon munitions are questionable and are still being investigated.
I think the main advantage is how much you can store. Cant store many missiles
@@honkhonk8009 yes you're right
Are they able to hit moving targets though? I know there are plenty of 76 and 155 mm artillery and cannon munitions with GPS and IMU based course correction capabilities, but they're all meant for stationary targets. This 57 mm guided projectile however claims it can even be used against fast moving targets, which is much harder.
@@pieterveenders9793 the strales system can hit targets up to 8 km of distance (maximum range tested) with the guided ammunition. It can change its trajectory while in air like a missile and is fast enough to hit fast moving targets like missiles, which is why it replaced all existing CIWS on Italian warships.
Now even the navy has aimbot
literally they did it for Mk 45 earlier, they just make the 57mm version
Proud of my son - a test engineer for this ammo

Great achievement! Electronics that can stand the G forces of being fired from a gun barrel are amazing! Awesome low-cost solution.
Nothing is low cost about the US MIC.
@@cybervigilanteI should say lower cost. The alternative is a missile that may cost more than $1 million per shot.
I dont currently own a U.S. Navy’s Mk110 weapon system, but as soon as I do I'll be sure to check this out. Thanks NG
ITs like that self guiding 50 cal round but way more room for computers thus the epic guiding, nice.
I can imagine them playing this exact video to a US Senator for sells purposes and for some reason thats funny af
Nice bit of kit.
10/10 highly recommend, fast shipping, as pictured, fit my battery perfectly
This reminds me of a type of advanced autocannon ammunition from EVE Online called "Barrage". The description of the item states that it features a smart tracking system.
So when do we get a SAM system mounted on the LLV (common mailtruck)
Self selecting which mode has the highest probability of a kill in flight is actually pretty amazing. The future of warfare is scary AF.
Me and boys were about to board a cargo ship and we saw one of these badboys swivel through the air right into the engine block NICE WORK 👏
Wanted went from Hollywood fiction to science documentary real quick.
Fin-less guided projectile, this is a breakthrough!
🤣🤣😂😂
Yeah, I hope you’re being sarcastic. I think they just left it off the graphic. There is no way that think of God itself without fins.
@@hardheadjarhead reaction wheels
@@hardheadjarhead ever heard of a gyroscope?
It has fins that come out during flight similar to the Excalibur shell. You can google pics of it.
NGC was awarded a contract to develop this in Oct 2023. Give it a couple of years.
"Mississippi queen, she told me everything"
No moving fins? or just not showing? If that's the case, it has to control the shell by internal mechanism to change center of gravity thereby altering the torque vector.
I'm guessing it's not shown for security purposes, as an internal gyro would be somewhat impractical
Internal translation or rotation of some mass: typically the warhead or GNC
Or you have two independently spinning masses connected by a bearing: the aft portion of the shell here might be similar to PGK Aft.
Jeez, tell us something we don't know!
Probably bearings, the French have HEAT ammo with bearings to avoid the decrease of penetration cuz the hollow shape charge spinning move... And the trajectory change... I don't know... small nozzles as the Gyrojet 60's rocket round?
If medium caliber can do it big caliber can do it too. Time to bring back the battleships!
BB in modern warfare is a joke
blud 155 MM AGS can do better (but the cost per rounds is so expensive) but still better than bring old cannon to battlefield. Missouri will easily targeted by drone/missile/suicidal boat swarm since her cannon only have 40 km range
Frighteningly effective.
very cool, did the same thing in high school with a reaction wheel a tracking camera and some basic code. not as high tech but soo cool to see
I'm not gonna lie, I thought I clicked on a Bosnian Ape Society video at first.
Same
Badass
Whoa awesome tech!
This would also be awesome to use in a infantry support dual purpose anti air , anti vehicle??
For those of y’all wondering how it works
They’re still figuring that out as we speak. So that’s why you don’t see any sort of fins/thrusters in the 3D animation. They still don’t have the ammunition developed yet
Or it's just a trade secret.
@@r-saint The contract’s only been awarded since October 2023
@@ZaHandle The theoretical feasibility has to be proven before the contract is even awarded.
Feasibility tests occurs before the contract is written.
we have multiple types of rounds that guide themselves
amazing
I love reading comments section of weapons manufacturers commercial videos lol.
ARH 57MM!!!
How does it redirectional maneuver in midflight without fins and propeller?
How does it lock to its target to begin with? How much does it cost compare to the guided missiles with projectile, no explosive head?
Classified bruh
Thrust vectoring?
Rotating mass mounted on a giro I think. Satellites use something akin to that.
Mumble mumble "AI" mumble.

That is good old American innovation. Keep it up.
Actually the italian company Oto-melara developed these projectiles at least a decade ago
Very impressive
Personally stocked about these, but I’ll have to wait for the Black Fridays sale
And best of all each shell coats 10,000x more than a standard round helping us beat earnings expectations for the next 5 years
No it is a cheap round
Guided freedom delivered !
It will liberate you, and I truly hope you get your wish.
They developed a very impressive exacto program
do you have this in 5.56mm?
Hey, just what you see, pal.
Perhaps compromise at 20mm? Radar tracker is kinda wider than 5.56
Googled it. It's in development stage. Might be one of the those overpromise and underdelivers.
But it could also be genuinely good tho.
Wonderful! Now I have the perfect compliment to my home security cameras in-case some ne'er-do-well attempts to disturb the peace and safety of my home.
Well Done......!!!!
What they don't tell you is one of those shells cost like $50,000. Meanwhile a drone is $5K.
Yes, but in terms of a percentage of the military budget, this is much cheaper. The US can afford to have more of these rounds than an enemy can afford drones. Besides, that drone in the animation probably costs more like $20,000; this is for things like TB-2 type drones and weaponized speedboats, which are pretty close to the cost of the rounds. The really cheap drones will be dealt with mostly using high-powered jammers and other electronic warfare equipment.
Still cheaper than a missile.
Happy to report only $18379 /round based on a contract for 808 rounds back 2020 😃
@@user936 See that's my tactic, I just throw out a number until someone online corrects me lol.
You're saying the ship should let the drone attack it.
That's really a good idea (sarcasm)
Autonomous target aquisition and tracking once in flight, 🤔, what could possibly go wrong?
It’s just fins on the back. It’s physically can’t turn back on you (See: Momentum)
Besides it can’t turn that much as shown in the video (neither does the boat tbh, unless it’s literally dodging a supersonic ammunition)
I guess it depends on where you aim it

thank you for making new guided ammo i need about 30,000 rounds to supply my Independence class LCS for home defense
dont hurt your brains figuring out how it works northrop grumman already did the thinking for you
There is no wrong finding about it, we military enthusiasts love to learn.
i was wondering tooo how does it maneuver , it turns out it's classified , but i guess some kind of internal gravitional control or external that isn't shown here
ill contact the seller to buy some rounds to defend by battle ship and i'll get to you back with detailed plans after reverse engenring of the shell guys
It's not classified, you can google pictures of the demo prototype and see the pop out fins. It's not that old tech, Excalibur uses similar guidance.
@@TheSwegBucket have u ever heard of somthing called a joke ?
I dig it
Absolutely unreal....wow.
Just like precision-guided shells for Zumwalt AGS? 800K per shell that the US Navy, most loaded navy in the world, refuse to use?
Im sure northnop can bring it down to a more reasonable $750,000 per shot but with a 1 year shelf life
@@roywhiteo5 What a bargain, black Friday special.
Different type of round. Besides, the reason why the AGS rounds are so expensive is because the cost of developing them ended up being spread across like three hundred shells. If they had made the ten thousand shells that were originally ordered, the price per unit would have been much less.
You can get Italian VULCANO 155mm guided range extended shells (pretty much the same specs as the shells the Zumwalts were supposed to have) for around 100.000-150.000€ per shell. So a fraction of what the US cost estimate was.
And those shells are already in production for quite some time, the US could have just bought some. But no, a license production is not good enough, they have to design and develop their own only to cancel them due to cost, which defeats the purpose of the entire ship class. A MASSIVE failure of the US military industrial complex, and they are too embarrassed to buy a license production from Italy, which would allow them to get the shells they need for a fraction of the cost.
@@xxnightdriverxx9576Which is schizophrenic, because guess who makes most Naval Autocannons? "Otobreda" (sorry if i misspelled that). I guess the DoD is just reeeeeeeally worried about supply security :)

Guided ammunition? Wowie
Didnt realize this was an Official Northrop Grumman video until he said "our Scientists"💀💀
The plural of craft, in the naval sense, is craft. Two ships are two craft.
Sewing and painting may be two different crafts, but that's an entirely different word.
It would be nice to know how exactly it alters the course
57 mm is great round size.
Physic’s😵💫
How is it able to change direction?
I am guessing that the shell has a rotating weight that Corristons with the rotation of the shell. So if you wanted it to go left, it would constantly shift it's inner weight in that direction while correcting for the spin. Otherwise, the shell would wobble and may even go wild.
Now that adds a new dimension to deer hunting!
yes
This round guides itself to the target. It knows where to aim itself because it doesnt know where it is in space, but know where it isnt.
railguns/emag launchers are still gonna be king in the next 6.5 years you know it i know it, get ahead of the curve
guided by the souls of the mechanicuses machine spirit
Wasn't a round similar to this developed for .50BMG a few years back? This doesn't seem all that impressive in comparison, although that .50 round was radio-guided by a sensor and computer watching the tracer as I recall.
Seems expensive, but probably far cheaper than a missile
Sounds great, where can I buy some?
RAHH I LOVE THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
How do those things steer? Do they have thrust vectoring or something?
How to change the flight path of a rotating projectile. Is guidance active, semi-active or passive?
add to cart*
Can't even start to imagine how it can be accomplished for a fast spinning ammunition...
How does it change course in the air while spinning and without any finned or aerodynamic system??
We want 1 million units shipped by end of month. No questions please.
