Navy Advanced Gun System Scenario: Non-combatant Evacuation

Navy Advanced Gun System (AGS) Non-combatant Evacuation Simulation Scenario.

A combination of real-time modeling and simulation and rendered graphics are used to showcase the capabilited of the Advanced Gun System in a Non-combatant Evacuation scenario.

AGS Virtual Integration Facility Non-combatant Evacuation Scenario (2003)


The DDX destroyer with its two Advanced Gun Systems (AGS) will provide future naval expeditionary strike groups the transformational naval surface fire support and sea based strike capabilities required for the nation's emerging 421 defense strategy.

Advanced Gun System (AGS) is a vertically loaded 155 mm cannon with a fully automated magazine. The gun will fire rounds up to 100 nautical mi with a sustained firing rate of 10 rounds per minute.

The following operational scenario depicts a expeditionary strike group executing non-combatant evacuation operation supported by the DDX. Real time operation of this scenario would take hours to complete, therefore time compression techniques are used.

DD(X) was also known as DD-21, and is now the DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer.

oh no way. missles for the win. way more efficient

[AdvGunSys]

Missiles are too destructive for small targets, expensive and take a long time to plan. This weapon system can deliver 20+ lbs high explosive within GPS accuracy in 3 to 6 minutes from over 70 miles away!

But will it blend?

@TheJamesrocket

yes a 16"/54 cal gun can toss a 2,300 lb shell 38 miles inland, but firing one into an urban environ gives you massive collateral damage. and from what the projections show, the AGS, if it lives up to it's hype will toss 2 98lb shells at a single building 110 miles from muzzle, with a CEP of less than 50m

@bri4u2906 It's by BAE North America, not the British side. It's american.

[TheJamesrocket]

What most people don't realise is that a battleship is hardly any bigger a target than a modern cruiser,destroyer,or aircraft carrier,and packs much greater armored protection(enough to easily withstand modern missiles)and fires 2700lbs shells,not puny 98lbs!

[midgetman2142]

it's like a jdam, but delivered through a gun....and hundred jdam's at a time

[bri4u2906]

Its by BAE = British ;)

[patsyd80]

americans really are a breed apart.

[stevo401401]

what the hell kind of question is that, of course. A sniper is a high priority target, they can fuck up a mission with a single bullet. It's not overkill at all.

[jaymzanator]

yes. accuracy to within 1m. an AGS LR shell can have a blast radius to disable a sniper to within 10m.

[DroehnIng]

you're right, i guess not :D

...IMO this Vid is just some kind of propaganda. It almost sounds like this gun is allmighty.
