The Advanced Gun System is a
naval gun system under development by
BAE Systems Armaments Systems (formerly
United Defense) for the
United States Navy as part of the
DD(X) destroyer program.Originally designed for mounting as a vertical gun, this 155 mm caliber gun has since been slated for mounting within a more conventional turret arrangement. The AGS is designed to offer a weapon system capable of delivering precision munitions at a high rate of fire and at over-the-horizon ranges. As a vertical gun system it would only have been capable of firing guided munitions, although the turret mounting will allow the use of unguided munitions as well.
