In addition to reducing the number of projectiles required to hit targets, which in turn reduces collateral damage and risk to civilians, the PGK design also incorporates a “fail safe” option, where the PGK equipped artillery round will not detonate if it does not get close enough to the target. “PGK ensures that any rounds that would normally land more than 150 meters [from the target] fail safe,” explained Lt. Col. Will McDonough, U.S. Army Product Manager for Guided Precision Munitions and Mortar Systems. “Fail safe is when a round continues on its trajectory and lands, but it does not explode.
